Ian Wilson is a 65 year old retired mechanic who had a classic 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air car stolen from him. Now 30 years later the car was found and returned to him in better shape than when it was stolen. The border protection found the car in a California shipping container, ready to be sent to Australia. When the car was returned to Wilson is had tons of updated features and a whole new engine. I think its great that they found the car after all these years and even in better shape than it was. What are your thoughts? Would you be grateful towards the thief?

I defiantly would not be grateful towards the thief because he was not going to give it hack. I would be grateful of the border protection officers who found it.
I want to know how they found it. But I think it's great that it was returned, but did someone buy it in Australia and are they not getting there money back.
He would not be grateful because it was missing for 30 years and they messed with his car.
Lucky for him, he probably forgot about it because it was 30 years ago. Haha.
No. Because He was obviously trying to sell it for the money.
That's pretty neat, I would be mad at the thief because it wouldn't have been returned to him if it wasn't found
I think that the thief stole a junk car to fix and sell for more money. I am glad the man got his car back, and that they found it after 30 years.
I think I would be thankful that my car was stolen, but I would also be mad. It's great that the car came back in better shape, but it sucks that it was stolen in the first place.
I think that it is good that they were able to get the car back to him and that it wasn't in any worse condition. I do think it is sad that it was all updates because Mr. Wilson probably would've liked to work on the car himself and try to keep as many original parts as he could.
