Stolen Car Returned After 25 years
Mustang 28 years after it was stolen, she dicribed the car's return by
saying it's "like winning the lottery." Read more from UPI:
Lynda Alsip of Hollister said the car was stolen from her apartment
complex in Salinas when she went out of town for a week with some
friends in 1986 and that was the last she ever saw of the vehicle
until Monday, when it was presented to her by the California Highway
Patrol.
"I never thought I would see it again,"Alsip told the Monterey Herald.
"It's like winning the lottery. It happens to very few people and for
it to happen to me, it's just an amazing feeling."
The California Highway Patrol said the car was found in the possession
of a Salinas man who had attempted to have it registered. The man told
police he purchased it as a project car in 1991 and only just got
around to having it registered.
Police said they are still looking into whether the man knew the
vehicle was stolen.
Alsip, who paid $800 for the car in 1986, said she'll be keeping the
car locked in her garage from now on whenever she isn't driving it.
