The New York Daily News reports a patient man received his due.   His car was stolen some time ago and recently it was returned to him.   The car, a blue Corvette, was found during a homeland security department review of cars set to be exported.   The car had some modifications made to it since its theft.   It is painted silver, has a red interior, new transmission and engine, but has no gas tank and doesn't run.   But heck, it is being returned to the original owner.   Oh, the car was stolen Jan. 22, 1969, almost 36 years ago!
