The first time my 01 Jeep was stolen was around 2012. They found it a couple days before the 30 day window where insurance pays out. MFers stripped all the wiring out of it.
I thought for sure insurance would total it but the wiring harness was only a couple hundred bucks so it was all labor cost. Took the shop 3 months to get it rewired. The guy absolutely hated that job. I'd call every week for a status and he'd rage about what a PITA it was.
The couple years after while I was still in KC every time I drove by his shop I'd lay on the horn and wave.
It was stolen again a few years later and a 3rd attempt was made after that. I'm still rolling it like a maniac to this day but its got all kinds of electrical gremlins. Sometimes all the instruments will go out and I just pound on the dash and they come back on. Sometimes the windows work etc.
I also had a '78 Cutlass stolen which I found myself and took back. The steering column was ripped out, smelled like Newports but my golf clubs were still in the trunk.
I also had another G-body stolen and stripped in KC but thats all I'll say about that one.
