My fellow Jalopnik readers, my friends 1972 Datsun 240z has been stolen in Santa Clarita, California. We're a couple of 17 year olds in love with cars and my heart broke when he told me that he didn't see it when he woke up this morning. It's an orange '72 with a white interior, 5spd out of a 280, original wood steering wheel, lots of rust spots, the car is de-badged, no bumpers, no mirrors and black XXR wheels. We believe that the guys that cleaned his neighbors carpet yesterday may have stolen the car, but we aren't sure. Here are a few pictures from his Instagram:
