[Brock Samson]

Say a friend of yours knew about a really rare car that was in a boarded up garage with a mess of other really rare cars,..
and he, had been going by periodicly (for years) and knocking on the door/s but there was never any answer,.. and all the windows were covered in newspapers...
  What would ya' advise your friend?..

Maybe the guy is dead and he wouldn't mind if you just "commandeered" one
whats the statute of limitations on grand theft auto?

First, buy a Kevlar vest and a helmet with face shield and then go the the property and park you car at least 1/4 mile away. As you walk up to the house be sure to locate a spot that provides good cover. Go up to the front door and knock really hard on it until, A. Your arm gets tired or, B. Someone answers with either a gunshot, a bloodcurdling banshee scream or flings open the door and starts chasing you with a machete, axe or scythe. If option B:1 occurs, quickly run to the predetermined place of cover and shout, "I just want to buy a car!" between rounds. If B:2 occurs, quickly run to the predetermined place of cover and shout, "I just want to buy a car!" between the god-awful screaming. If B:3 occurs (your best option) it will distract the psychotic homeowner long enough for your buddy to look inside the garage and get an idea if what is inside is worth dying for. If it's not worth dying for you can both run away; if it is worth dying for your buddy can relay that message to you while you're dodging attacks by the owner and you can start making cash offers between screams as he tries slashing your face or sticking the scythe in your back. You might try running around the yard with about $2k in cash or gold in your hands so he can see that you're serious about buying. Don't mention the government, Vietnam or WalMart during the attack and don't make eye contact with him for more than four seconds at a time. Good luck.

I would advise my friend not to break the law and leave the stuff where it is.  A car just is not worth dying for (even if it is a hemi Daytona).....

[rt green]

first, find out how your"friend" knows about the cars in the first place. if not, stake out the place. see if any one goes in and out. they got to get food some time.  follow them, see where they go. then make a plan to run into them some how.

i think i'm gonna try and write a letter and offer to take the owner to the jimmy's show next week in my mopar...
  Perhaps he won't be interested but I think that should he read an honest offer of intrest from a fellow (car) nut...
he wont be (as) paranoid, perhaps he'll even remember me since he took me aside to see his collection in the mid '80s when the Skunk was still rusty and smoked badly... he walked up to me as i was getting outta my R/T and invited me to his home a few steps away...
i have a pic of my car from that time i'll include which  may help him to remember me and our visit..
i know that i don't allways remember a name or faces but i allways remember specific cars.
the other thing is to have cash in hand... cause as we all know..
  B.S. waits for the bus...

any other suggestions would be appreciated...
thanks for those so far..

and what cars are we talking about that are rare and sitting here brock?

[Brock Samson]

guess... 

[73dodge]

Write a note saying you want to talk about buying one of his cars tack the note to his front door with a $20 bill. That'll make him think you are serious and call you.

or

He'll just keep your 20 and not contact you and you'll be out 20 bucks

[Ghoste]

Undiscovered Hemi Cuda convertibles and missing link 70 Daytonas?
Is your friend certain that someone lives at the property and that it isn't just being used for storage?

[Brock Samson]

see above

Plan A:
Get some superglue.
Glue his doors and windows shut.
Go get the car.

Plan B:
Call an exterminator/health department/Child Molester Hotline, and report the guy.
Get the car.

Plan C:
Watch movie "Christine"
Emulate Arnie Cuntingham
Get the car.

Plan D
Pretend to be television announcer and stand outside his front door
Have your girlfriend hold an oversized novelty cheque for one million dollars
When he comes out of the house, hit him in the head with the cheque
Get the car
