    Guessing a kid was fixing up the car and got in trouble or the city gave him grief over a project vehicle.
    Then again it could be related to the owner of the pink thong taking up all the kids time thus he quit working on it.

    I can't conceive of someone scrapping out a car like that! Especially one that isn't rusted out and RUNS! Well it went into good hands! Congrats on a good find like that!!!:)

    they don't know how it got there. his son sold the car and the check bounced...don't know if he got the car back or not.
    strange thing is how did it get to the Macon junkyard...it was from Toccoa Ga. (3 Hrs)

    the car looks like it was stored in a garage...(y)

    ...got the parts at yard sale prices...:yup:

    ...:bouncy:...

    Sounds like you stole that thing. Wait until the police show up at your door and charge you with Grand Theft. LOL. Don't worry, we'll come and visit.(y)

    Bounced check = stolen car. Same thing just happened to a friend of mine. He sold his ATV six months ago and cash was counterfeit. Last week it showed up on craigslist at a pawn shop in Atlnta. He called police and pawn shop and basically they told him to bring proof come and get it. He had filed a police report when it happened.
