Ugh, I can't even begin to imagine how crappy that has to feel. Sorry about ever having to go through such a miserable situation. Are you going to fill the void with any other toys or did that kind of kill the bug for you for a bit?

How is this car not going to appear on the internets at some point? The only owners who will buy a stolen car, not clean title, will be in central Asian/Russian/African countries?? And that stuff always gets posted. In today's social media world, this seems like an inevitable

I think its a given that Kobalt's dearly departed GT2 RS will at some point reemerge in some dodgy law breaking corrupt country, albeit in a different color to mask its origins..Very sad state of affairs especially in these days of supposedly cast iron GPS tracking systems and social media gossip..

Today I recieved news that the Belgian police found the car - it was prepared for export (to where is unknown at the moment) but was a bit damaged after the policed chased the car.

The car will be returned to Sweden and is now the insurance company's property.

Wow. The end to the story. Thanks for keeping us all updated. Again sorry that happened to you. Glad the insurance company stepped up though.

I believe they catched the guys in the car - not sure if they are the "bad guys" or the "bad bad guys" or whatever. I guess there are more people involved than these two guys.
