Sébastien Michaud says the loss and recovery of his Honda Prelude has provided several lessons: first, how a like-minded group can band together to achieve a common goal, and second, why it’s better to let frustration dissolve into compassion.

The 42-year-old Moncton resident said that after police told him the car would likely be shipped out of the province, he published a notice on Facebook asking others in the car restoration community if they had seen it.
As first reported by Radio-Canada, the post was widely shared by car lovers; his vehicle was spotted in Charlottetown, then photographed in Amherst, N.S.
Xavier Roy-Lanctot, a Moncton resident who didn’t know Michaud, shared images of the car on various online car groups. Eventually, camera footage of the vehicle — and the driver — was retrieved from the Irving gas station in Aulac, N.B., near the New Brunswick-Nova Scotia boundary.
Images of the driver were circulated online, and Michaud’s car was found abandoned in Amherst on Nov. 1. Local police returned the vehicle to him.
After about $4,600 in repairs, covered by insurance, the Honda is safely back in Michaud’s garage.
