$1000 REWARD******70 442 W30 engine parts stolen

[69LM1]

I personally would try and get with a w30 owner in another state and have him put the word out that he needs those parts on w30 sites etc. I wouldnt up the reward or draw attention to yourself.

However, even if you catch the person, if it is across state lines, dont expect much help.

My brother had his corvette motor stolen and we found it at a shop in Ga. No help from leos here or there, and the vin advertised clearly matched his title. He claimed my brother sold it to him, and like was mentioned here, he had bought some parts from my brother in the past and saw the engine, so leos said it was civil.

My btothers and I had to literally drive to ga and break into his garage on a sunday and get his motor. Not that I am advocating that, it was a real risk, and probably stupid.

And sadly now you just vindicated you and your brothers of a crime (in the eyes of the law) as it is your word against the person who stole it.

I had a similar situation with someone who bought a parts car from me with a title, then never switched the title and got it back on the street. Long story but I was liable for all tickets associated with the car and the police would do nothing even though I had a bill of sale. When I suggested 'taking' &quot;my&quot; car back they told me that was stealing and I could be arrested. Go figure!

Sonetimes you just have to get old school. As I said, it was not smart and not recommended. However, the cops had just as little interest in him calling them as they did when we called.

To them, these are just some rusty ol 40 yr old cars.

I hate to say this, but even if the op finds his parts for sale, how will he be able to prove they are his? I guarantee, the popo aint going to get them back for him without either hard proof, or without calling in a favor, ie knowing people.

Sadly, its the way things are today in most places.

The Thief's can get there Karma the old school way if he steals of the wrong person.
There are a lot of nice people in this world (They look calm and sweet on the outside) but if you rub them the wrong way they may become the Devil if you know what I mean.
I hope he gets spanked the old school way, Cops will not do nothing. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
