Either way it will be a while before I have a whole bug again I don't have the time or money to run out and buy another one or rebuild the one I have.

Thanks for all the nice posts. I really appreciate it and when it doesn't hurt so much I'll be back to check out everyone else's Beetles.
That just flat out SUX! I'm sorry that it had to happen to you! If the tables were turned and that was my car....I doubt I would have the restraint that you are exhibiting. Nope! I'd be in jail and someone would "maybe" wash up on the bank of some river somewhere wrapped in a tarp with what was left of my car crammed in every orifice! They wouldn't need CSI either because I would carve my name and address in his forehead! Whoa!! Damn, I was living vicariously through you for a second and couldn't control my rage!
But seriously I feel like crap because this has happened to you! I know this car meant a lot to you. But PLEASE don't give up all together! Keep the shell. Northeastern rust-free VW parts are hard to find! Start over with a fresh pan and drive train. It doesn't have to be done over night. You can take your time and build a kick-butt GL looker with the changes YOU want to make. But I think I would invest in a LOJAC or some other fancy schmancy theft deterrent system. Now I'm not one to condone violence...OK excessive violence.....Well, when it comes to my car the gloves are off! You need one of these!!! Click on the link!
HOT car theft deterrent!
