Most car enthusiasts can point to “the one that got away.” These vehicular obsessions can come about many different ways; maybe you were outbid at auction or you found a car just as someone else was buying it. It could even be a car that you actually owned but had to part ways with, leaving you with a deep sense of regret.

Thursday the 13th turned out to be as unlucky as Friday the 13th for the owner of a C2 Corvette in Washington state.
Residents in Pierce County, Washington are being asked to check out their home security camera footage to see if they might spot something that could help solve the theft of a red 1967 Corvette earlier this week.
Pierce County Sheriff’s Department tweeted out an alert for the car, saying that the Sting Ray was stolen by burglars targeting a home on 122nd Avenue East in the Puyallup area about 1:30 p.m. Thursday.

The Corvette’s collector license plate reads 58139.
Lawmen are asking residents in the area of 122nd Street East and Shaw Road East to check out security camera footage between 1 and 2 p.m. Thursday.
Maybe the thieves will “have a heart” and return the Corvette on Valentine’s Day.
