Got a call Friday night. They found it in a vacant lot in Lacey, about 30 miles away. Of course the owner of the property insisted on impound so it cost me $250 to get it out. The jerk totally broke the key lock so I couldn't drive it home and cost another $150 to tow it. What an idiot! The keys were under the seat, but they are not there now. I already changed the lock and got it running, all I have to do is get the locking gas cap off.
The best part... I found a pawn slip on the floor for a shop about three blocks from where it was taken, with the same date as the day taken, with his name, address, drivers license, phone. The address is less than a mile from where the car was found. Sad part is neither the Puyallup nor Lacey police have much interest in pursuing it. Something about anyone could have dropped the slip in the car at any time.
I think I'll make the drive and if I can catch him yell "Hey, A......, does this car look familiar?
Thanks for all your help and concern.
