Reunited and it feels so good: A man from Missouri didn’t think he would ever see his red 1969 Chevy Camaro again when it was stolen, but after coming across the car for sale online just recently, he and his beloved car have been reunited — a whole 16 years later.
The car’s owner, Edward Neeley, saw the car listed for sale and then called the authorities to report that it was his. The police found it — all the way in Utah. According to the police, the person selling the car online had bought the car from someone previously, most likely whoever stole the car from Neeley 16 years ago.
My take: Though it might seem ridiculous that Neeley was able to come across his car by chance on the Internet after 16 years of searching, it’s heartwarming to see a happy ending for someone after they had lost something they never thought they lost and loved but never thought they would be able to find. Kudos to the police that helped Neeley recover his lost car, and let him and the Chevy be happily reunited.
