Some stolen cars disappear quietly forever. Others eventually resurface stripped for parts, abandoned in a field, or hidden behind garage doors while somebody tries to erase their identity long enough to flip them for cash. That appears to be exactly what investigators uncovered in Arizona after a stolen Nissan GT-R worth an estimated $75,000 was recovered this week in Goodyear.
And according to authorities, somebody allegedly tried to make the car harder to trace by altering the VIN. That is usually where things stop looking like a random theft and start looking much more deliberate.
