On another board yesterday I found out that some low lifes stole and vandalized the front engine dragster and racecar trailer of John Ewald of the MasterCar fame. What the bastards couldn't steal, they wrecked. So, as we cuise the swaps and look around in the scrapyards we should keep an eye out for this stuff. Here's a link to the We Did It For Love page that lists the missing stuff. http://wediditforlove.com/stolen.html Seeing the pictures of what these turds did to the car and transporter breaks my heart. It was recovered in the Inland Empire of California. I'll bet the aluminum will be sold for scrap. Such a shame that will be the fate of some flat out beautiful hand formed parts. If you see any of this stuff, contact the Ewald Brothers.
Stuff like two driving suits and 2 helmets stolen along with a generator and tools. They pretty much trashed everything to get what they stole. Hope the fuckers get shot buying drugs after scrapping the aluminum.
That is so supremely LAME it makes me shiver! I hate people sometimes!!! I saw a fire suit very similar to that at the Turlock swap meet, but didn't get any names/numbers because it was WAY too expensive for me. Don't want to point any fingers, of course, but it was very similar,and I wish I remembered more about it. Dang....
Folks click on the link and look! It will make you sick........ See I just don't get it,never have. The business (Paint sales/body shops) I'm in I deal with alot of people that lets just say everybody (Cops included!) know what they are doing (chop shops/stolen parts) but kind of look the other way,most even think it funny! When I hear talk about these people lots of times you will hear "yeah he is a great guy blah blah...you see that new _____ of his?" Fuck that! These bastards will rob your ass blind! Think about that people, I bet you know guys that would be the first ones to pop in your head if your shit got gone. Be careful. Sorry for the rant but I feel for this guy,I hope everything works out for him.
Man that just plain SUX but at least he got most of the stuff back. Most of the time if they cant screw it up worse they set it on fire.
Doubt they could be that stupid, but I bet there'll be alot of people watching for that stuff, including me, at the Big 3 in San Diego.
Fucking crackheads I bet. You work your whole life to have something to be proud of then, BANG ! Some fuckheads come along and rip you off. Those scumbags will get it in the end. Its not like they stole a white Honda that no one gives two shits about, they stole stuff that is highly unique. Its like stealing a one off painting that lots of people know about, Yea try selling that shit without getting busted. No doubt about it they will get caught, its a mathematical fact not in their favor. Then comes their day in court. They will have some court appointed attorney who will tell the jury that these poor men are results of a broken home and you cant hold them responsible for their actions. Then they get a chicken-shit sentence, get out early due to the overcrowded jails then, BANG ! It happens again but this time you catch them doing it and blast a hole in their ass. But they live, then sue you for sparing their useless lives. Their attorney sees dollar signs in your assets and tells the jury " My clients have no ass left to sit on" and " they cant shit anymore because this guy decided that he wasnt going to get ripped off again". Wonderful system right?......
that just makes me sick... i hope they catch the bastards that did that....theiving shits should lose both hands so they can't steal again... now that would be justice...leave them all handless.
God, that pisses me off. The fact that they stole it is bad enough, but for them to go out of their way to destroy things just makes me sick. The thought of that beautiful tank being turned into scrap is just foul. The guy should go to some of the scrap yards in his area that deal in aluminum and tell them to keep an eye out. The shitty truth is though, that nothing will probably come of it. Even if the fuckers are caught the owners will probably never see one red cent of restitution. I've had things stolen before [including our dirt bikes when I was about twelve. That one still hurts] so I know how shitty this can feel. "Weird, they removed the Zeus buttons but still mangled the cowl..I need to kill someone..." That's understandable.
I just don't understand people like this. I mean....not only is the guy a legend and you're messing with him but you're taking a classic car and messing with it. I mean..how can you be into cars and do something like that to another mans car. Freakin punks. I hope the cops find their asses and they sell the stuff online for enough money to get charged for a couple felonies. Utter and complete bullcrap. I'll keep my eyes pealed in the bay area. Craigslist is a popular place.
I just eMailed the website to everyone car-related in my address book. It only took a couple of minutes, why don't you do the same. Thanks.
One of the things stolen was 20 gallons of Nitromethane. Don't suppose they'd be stupid enough to put that in their little street rides do ya?
I hate a thief! ,,,,,,,,,,and the idiot(s) are so stupid ,they tried to pull a big engine using an aluminum support rib like it was a steel I-beam. If caught, they should have their teeth kicked out!,,,,by the owner! HRP
