    I think if the OP returned it would be like parents coming home after a huge party the night before.

    Bdelp - can you not see that he's talking largely about how things have been said versus what was said or are you just spinning his words? I mean, obviously any sane person is going to react to what the eye witness revealed. The difference is in how it's relayed to a fellow member of fchat. i.e.:

    "Tony your timeline is not really making sense in light of what eyewitness says. Can you clear this up?"

    versus...

    "Eyewitness has just put a hole so big in your story Tony you could drive the titanic through"

    Come on now...

    here below a copy of what is written in a Italian motor site :




    "Ferrari: quando il furto sa di truffa...
    Negli USA una Ferrari 348 era stata rubata e poi ritrovata anche se completamente distrutta. E se fosse una truffa ai danni dell'assicurazione.


    Ferrari 348 »


    Agatha Christie non guidava una Ferrari eppure non avrebbe saputo fare di meglio. È un vero giallo quello nato sul forum FerrariChat, dedicato ai ferraristi americani, intorno al furto di una Ferrari 348. L'auto era stata rubata ma un post sul forum e un utente eroico avevano permesso il ritrovamento, anche se la vettura era stata distrutta. Poi il colpo di scena: forse, quell'auto, non era mai stata rubata veramente.


    Andiamo con ordine e cerchiamo di riannodare i fili di questa strana storia. Un utente del forum FerrariChat, 348Tony, posta la sua richiesta di aiuto: gli hanno rubato la Ferrari 348 proprio sotto il naso, mentre era parcheggiata nel garage di casa, e lui non si è accorto di nulla, nemmeno del rombo del motore. Primo dettaglio sospetto, visto che una Ferrari non passa certo inosservata.

    Passa del tempo e un altro utente compie il miracolo tanto atteso: si collega al forum e annuncia trionfante che ha visto la Ferrari 348 in questione. E' parcheggiata vicino al suo posto di lavoro dal giorno stesso del furto, avvenuto di sabato pomeriggio. Ma l'auto è completamente distrutta e la polizia ha già attaccato gli adesivi per segnalarne la rimozione.


    Però il "giallo" non sarebbe tale, senza un colpo di scena finale. Alcuni utenti del forum, infatti, ipotizzano che il furto fosse soltanto una truffa orgnizzata ai danni dell'assicurazione. Le prove? Un ladro non distruggerebbe la macchina e poi proprio quella Ferrari 348, una settimana prima, era stata fotografata sotto una forte nevicata, che di certo qualche danno l'aveva causato. I responsabili? Proprio il proprietario della Ferrari e l'utente che l'aveva ritrovata.

    Il forum ora è spaccato tra innocentisti e colpevolisti. L'unico sfortunato è proprio Tony: la sua auto è stata distrutta comunque e ora si trova contro anche l'indice puntato dei ferraristi americani."

    Quick free translation on line was fun...here are my two favorite parts:

    "But the car completely is destroyed and the police has already attached the adhesive to signal it the removal."

    "The forum now is split between upholders of the innocence of the accused and people who believes the accused is guilty."

    "Ferrari knows when the theft scam ...
    In the U.S., a Ferrari 348 was stolen and found again, even if completely destroyed. And if it was a fraud against insurance.


    Ferrari 348 '


    Agatha Christie did not drive a Ferrari but he could not have done better. It is a true yellow that is born on FerrariChat forum dedicated to Ferrari Americans around the theft of a Ferrari 348. The car had been stolen but a post on the forum and someone had enabled the discovery heroic, even if the car had been destroyed. Then the twist: perhaps, that car had never really been stolen.


    First things first and try to pick up the threads of this strange story. A forum user FerrariChat, 348Tony, mail your request for help: the Ferrari 348 was stolen right under our noses, while it was parked in the garage at home, and he did not notice anything, not even the roar of the engine. First detail suspected, as a Ferrari does not go unnoticed.

    Spend some time and someone else takes the long-awaited miracle: Connects to the forum and announced triumphantly that saw the Ferrari 348 in question. E 'parked close to his job from the day of the theft, which occurred on Saturday afternoon. But the car is completely destroyed and the police have already attached stickers to mark its removal.


    But the "yellow" would not be such without a final twist. Some users of the forum, in fact, suggest that the theft was just a scam ORGANIZATION damage insurance. The evidence? A thief does not destroy the car and then just the Ferrari 348, a week before, had been photographed under a heavy snow, which certainly had caused some damage. The culprits? Just the owner of the Ferrari and the user had found.

    The forum is now split between innocent and guilty. The only unfortunate Tony is right: his car was destroyed, however, and now is also against the index finger of Ferrari Americans. "

    I'd have thought that to be common knowledge.
    Perhaps we need some sort of warning to new subscribers. Part of their "Welcome To F-Chat" package ;)

    Searching his posts he asked about a front control arm (for a 355) two years ago.....

    I think there's a Walmart nearby, 15 cameras on that would be no surprise at all.....
