This story started on a local car forum and has since gone global. Since the original thread has 60+ pages here's a brief run down:
Quoted from the original thread on beyond.ca (http://forums.beyond.ca/st/212943/1991-skyline-gt-r-stolen-calgary-ab-cash-rewardpics-of-criminals-inside/)
-New member regretfully posts that his car has been stolen by someone with a fake ID that took a permanent test drive. Describes vehicle and thief.
-Thief encounters another forum member at Chinook mall, member recognizes stolen vehicle as described in this post. Snaps pictures, posts on beyond. Even in a city of 1 million people, thief is spotted within hours due to internet exposure
-Thief is found on facebook using said pictures, recognized by multiple members
-Full name, address, and workplace is found via facebook
-Multiple forum members drive to known address at 2:30am, car is parked outside. Dude peeks out the window, sees posse, gets scared.
-Car disappears at some point.
-Another member drives by later, finds car. Boxes car in, calls cops, calls rightful owner
-Hilarity ensues
-Cops show up 2 hours later, pictures and youtube video posted of stolen car, and Dr. Claw the fail car thief getting arrested
-Car is now safe at home, back up for sale, with a new test drive policy. Bonus: Thief leaves $22 in change, and a shitty wanksta hat.

Saw them at chinook they were following me .. then i told my gf that car is a stolen car so she looked.... They noticed and booked it back into chinook so i knew it was them , i did a u turn and chased them ... then they went down glenmore towards ogden(i think its ogden that way) , but then quickly turned onto south bound deerfoot and gunned it like no tommorow , but i have a kid and gf in the car so i stopped chaseing , but i called 911 , got them the details , told them where they were going .. soooo....
Damnit , I wish I was in my Supra without Gf and kid..... They are also lucky they gunned it when i was getting outa my car , would have shit kicked the cocky mofo....
Anyways they said the car wasnt stolen lol
