Yankee Dave's Roadster Stolen!!!

Do we have a picture of this car for those of us that don't know what it looks like?

 

look near the ft of the thread.

 

bump for Dave...

 

iwill give the heads up to my buddy who has a rod shop in hatboro
and keep my eyes & ears peeled

 

Good luck Dave!
Hope this all turns out well for you!

 

Will watch for it around here, if it got loaded in trailer it could be anywhere in U.S. in 2 days. Lots of luck Dave.

Are the Police lending any assistance?? They ought to do "something" for you!

 

a bunch of different police forces in the surrounding areas have had the pictures and info passed on to them

 

keeping an eye out around Pittsburgh...if anything suspect turns up in ads or whatever I'll let you know.
good luck Dave.

I trust Dave will not mind the Hot Irons lending a hand to aid in the search for his roadster by way of an added page that can be viewed right from the start page of our website?

I anyone speaks to Dave, let him know its up, and if he would like to add or detract from it, please send us an email (emails can be sent via the website)

I believe I speak for the rest of our guys in wishing him well, as everyone wants to see this taken care of and returned within the rightful owner's hands as soon as can be attained!

....now i must go and work on painting some chassis parts! HA!

 

I'm in Johnstown PA, will keep a sharp eye and ear out around here, and make any of my hotrod buddies within the state aware, and get as many eyes and ears out as possible... I'm hoping SOMEONE out there saw or heard something, and that lose lips will indeed sink ships. This sucks... and to think I leave the keys hanging in mine wherever I go.. I guess that should change.

my girlfriend just sent me this....not much but its in the news

http://www.wgal.com/news/16620090/detail.html

 

Just giving this a pop up.Man,I hope this car is found soon.

 

on another stolen car thread i posted the possiblity of Lobbying to cange the shipping rules for classic or collector cars out of this country ..this to curtail this possiblity of these types of cars being stolen and shipped over seas, any one out there with contacts as to how to go about this?..or is it a waste of time?..no one will worry about it until it happens to them kinda thing?..just wondering.

 

I can't beleive that is all that was said in the paper. If it would have been some yuppies porsche there would have been more on it. This sucks more and more hot rods are being stolen. They need to catch these guys and castrate em.

 

Back up for Dave..
There's either been a new growth in thieves or we are just hearing about it more now for some reason..
This shit's getting way the fuck out of hand!
An example need's to be made when asshole's like this are caught so the next one in line think's twice before making the same move.

 

That's about all you get for news unless there is an old car nut on the staff of the paper. A photo in the paper with a story might jog some minds to remember seeing it being towed down the road.

 

My heart goes out to Yankee Dave. I live about 5 miles away and know the area well. This car is fairly well known and will be hard to hide. My gut feeling is one of the local bozos grabbed it with no idea of its personal value, it was just a cool old car. I may be totally wrong and we all need to keep our eyes and ears open but if this is the case, sooner or later one of the locals will brag about this cool piece they snatched and in two days it's whereabouts will be all over town. Not much stays a secret around here. Just my two cents.

 

Way to many Hot Rods and nice cars disappearing lately sounds like a planned organization in work since they are never found. We need some kind of legislation with laws to govern the resale or shipment of these cars. In the interim I will keep an eye out in my area and pass this on to my club members. If we catch them they are dead, that's the way around here. Good luck recovering those rides, Rags

i just got an e-mail with this flyers in it

 

Two words,...and yes, they DO work if you have good people living around you that aren't lazy!...

Neighborhood Watch!

You just need vigilant people around you that will actually DO something if they see something out of place! The fact is this could have happened to ANY of us, and I'd like to think that ANY of us would help the other out.

 

Hi everyone. After two days helping out Dave, we've come up with some really good leads turn up. Nothing I can speak of openly. I really feel like we're tightening the noose up. Details to follow.

From today's Republican Herald:

Thanks to all the folks who are helping.

bump for the morning crowd to see the flyer

 

Good news,i hope its found soon.Will keep a eye out on the sand bar called long island.

 

When you find the car I hope you kill the guy that stole it.

Looks like this was mentioned yesterday on a radio station (or maybe just on their website).
