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

I like that hell this is all I could come up with

 

A true hero!

 

Mini police Corvettes and pink under wear... this sight has everything!!

 

thats sherriff Joe behind the guys in the pink shorts.........

 

Kudo's to Nick and the rest of the AZ HAMBers that helped recover this bad boy.

 

I hope that someone will keep us posted with what happens to the thieves that stole the panel.
We should all be mindful about stolen car alerts and keep our eyes peeled for them. It could be your car next.

 

Way to go, now we still have that pickup truck to find. I wonder if they can get one of the 6 to squeal on the theft operation.

Kudo's

 

Nick...youre a class act...well done....glad you picked cars as one of your hobbies...

 

This is really unbeliveable amazing that is sooooo freakin awesome!! great job!! they were dumb enough to let you take pics but had enough scene to sand the whole thing

 

Wow this is such a great story and one of the many reasons I pay up every year Ryan has really hooked us all up and I hope everyone is realising how good we got it on the HAMB I was thinking Hey Ryan how hard would it be to make a section for look outs on stolen cars ?

 

Sniff.....I love a happy ending! Kudo's to Nick very being very observant and willing to take charge when most people "not Hambers" would just shrug their shoulders and say "It's none of my business." Nick...I salute you!

 

I hear ya but I have two questions for you.
1) How do they get stolen cars past the border? Don't they Border Police check out the papers etc if this is such a problem?

2) So now these Illegals will go to an American jail & we will pay for all 6 of them for the next 2 or 3 years? Or Do they get deported & sent to a Mexican prison?

 

Cookies AND a case of beer! Good work!

 

nick nice job.

the power of the hamb never ceases to amaze me!

 

what a great story!!!!i just cant believe that nick was able to think that fast and get the info.to the right people!!!as others said in just a couple more hours the truck would never have been found.keep us informed on what happens to the a holes that stole it.

 

I will add one more 'good job' on this adventure with the truck and recovery. The end is not always like this

 

im still wondering if they have someone working on the inside to get the tags, I wonder if anyone will research how many cars have been registered by the thiefs previously. I think there is a bigger scenario possibly not being seen right now.
also, Does anybody in the family know any of the guys? how did they know the truck was there? contractors or lawn maint. on property recently?

 

Good luck. He is on vacation or campaining for the next election. This is not his problem. Make sure EVERYONE gets out to vote.

ok guys let keep this thread open! enough with the bullshit politics off this thing! remember all past presidents are fucken puppets!!!!!ok enough said.

 

1. The American Border Patrol does not check cars leaving. The Mexican Federales check stuff coming in.

2. There are hundreds if not thousands of Illegals (I am using your term) currently in the US prison system. Do the crime here, pay here.

If this is more than just 6 thieves working alone (very possible) the Mexican justice system may be willing to shorten any US sentence once the convicted are sent there. They seem to have crowded prisons too.

If this is over the line mods, please remove rather than close. Just facts, not trying to get political.

 

Great piece of news!! Congrats to Nick and all those involved in the recovery. The HAMB is now like "Americas Most Wanted for Cars". Bravo,Cat

 

***Have you ever drivin in to Mexico? I've personally crossed the border countless times and HAVE NEVER ONCE been stopped on my way south. That's why this is such a big deal. We found the fuckers before they could make the cross.***

***First of all none of the crooks have been confirmed as illegal, they are all allegedly on legal papers or are American citizens. Second, even if they were illegal, wouldn't you feel better knowing you chipped in a few cents to keep them here in one of our jails?***

Come on now guys! This is not a racial issue, nor is this a political forum. This is about a stolen vehicle being recovered. Share in the good times! If you can't keep your racial or political comments to yourself please refrain from posting.

 

Just curious- any details on who took it??
How'd they catch 'em, anybody you knew ????

 

That makes sense, I did cross into Canada one time 20 years ago & bought a 57 Chevy 210 handyman. I didn't have to pay any taxes on it coming home because it was an American car. So either you pay no taxes at the border of Mexico or the whole system is corrupt.

 

Just a quick update. Wish I could give you more info but the whole thing is still under investigation, hence the deletion of my earlier posts. Let's just say that police patrols have definitely gone up in that area. When I get all the juicy details and they are suitable for public consumption I'll be happy to share.

 

THATS WHAT IM SAYING THERE IS A CREW BEHIND THIS
THEY HAD A PLACE TO GO TO WITH THAT TRUCK AND THEIR ARE PROBABLY OTHER CARS ALREADY THERE make one of them squeal and you'll open a big can of worms and find some lost cars

ever see the thread mexican junk by sled im not saying he did anything he just finds them all over the place i always wonder how many of those cars where stolen and taken down there

 

You are right crossing into the U.S. from Canada, no taxes paid at point of entry but you can bet your ass that you will be stopped and you had better have your papers in order for you new purchase or you will not be taking the car home with you.

 

I know I'm just repeating what everyone else has said , but BRAVO on the (very quick) recovery !!! It's simply amazing ...

 

I hope that doesn't happen , as it's a very inspiring thread !
