The plot thus far: Yes, the supercharger is back. It was not recovered by the police. It was returned to me by the person who took it. a friend of mine (Russ) who is a good mechanic,who had fallen onto hard times (job loss & medical bills). Russ knew that I was offering the Kaiser on Craig's List as a parts car for $500, and that I had not mentioned the supercharger in that ad. He also knew (I didn't) that the S/C alone was worth more than I was asking for the whole car. So he "figured" that he wouldn't be hurting anyone if he "liberated" the S/C (he had a buyer who was willing to pay him $650 for it).
Well, Russ heard me grousing about the dirty rotten thief who had stole my S/C, and his conscience got the better of him. He told me what he had done (and why)... and he put everything back the way he had found it. Now I was faced with a dilemma: I had advertized the car "way too cheap" according to Russ, (and I now knew he could get $650 for the S/C and another $200 from the scrap yard, if nobody wanted to buy the Kaiser (minus S/C) for $500.
I feel I owe Russ "something" for bringing "the ignorance of my Craig's List offer"to light, and I have agreed to give him "half" of whatever I get for the S/C. I would still like to see this vehicle go to a K-F guy (intact), so I am willing to let the car (with S/C) go for $1000. Or I will sell the S/C separately for $650 and the car (minus S/C) for $500. If I sell the whole vehicle for $1000, I will essentially be getting only $500 for the S/C... in which case, Russ will get $250 as a sort of "finders fee". If I sell the S/C separately for $650, he will get $325.
At this point I really don't care which way it goes, I just "need the space".
If anyone here is interested in "just the S/C" I will sell that for $650.
If anyone wants just the car itself (minus S/C), you can have that for $500.
If anyone wants the whole thing, you can have it for $1000...
which is still about $500 less than its true market value (according to Russ), and I will be re-listing on Craig's List for $1500, per his advice..
I am truly sorry for any confusion or disappointment this whole scenario may have caused to anyone.
I should also add that I HAVE NOW FOUND THE TITLE for this vehicle, so it is not necessarily a "parts car" any longer.

Apparently I was a bit too careless in revealing the exact location of this Kaiser, as during the night someone cut the lock on my back gate, and "helped themselves" to the blower (supercharger) from this vehicle.
