The car was found in an unincorporated area of Orange County about 10 miles away from where it was stolen along with two guitars and an amplifier that have not yet been recovered.
Armstrong on Sunday had posted a video urging the thieves to return the car and even offered to bail them out if they got caught.
"To the people that stole it, the one thing is, like, I don’t want anyone to go to jail. That sucks, you know," he said. "Just drop it off. Or, you know, and if you do get caught, I’ll bail you out. I just want my car back."
