After 37 years a Los Angeles man may finally get his stolen Mustang back.
Eugene Brakke was recently told by the San Diego Police Department auto theft unit that his 1965 Mustang was found in their city, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
In 1970 Brakke reported it stolen and filed a report with the Burbank Police Department, the newspaper reported.
Police told the newspaper that a San Diego woman was given the Mustang as a high school graduation gift from her father in 1970. When she recently tried to sell it, she learned it was stolen.
But, according to the woman, it is unclear if Brakke wants to car back, because he told her it is “just not the same,” the newspaper reported.

That doesn’t make any sense. Obviously it was already stolen, he made the report, made the claim and possibly even got the check and THEN he found it. Too late, the sled is no longer his. If he found the kid in his shed then who else would have known this was happening?
