Just read all 27 pages. Pure internet gold!

Synopsis for those not willing to read all the pages.

Guy posts on forum stating that his car had been stolen. Gave car info. A little later, another poster claims he saw the car and took pictures of the guy who stole it. the make some photoshops of his face (the guy is missing 2 fingers). A little later another guy posts stating he had seen the car and knew where the house was. The owner and the guy who found the house go to check it out but the car isnt there. They go back tomorrow, one of the guy barracades the car in and the police come and arrest the guy. They take pictures of it and are currently uploading the video to youtube. (More or less)

Hopefully not a repost. Taken from another forum.

Summary:

A guy in Canada is selling his 1991 Nissan Skyline, when some dude shows up and asks to take it for a test drive, leaving his drivers licence as insurance. He doesn't come back, clearly stealing the car, and the police check the licence and it's fake.

Guy is obviously bummed out, and posts on a car forum with some pictures of the car, asking people to keep an eye out for it.

Incredibly, someone spots the car at a local mall, chases after them and takes a photo of the thief!

As more people join the witchhunt, someone finds him and follows him back to his house where he parks the car and goes inside. They upload the location to google maps:

copy & paste http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=800+Raynard+Crescent+Se+Calgary&sll=49.891235,

From his home address, they manage to track down his facebook profile! From that they get his real name and work location.

Several of the forum members drive to the guy's house at 2:30am and eventually manage to box the car in, calling the cops who come and arrest him. Full footage is filmed of his arrest and uploaded to Youtube:

The rightful owner picks his car up, checks inside and finds 22 dollars and the guys wigger hat, which he promptly puts up for sale on Ebay!
