After finally getting in touch with the detective in charge of my theft case, I went to the impound lot thursday night to recover my car after they released it. It was buried in the very back lot, covered in snow, but it was there. It'* been sitting for 2 months (theft was 10/1 and it started right up. Not too much damage, column obviously, and 3 different sections of upholstry that had been cut out for supposed "DNA testing". That'* the only part that really pissed me off, if any of you remember my pictures the interior was damn near perfect when i got it besides the warped dash. Everything was there though, they didn't even take the change out of my ashtray. But oh well i have it back, and I already have it sold. Just installed a Rockford punch HE2 10" subwoofer in a ported box in the trunk with a cheapie 150 watt/300 max wal-mart amp. Sounds pretty good I must say for cheap. So anyways that'* my happy story for the new years.

Any compensation for the cut seats?

No... but they didn't charge me for the two or anything. Which i wouldn't have paid if they tried.

Thats F#@ckd up. Somebody besides you should have to pay for that.

I never heard of having to cut for DNA testing either :?:

Well the DNA was because the car was used in a sexual assult, i'm guessing they needed... ugh... "samples" of some kind. But it'* all good, i got a new column out of a '90 PA for 40 bucks and a new set of Goodyear Allegra tires for 43 bucks a piece at sams. It'* now sold for $500.
