1966 Ford GT Mustang Stolen in Darien: PD

DARIEN, CT—A thief or thieves went through a lot of trouble to steal a red convertable 1966 Ford GT Mustang, according to police.

The Mustang was parked in a driveway in front of a Toyota Camry the night of Oct. 13. The Mustang was seldom driven and only taken out for special occasions.

The thief or thieves appeared to force entry to the Camry, pried the lock out of the door and tampered with the steering column so the vehicle could be moved to the front yard. That allowed the thief or thieves to gain access to the Mustang and take it.

The owner said he is the only one with access to the Mustang's keys. He didn't report hearing anything nor did neighbors.

The Mustang is worth about $25,000.
