I dunno if this is anyone on here or not (or one of the other sites, or anyone knows them) but I saw this and figured I'd post it. (EDIT: Also posted on GBF's Facebook page)

Original Article: Family Says Stolen El Camino Is Stolen Dream

DETROIT -- A family said their 1985 Chevrolet El Camino was stolen Sunday from in front of their Detroit home.

Cynthia Stewart said her 97-year-old mother, Livonia "Honey" Bramlette, gets no greater joy than from watching Elvis and her grandson, Jason Vereen, work on his El Camino.

"Everyday she watches that car," Stewart said. "She talks about Elvis and her car, Jason and her car."

Vereen, Stewart's son, said he promised his grandmother that this year he would take her to the Woodward Dream Cruise in his classic El Camino.

"It's more than just a car," Vereen said. "It's more than just a bunch of parts. It's more than just something to ride around in. It had a sentimental value."

Vereen said it meant the world to him to be able to take her to the Dream Cruise.

"She's 97, and a lot of people don't make it to that age," Vereen said. "To be able to take her and just ride down Woodward and look at all the cars -- cars from her era that she might remember."

Stewart said the car was at the center of a tremendous relationship between her son and her mother.

"Please bring the car back," Bramlette said.

Anyone with information on the missing silver El Camino is asked to call the Detroit Police Department at 313-456-6600.

it's disgusting that people steal and to steal something that cannot be replaced is worse... :|

so sad that people steal, most of them if not all of them probably don't even think or care about the damage they do, and the people the hurt when they steal. And it is all just so they can benefit from it.
