    I am not really familiar with Deleon Springs, but the internet says the population is only about 2,700 people, so it is a very small community. In most small towns everyone knows everyone else, and that might help him to hear something about who might have done this.........neighbors in small towns tend to look out for one another.

    Someone had to see something.

    I will keep my eyes open on the west coast of Florida.

    On Friday nights I attend a show and I will let the guys know and show them the picture of the car.

    Hope they catch who ever took the car.

    I found this to be VERY interesting: Microdots

    Every car has a unique serial number called the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN is only on the car in a few places. If your car is taken to a chop shop almost none of the individual pieces of your car can be identified. But if you attach miniature security tags to your car the thieves can be caught with stolen merchandise.
    When you order microdots you receive hundreds of dots in an adhesive. You use a brush applicator to dab a tiny amount of the glue (a fluorescent adhesive, visible under a blacklight) onto a variety of locations on your personal property. Each dab contains 3-5 microdots. You can tag your windows, hubcaps, tire rims, speakers, stereo, shock absorbers and so on. In some states you can receive a discount on your car insurance for using these dots.
    The microdots are hard to find as they are about the size off a typographical dot.
    The manufacturing of these tags is accomplished using advanced UV laser technology. The laser burns a mark onto the surface which can be read by a jeweler's loupe or by a 30x magnifying glass.

    I am tight with all my neighbors, they didn't see or hear anything. That tells me it was pushed out and put on a trailer. That car is loud as hell with open pipes. My shop is all metal so they unscrewed the screws and crawled in, unlocked the roll up door and took the only car I ever loved.

    Hot Turkey, that really sucks!! I live in a tiny town too, and I know how rare it is to have something stolen. But it does happen and sometimes to the best people at that. RATS!

    I hate seeing this kind of stuff. I hope and pray that the car is found intact and the a-holes that took it are caught.

    Will keep an eye open in North MS. There arent that many nice cars like that around this part of the state.
    Tie em to the car and drag em.

    Exactly!
    Who would know that?; neighbors, co workers, anyone who works in the area; postal carrier (UPS, Fedex,etc.), sanitation workers, newspaper delivery, city/street workers, utility workers (electric, cable, phone,etc).
    In that small of a town, I'd guess the thieves were from outside the area and possibly cased the car-followed you home from a show, etc.
    Have you had the car at a show recently where somebody showed "too much" interest in the car or came back several times to look at it?
