Stolen Mustang Returned to Owner -- 23 Years Later
A North Carolina man is once again driving his 1966 Mustang, after an eBay auction revealed the car had been stolen and police returned it to its rightful owner.
Mike Thompson thought the call from the Winston-Salem Police Department was a nasty joke. When an eBay buyer tried to get a clear title for the $22,500 vehicle, the numbers came back hot and the cops traced the car back to Thompson.
State Farm insurance earned some postive publicity points in the situation, asking only that Thompson repay the $4,000 claim they paid out to him when the car was orginally boosted.
