URGENT: Our 1957 T-Bird "STOLEN" in Hollywood CA, HELP NEEDED

so wait let me get this straight, they moved your two other cars to get to the bird?????

 

shit its a little late, but ill put in a motion light, and i have a friend who can get cameras too. call me, you have my number. i hope they find it!

 

No, they must have used some dollies and pulled the car out sideways

 

man that sucks bad! i really feel for you, ill keep my eye out for it, sun valley is full of stolen cars!

 

Eyes wide open in SJV...........can brute force be used?

 

Fucking terrible chris!!!! So sorry!!! This is very scary man!!!

 

And you're coupe was in there too???? If you need a place to store it if it's the case you're more than welcome to store it at my house in my quadruple locked garage! theres plenty of room!!!! Fuck i'm mad and sad!!!

 

Doubt it is headed north, but I will keep an eye out up here. Sorry for your loss! Make sure you let us know how grundy is, I have a couple of rides insured through them.

 

I don't know you, Chris, but I have admired your cars here on the Hamb and in the magazines, and DAMN when I read your initial post I felt like a member of our family had been hit!
This does suck and I hope it's recovered quick !!

 

Man that sucks Chris.

Almost sounds like a episode of "overhauling", not sure which would be worse . . . . . . . overhauling or south central hahahah

Good luck on the search.

Sucks dude

Chris,

This sucks. Now you are in an elite HAMB club of members whose cars have been stollen.

Good luck on the recovery. Sounds like a tow truck with gojaks probably scooped it in about 3 minutes time.

 

After I saw you today & someone also mentioned it, Howabout a flyer? w/ photo & info? I know a shop over on vanowen who deals mustang, some t- bird, some falcon. I'm sure he'd put it in his shop? early ford store?, cw moss?...etc.??

 

Unbelievable...

I reposted on my f/b also Chris.

If it's any encouragement, my '56 was stolen before I got it from my Great uncle, and it was missing for years, and still recovered intact. I know things are different now, but for whatever it's worth...

Good luck, and stay positive!

 

SLED lives in Mexico, Maybe he can help as well....

 

I made some flyers, and nailed them to telephone poles in our hood, to see if anyone saw anything.
Also I called the border patrol in San Diego/Tijuana, but they automatically stop any stolen car with a police report, but admitted to me that "some" enclosed trucks will get waived by, without inspection.

 

You got to be f'ng kidding me? So sorry. Got the word out - stay positive.

 

i work in east l.a everyday i'll keep a lookout there.....

 

I posted the link for this thread on the Vintage Thunderbird Club and Squarebirds Forums.


Good Luck!!

 

Chris, I just sent you a message, please check it and answer to my email. I've reposted to SRM site to help spread the wild fire alert. My webmaster lives right near the area, his eyes are on the look out! So sorry for our night mares to have come true for you I hate theives, they should be shot or at least have their hands chopped off

 

I contacted my friends over at Prestige Thunderbird and Larrys too if anyone calls trying to "unload" alot of 57' parts...

 

Chris, e-mail me a flier with the info and I'll post it at C.W. Moss......I'll P.M. ya my work e-mail.....good luck man......drag....

 

Chris, I'm so sorry to hear this awful news. I believe in the death penalty for car thieves, especially the pricks that steal classic cars! Are there any security cameras in the area that might have captured this on video? I wish you the best of luck in bringing it back home again.

Another place you can post this is Hotrod Hotline: http://hotrodhotline.com/feature/stolen/ Just send an email with your info and pics with "Stolen Vehicle" in the subject line to: maryann@hotrodhotline.com <maryann@hotrodhotline.com> The rest of you should check out the long list posted there and keep an eye out for them too.

 

A lot of stolen cars send up in a container at the docks - Long Beach and San Pedro, and there are a lot of containers down there.

I used to know a Lo Jack man who was an ex LAPD detective, he would tell me stories all the time of the countless number of Lo Jack devices found under water at the docks or up in trees...never finding the car.

 

Sorry to hear that Chris. I'm glad that nobody got hurt by the criminals. Please keep us updated.

 

sorry to hear bad news wiil keep an eye out...

 

Damn sorry to hear this Chris.... eyes peeled in Tucson for it!

 

WOW!!!! Just WOW!!!! Pros, indeed! And probably planned and scoped for that to go down like that. Go-jacks would be the only way. Incredible. Just incredible! I'll keep the good vibes coming your way, man! Hope some luck is on your side!

Just a thought, any chance some of the larger blog or auto news sites would cover the story and help get the word out? Like HUB or one of those sites, where they have news features?

 

Chris post it on here also!

I just read about this on Squarebirds.org. We're all very sorry for your loss and our board members will be vigilant in our search. - Dave
