    Sorry to hear about this. Any photos or serial number ? How about distinguishing characteristics like mods or damage that could help identify it?

    Andy,

    I am sorry to hear about this. The 355 Challenge community (which I was once a proud part of) is a pretty small group across both the east and west coast. I highly doubt the car would ever show up in the US or be parted out here as the thief would be revealed pretty quickly.

    Hopefully I am wrong and you will get the car back.

    Please keep us posted !

    Regards,

    Jon

    Wow thats right up the street from me.

    Keep your eyes on eBay. They aren't going to be able to sell it (too small a market, so easy to find the thief) and if they try to part it, you will likely find that out. Unless it was pros who intend to ship it outta the country.

    Who knew it was there? Any suspects? I was in Plaistow all day today - small world.

    Good luck Andy. I saw your car at NHIS this spring when One Lap was there.

    I hope you find your car in perfect shape and nail the a-holes that took it. Best of luck

    UPDATE: WBZ Channel 4 news in Boston ran a piece on the stolen 355 Challenge tonight, at the beginning of the 11 pm newscast (must have been a *really* slow news day). PLEASE do keep your eyes open - you never know where or when it might turn up!

    Click on the video, and it'll play as a Macromedia .flv file....

    If you want a 26 meg download of it as a mpg4 file:

    They interviewed Natalia from Ferrari Maserati of New England, and some giant blowhard added some theories about what might have happened to the car. Still, they have a bit of a 430 being started up and sounding cool. The hope is that getting more publicity on this topic will inspire the thief to realize that this car is too hot to do anything with it, and instead just wipe it down and leave it in a parking lot.

    And it made the Boston Globe today too, with a link to FChat even!

    vty,

    "a tracker"??????

    Be real, it didn't even have a MUFFLER!!!!

    I'm afraid it has already been tucked into a shipping container overseas, or chopped to bits in lower Queens somewhere......

    File the insurance paperwork, I'm afraid.......I hope I'm wrong as it was beautiful. But there's criminals out there that don't care about that point.......

    Sorry to hear...but man quite the exposure, however it's probably already on the docks:(

    Any reason they left it outside?
