I'd Still Want It Back

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 the car back, because he told her it is "just not the same," the newspaper reported.

If it were me, I would still want the car back. Clearly the woman in possession doesn't want it anymore because she was trying to sell it. If the original owner doesn't want it, he could take it back and sell it...

This also begs the question---did her father steal the car and give it to her for graduation? You'll notice it said that the car was reported stolen and she received it as a gift in the same year.
