So, my 1988 765tic was parked for 7 years in the parking-lot of our church while I was off doing the voodoo that I do in OIF/OEF/OND for Uncle Sam.
Fast foreword to last Saturday, the second day I was back on the road and blew my water pump, and was getting a tow from AAA.
I tell the driver to hook on the tow hooks behind the covers in the front facia, he pops the panels off and tells me "there are no hooks back there."
I crawl under and sure enough my TWO tow hooks are gone! Only clean spots where they were.
I know they were there because I distinctly remember removing them, sand blasting them and painting them with a little bit of POR-15 I had left over from another project. And there is a rather distinct spot where the were...
Now today, I crawl under to do an oil change and go to remove my belly pan (splash guard) is also gone, and recollect that it was not there when I was doing the water pump replacement.
So whoever took them had to be a fellow Volvo owner, as these things are just too specific to be a random theft.
Very odd, and disheartening to think a fellow owner would do such a thing!
