THE MISSING LINK Former cop, Cougar reunited Thanks to the Internet, a Florida man will get his car back -- 20 years after someone stole it from outside his Bronx home. The man, a former NYPD detective, had given up the ghost -- or in this case, the 1968 Mercury Cougar -- years ago. But thanks to an Internet community of Cougar collectors, one of whom was doing some research on a Cougar he saw for sale in a New York newspaper, man and machine will be reunited. Another man will be united with charges of possession of stolen property. FREE TIPS FROM SEARCHDOMINO.COM! Enter your e-mail and start receiving SearchDomino.com Developer Tips.
