My peepers in atlanta, ga are open...I've only seen one cruiser here with a snork...and none with an oil smasher.

I am with Landtank though...I have a hard enough time starting diesels when I have the keys. I would bet that someone had a flatbed. If the door was unlocked, they hopped in it and pushed the shift lock to get it into neutral...drug it up the ramp.

That would lead me to believe that someone in this dudes shop KNEW it was there, KNEW it was unsecure and (here is my Law and Order version) tipped off the guy that took it to settle a gambling bet or some such...

Man...I hate not being able to trust shops security these days!!!!

To the OP and his buddy, very sorry for your loss. That's one tough cruiser to replace and I would be seeking replacement and damages from the shops insurance company. Anything you have had to do outside the norm is a "Pain and suffering" in my book to include rental cars, friends driving you places, and the time spent trying to get it back. Be sure to have all the modifications costs, import costs, and the like ready.
