Thief adds bling to stolen ride
`Seven weeks after his car was stolen, Terry Dresdow got a call from police saying it had been found.
Oh-oh, this usually isn’t good. What tree is it wrapped around? How many pieces is it in? Where did you say that chop shop was again?
Not this time. Terry’s ride had been pimped, as they say on TV. [..]
The new “owner” had coated the blue 1989 Chevrolet Caprice Classic in white paint, installed one of those killer stereos that fill the trunk with woofers and power boosters, and added shiny, spoked wheels and wide, low-profile tires.
“I also have keyless entry that I didn’t have before, for the door and also the trunk,” Terry said.
There’s no indication that the new accessories were stolen, so they are his to keep.’
