How lucky can one guy be? When he bought his 1989 Caprice Classic in 2004 for $1,200, Terry Dresdow just wanted a reliable vehicle to drive to work. So when it was stolen, he hadn't really lost a lot, comparatively speaking. Seven weeks later, he got a call from the police, stating they had found his car. He figures, well, it's probably in a million pieces by now. Not quite.

The new "owner" had coated the blue 1989 Chevrolet Caprice Classic in white paint, installed one of those killer stereos that fill the trunk with woofers and power boosters, and added shiny, spoked wheels and wide, low-profile tires.

"I also have keyless entry that I didn't have before, for the door and also the trunk," Terry said.

There's no indication that the new accessories were stolen, so they are his to keep.

Mr. Dresdow is not keeping the car, however. Now that it's been "pimped", he's gonna sell it as quickly as possible, before it gets stolen again. I can't say I blame him, really.
