They said they were glad to hear from me because they found the car a month ago, but because I had moved they had no way to get ahold of me. So I took a bus and hitched a ride out to Groton Massachusetts where I found it sitting at a gas station. Funny thing was, it was also full of camping equipment, that wasn't there when it got stolen. Everything was in the car my tools, nick-nacks, the only thing that was damaged was the trunk lock and the ignition. I guess they would just turn the battery off to stop it, then turn it on to start it up.<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Fri, Oct 14, 2022, 12:02 PM Christopher Moog via Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>What is this a running theme. I purchased a BJ7 in the mid 1990s. Started restoring. Moved several times. When I retrieved it from a rental garage (four years ago after having stored it five years) the interior had been stolen. It was in separate boxes waiting for me to finish the body. So now I have no seats, carpets, door cards or interior trim. It was all leather and worth several grand. That took the steam out of me finishing the car. <br><br>I'm retiring this spring so I hope to put the time (and money) into get it done. Well see if this happens or if I too end up selling and enjoying a different car. Though I could give it to a 20 something nephew has the skill to finish it. He is not yet shown interest in something like that, he's more into mid-80s pick-up trucks. But tastes change.<br><br>Good luck with the paring down of projects. Life gets shorter and we all have to decide what we want to spend our time doing. Driving a Bugeye is a lot more fun to most people than restoring a car.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 10/14/2022 9:10 AM, Jim Ryan wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal>Sorry, fat fingered that last email. <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>What I was going to say was how similar your story is to mine. I bought a BJ 7 in 1974, never really fully restored it as I wanted to, and neither of my son's wanted it. So I ended up selling it for what I could get about four years ago and picked up a little Bugeye driver.
