UPDATE:
Good news! i found my front seats! i was checking out a possible suspect yesterday when i drove by it looked like he was working on his interior, once he opened his garage door i seen the drivers seat with the bad clip on the airbag, i knew it was mine!
needless to say after about 30 minutes, me and all my friends swarmed this dudes house...he had to think we were a swat team or something....lol, he was very scared!
he was not the guy who did it, he bought the seats from him....i didn't call the police on this guy, i just took the seats (and dash bezel) and left because he will testify about the guy who did it...
im so close to the console...i can smell it!

Did the guy know they were stolen? If not, I find it curious that he let you leave without calling the cops. If someone came to my house and said something I bought was stolen, and tried to take it back, I would have called the cops and had them sort it out before I let them take the items. He could be the guy who actually stole them and is just hoping you will take them and he will get away with it. Just something to think about.

Update: well, i think things may be working out for me (finally), i just spoke to the insurance adjuster, he has had the hardest time in the world trying to find replacement parts for the Monte...he decided to give me just under what it would take to total the car...$6200 is what insurance said the car is worth (80% of value)...he cut me a check for $5995.98 -$100 deductible!
if i cant get the car fixed with that...i need to give up!
im still not giving up on the douche bags that stole it in the first place... i got a solid lead today, i will be checking the car out this weekend, im hoping its my stuff..if it is, that's a double bonus!
im still selling the car, i will replace the interior...im not fixing the ball joints (which aren't bad yet, the boot is dried out and slightly cracking)/struts or paint...what do you all think is a fair price to ask? 5k-6k?
engine has 77k on it
trans has 17k on it
upper/lower intake gaskets changed
BCM will be replaced (that's why she wont start right now)
k&n CAI
she still has the vacuum leak...i cant find it for the life of me...maybe the shop will be able to tell me more when they fix the BCM..

WOW!!! I missed this whole thread until right now and this is seriously one of the biggest f**karoos ever - crazy epic story!!! I'm enthralled! This could be a mini-movie. Lots of twists and turns. And you know what - I'm thinking Matt is onto something if dude just handed the seats over. Something seems off there, but I'd have to be there to know more. The whole thing is crazy nutty suspicious. I'm even suspicious of you! Is it possible you have multiple personalities like Norton/Pitt in Fight Club? I can't wait to read some additional updates to see how this turns out. I suspect a few more twists and turns once the law gets involved...
Keep us updated!!!

we called the police, and with this dudes assistance are working on getting the culprit caught red handed (helps that a few of the officers were in the same unit as myself or others in my "squad"). i feel very confident i can get the console back...
the crappy part is giving the insurance company the money back lol... all i want to do is sell this car, i feel like it has some sorta curse on it now...
i want to thank you all for the support, it was much appreciated!
