The shop that was working on my rig folded up and everyones vehicles that were there to be worked on are gone. Owner of shop can't be found, phone number disconnected.

It was my Green77 early Ford bronco. It my have been towed to a yard or left out on the streets somewhere to get AV'd like those trucks he left out in front of his shop..
I'm in the process of filing a police report and calling all the tow companys in hopes to find out who helped in moving the vehicles.
The Bronco may be gray primer now as it was almost ready to paint, distinct feature are the gas filler doors as these were only made on 77 Broncos.

Here is a couple of pictures.

Mad, Unbelievable is all I can say. Thats the '77 we rode around in a few years ago when I was there, so I have a few fond memory of it. I sure hope you find it. What kind of jack-asses close up shop and take peoples stuff? Pisses me off. Good luck

That Bronco has been so much a part of your life, and ours too here who have watched your children grow with that rig, your fishing trips, your life as we have known you, I just can't believe it, this is terrible.

I so much hope for a speedy return and justice for whoever would do such a thing.

That sucks,Mad. Why would anyone steal a truck on an island. It seems like it would be too easy for the police to find.
Good luck, I hope you find it before someone does something to it.

If yours isn't the only vehicle missing, at least you will have others helping you search. Really hope you find it.

Mad, I am beside myself on this one!! someone stole Madgyvers Bronco?? The ladies are devastated!! Go get em Mad. Hanging is too good for them, the long walk off a short pier into the shark pool is the justice they deserve
Hope you get it back Buds that machine is part of Madgyver stories and this board.

That's horrible, that Bronco, Mad, & fishing just go together. I sure hope you find it. Any idea how long the shop has been closed?

That sucks Mad. Fly me out there, I'll search every watering hole on the island till I find it. Shouldn't take me more than 6 months or so.
Seriously, best of luck.

I did some mad scrambling this afternoon with title in hand and I found it!
Well, kinda..
I did find the owner of the shop. I did some detective work using business listings and I found out where he lived. I took the firebronco and drove to his place to find out what the deal is.
To make a long story short, The Green77 is safe. It still needs to be finished but it is intact. The shop owner is in the process of relocating his business because the rent went up. His Iphone broke which had my number. I got his new number and I know where he lives.
I gave him a chance to explain before I filed a stolen vehicle report with the local police department. I kept my cool...
Thank you my freinds for your support..
