Roadster stolen at Pomona

I wasn't suggesting that Homeland Security would administer this nor give a hoot about stolen cars. I'm suggesting that as these technologies becomes more common and available to state and local forces that using this increasingly common technology to help identify criminals, stolen cars etc in locations that already have traffic cameras shouldn't be a stretch. They're already using the newer hi-def traffic cameras for facial-recognition purposes and already using traffic cameras and on-dash cameras to read your tags and tabs from a distance, so what I'm suggesting is well within the scope of what is possible today if only our disparate police forces were given the tools to make it easier for local forces to identify stolen vehicles. Combine common technology A with common technology B and recover more stolen cars. It shouldn't be that hard-it's only a matter of effort and connecting the dots.
As someone who spent many years working in defense, made many technical presentations at high levels at the Pentagon and FBI Engineering, I can assure you that especially in MD, VA and DC, the police have technology available to them that would amaze you.

 

So, guilty until proven innocent?

It's a an indication of how bad the "justice" system is when you get pulled over to make sure you're -not- carrying a stolen vehicle.

I don't see why I should get hassled because the legal system doesn't punish theives.

Man I check this every day looking for a good outcome. I hope it is found

 

They don't need a warrant, but they do need probable cause...

Snowbird eyes open here in Arizona, hope you get it back !!

 

Damn..that is messed up. Seems like every week we get the same story...

 

here's some video of the car at GNRS....

I dont know what good I can do, but I'll keep my eyes out here in Texas-Houston area for ya!!! Mikey

 

10-4 on the booby traps. how about some c-4 under the driver seat. dont know where the arming switch is! SEE YA!!!!

 

So true. No reason to infringe on our rights.
They already catch the same people over and over and just let them out over and over. Just throw away the key and be done with it. Bunch of barbed wire in the desert with tarps to group huddle under at night.

That also goes for anyone breaking the law by being here illegally.

 

going to a swap meet this weekend we will keep our eyes out looking for anything on this side of the country

 

there is a good chance the car is within a mile of where it was taken.

 

Do you have some information? Call the police! Let Chick know! His contact info is in the first post here!

 

He may be going on the theory that the car was moved a short distance and stashed in a building.

With the number of guys who were probably out running around at all hours and no one remembering seeing the car go down the street either under it's own power or with some form of help it either got shoved in a trailer or building rather quickly after it was taken. It could have even been stuck in a trailer sitting in the parking lot of the hotel and not moved until later in the day.

 

That is one attention-getting ride, it would be hard to miss on an open trailer or being driven any distance. Not saying there's a security camera around when you want one.

It could have been easily transferred to an empty trailer a matter of 50 feet away and just pulled out once the dust settled.

Are there any storage facilities close by? Might be worth checking them out.

I’ll keep your car and its features in mind. I’m in the Kansas City area. Ya never know.

BTW, I’ll be visiting my best buddy in Hidden Meadows in a couple of weeks. I sure hope there’s a happy ending to this muckin fess and I can swing by and see your “returned” roadster. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

I was just thinking about taking a ride in my Deuce roadster. I'll put the word out here in the San Jose/Silicon Valley area.

at the end of the video there a sound of supercharger whine....man i love that! this roadster is so sweet! I really hope he gets it back as we all do

 

My nightly check in Still no word, damn!

 

Mr 48chevy ,that is right on. no one saw the car moved,so it didn't go far before it was out of sight. it wasn't moved on a roll back or some one would have noticed. its easier to hide in plain sight. trailer close by, or a closed building.

 

We'll be on the lookout in Vegas. Sorry to hear this.

 

you have another set of eyes in the central US

Good luck!

 

Might want to let Racinjunk.com know the deal to.

 

fucking jerks, i would love to be able to smash fingers with hammers of anyone that has taken things that dont belong to them! just this morning i walk out to my truck and some jackass ripped the c.d. player out of the dash last night! iam just glad that the doors were unlocked or iam sure i would have had a broken window and a missing c.d. player.......

 

effin' thieves!! you don't mess with a man's ride!!!

i hope you find it and i hope the perps get locked up.

 

A while back a guy had a 40 Stude stolen from Ventura, he had a couple of retired coppers working on the recovery and sure enough they found it. You might try contacting him, these guys do not mess around....

 

Nightly check in ?? Still Notta ?

 

Damn, it sucks that this car hasn't been returned yet.

I gotta say these theifs have got good taste though.
That car is perfect!

 

The crooks could very easily be what passes for "car people" and attend all the big shows. They look the look, walk the walk, etc.

So all they have to do is cruise through the lot with a rig and trailer, who's going to notice? They get a couple of other guys to quietly roll the stolen car around the corner of the building and they're gone in the proverbial 60 seconds. Pull this off at 3AM and they're 2-3 hours away before anyone wakes up.

Damn !! I was hoping for good news this morning.....
Keep the faith Bro, we're eyes wide open here in Okie land.

 

The car will probably get parted out, I'll keep my eyes out at the Big Three Sappmeet this month in San Diego for any body selling a body.
