My friend, Felix’s, car was stolen Saturday after 6PM from the New Hope, PA area.

It’s a 1967 Banana Yellow Camaro w/Historic Bucks County PA front plate, Moon hubcaps, Black RS stripe around the nose and matching spoiler.

So unfortunate! I’m from Bucks and go to New Hope fairly often. Never thought there was really any crime up there! Best of luck to your friend!

Camero?

I will put the APB out to all the people I know in the area. Keep an eye out on the local Craigslist for parts.

Classic car thefts are really annoying. One Charger enthusiast lost his ‘69 Charger couple of months ago ( read more here ). The guy even managed to see the the escaping thief but wasn’t able to stop him. During the discussion about the stolen car (which still remains missing) one fellow enthusiast mentioned about a way that the criminals might be using to get ownership of a stolen car.

“One way for the thief to take possession of a vehicle is to have a friend or family member that own a storage company. They place the car into storage and create a fake storage contract (for the original owner of the car). The car is then left there for however long while the “unpaid storage fees” pile up. After a certain amount piles up the storage place puts a lien on the car. What the thief gambles on is that the owners have moved from the house where the car was stolen. The storage place mails out the lien paperwork to the last address where the car was registered. If the letter isn’t answered by a certain time or returned, they hold a fake auction in which the thief bids on the car for a paltry amount and wins it. He then gets a bill of sale from the storage place and can apply for a new title for the car in his own name.

This happened just last year with a Hemi Cuda. The problem for the thief was that the people after 14 years, the people still lived in the same home! So when they all of a sudden got a notice in the mail on a lien on their car, they rushed to go get it. Problem was the thief had realized something was up and took the car out of the locker before they got there. To make a long story short, the original owners luckily got their car back.”

The method seems to be pretty annoying as the car might be stashed for very long time before thief tries to make his move. And finding the storage should be really hard if the thieves are serious are about getting profit.
