Stolen! 1937 Ford Panel Truck- Phoenix, Arizona - UPDATE: RECOVERED!

I recieved a call from the owners confirming the recovery of the vehicle and the arrest of SIX individuals.

 

NICK, MY MAN! I don't know the great Blake family, but you are the BOMB! I just want you on my team!!! Hopefully, these scumbuckets get the striped shirts for a long time and the Blakes have the requisite insurance to redo their awesome panel!

are you giving your pics to the cops?

 

Way to go!!!! And a big round of applause to our HAMB detective NICK FLORES, great work NICk,and congrats to the Blakes for getting their panel back.....Rich

 

Nick Flores-H.A.M.B.er of the month.............

 

Cool and I'll second the motion for Nick Flores as Hamber of the month.


It may be a good idea to post a note on the first post that the truck was recovered and to see page 4 for the details though.

 

I'm just hoping they were still in Maricopa County so Sheriff Joes gets to have his way with these guys.

I posted the pics here and sent them to Dave Blake which is how we confirmed it was their panel. I'm pretty sure the boys in blue need them, but they're more than welcome to them.

 

Thanks guys but I'm happy just knowing I was able to help these folks recover a cherished part of their family history.

 

That 's one jury I would like to be on. You guys, and the hamb are an awesome force.

 

THIS STORY JUST MADE MY FREAKIN' DAY!!!!!! Wow, who woulda thunk this was going to be the outcome, six arrests...Finally, a HAPPY ENDING!

A big ATTABOY to NICK!

 

Way to go Nick!!!

 

Way to go NICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yo, Denise, cookies for Nick????

 

Thanks-- we appreciate that.. already the panel was spotted in Avondale today. Sounds like two illegals tried to register it. Someone on the HAMB snapped a pic of thr truck.. crazy.. the owner is headed towards the border with ammo in hand and to try and head them off at the I-40.. Thanks to everyone for helping on this..

 

Hopefully these piece of craps are thrown in jail for good. Thank you Nick!

 

This is an early THANK YOU to H.A.M.B., Zellerware and his parents, Ma and Pa Zeller, Nick Flores, Avondale Police Department, and all the HAMBers for helping this event end on a Positive note.

Hey Chip! so glad this is over.. justice served! glad everyone helped!

 

Great!
Now chain 'em to the panel truck and drag 'em.

 

Nick- you are the man! I want to meet you someday my friend..Thank you for solving this..- zellerware

 

There are not many of these that end up being found - nice job and great outcome!

 

Nick: that's fricking incredbile! good job!!! was the truck on it's way to mexico?

 

Man-o-man....simply awesome & doesnt get any better!

 

Wow ... fantastic ... so nice to read about a happy ending to one of these "stolen" posts. Heartbreaking to lose something (to scum) that has been in the family that long. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL they got it back. This HAMB thing really works.

 

Man, crazy! It is amazing that the truck was found so fast; someone upstairs was helping Nick I guess.

 

totally awesome! I left work and have been chomping at the bit to get back on here for an update.

Way to go HAMB and way to go Nick!!!!

 

Great story and fantastic outcome!

I vote to put Nick's picture up top next to the HAMB logo for the rest of the year!

Great job!

 

i wonder how many more cars these guys got away with and where was the destination
did they get a temp tag for that truck? was that so it could be transported ?
what was their reason for being at the dmv is there a history that can be looked up to reflect how many time they have been there with a car under construction
there is a bigger fish or operation going on here this isn't their first rodeo they prepped that car quickly some where it kinda looks like its going to a legit shop to be painted none would be the wiser

 

A feel good bump for the night crowd.

 

Except for the damage to the truck,and the unbelievable stress this caused the owners,I love this story.Thanks,Nick for what you did.Too bad this happy ending doesn't happen more often.Hope they get serious jail time,fucking thieves.
