Car was stole!
« on: November 15, 2013, 12:35:32 AM »
My son informed me today that the car that I had given and titled over to him several years ago to help him out with some transportation needs had been stolen from a friends supposedly secure storage facility where it had been parked for a while because of mechanical issues. He hadn't check on the car in a while but today when he did car was not on the property. He checked the security video and it caught someone loading the car on a trailer. The video did get a lic.# of the trailer he said. He reported it stolen and the cops are investigating. This happened last week by the date on the video and the car had no insurance on it because he was not currently driving it. My gut feeling is this car is long gone and will never see it again. More then likely it was sold as is or was parted out. This world is full of sorry a$$, low life @%^* people >:(

Got my doubts we'll ever see it again, but I'm sure it won't come back rebuilt if we do. Haha ::)

Been a while since I've seen it, but I know the paint was shot and had some damage to the right fender and door and some oil leaks. I guess some SOB thought it was worth something to go to all that trouble.

Maybe they took it to sell to scrap metal? 

Sorry about your loss, I think it is already chopped up by now.

Don't be surprised if the trailer or the plate that was on it was stolen also. Around here you need a title to scrap out a whole car otherwise it needs to be cut into many pieces.

I managed two storage facilities in CO.  I spent my days watching 20 security cameras when I wasn't busy checking people in and out.  I knew what cars belonged to which people and I knew what units they were supposed to be in.  They won't take any responsibility for it, I'm sure, but it went out right under their nose.  They do have responsibility in this, morally at least.  If there was no sign of forced entry into the facility, then a storage tenant stole your car.  They first need to find out who accessed the property on that date and get statements.  Did they have to break a window to get in the car?

I had a Pontiac Firebird in the late 90s that was sitting at a transmission shop waiting for a tranny.  It got broken into overnight and they stole the stereo and upon doing so ripped the whole bottom portion of the very hard to find dash out of the car.  I didn't have coverage for theft, and after discussing with the shop, they agreed to give me a bit of compensation... not full, but it was at least something.  It was pretty disappointing to get their call the morning after it happened.  It wasn't a perfect car but it was a helluva lotta fun!  I never was able to find the proper dash to put back in.

parting out a vehicle will bring 10x the amount of money over scrap cash.  Sorry it happened,but it's getting so bad here in NC, people are stealing the sewer covers right off the street and scrapping them. One scrap yard got caught being in Lexington,NC.

They were peeling off the aluminum siding on houses over around Detroit and of course no copper pipes or wire was safe in them either if they got inside. This what it looked like or did yours have hide away headlights ?

Certain group of people in Czech (ok, gypsies) will steal communication cable from railroad and burn it to get the copper out to sell for scrap.  With a bit of luck they will cause millions in damage for $100 or so in cash.   Mind boggling.
