Part 2 of Cowboy Bob's stolen HAMB dragster

Bottom line, guys, it helps to know people in low places.

For the last couple of days, we had received tips that the car was still on the trailer, untouched. As of 10 a.m. today, the informant called and said he had seen the car, the theives were spending the weekend in jail (ha ha ha) so it would be a good time to recover it while they were incapacitated. The location of the car was given, and myself and a Tulsa Police officer went and checked it out. By God it was there!!

It was in an abandoned building covered with mattresses, a tarp and they had bolted plywood around the trailer. The car and trailer is all that was there, everything else was missing. After some red tape with Tulsa detectives and a call to Cowboy Bob, the car was released to me.
Basically, we stole the car back (ha ha ha ha)

The Okies came through along with Tulsa Police and Cowboy Bob will get his car back!! The informant decided he didn't want the reward money. End of story.

 

Now that's some great news Congratulations , the Network did it's job, you can sleep peacefully tonight now , Way to start a Saturday night

 

Thats the best news I've heard lately.Way Way cool.

 

holy shit! great ending to the story!

 

Why where they in jail for taking the car or somthing else. What else was taken? Anywhy nice to see he got the car and trailer back and he gets some free plywood

 

Thank really made my day.

 

fantastic news .....

 

Damn good news. Wish they could all end this way.........

 

Great news.

Now lets find the rest of the missing cars and parts from the other members on this board.

 

It is good to hear you got your car back. to bad there is to many cars out there still missing.

 

Ted(Mr.Mac) is the real hero here guys. He knows everybody, and really does have friends in low places.

He went above and beyond the call of duty here...

 

great news.

Good for you guys! The good guys win, and the asshat, thievin' bastards get to enjoy the Tulsa lockup for awhile!

 

That's super news. I know Bob has really been down since this all took place.

 

Absolutely fan damn tastic.

 

It's about damn something good happened in one of these stories.

 

That's great man!! I always love a good ending to a shitty story.

 

Awesome!!!

Just talked to Bob and he is thrilled as you can well imagine. He said to give a big thanks to everyone for the help and concern. He said he is trying to get signed on to the Hamb so he can thank everyone in person, but his computer skills aren't worth a shit(his words). The power of the Hamb is awesome.

 

so, will there be charges??? and that informent just turned into a real man! kudos to him!
thanks for the news ted!!!!!!!!!

 

The guys in jail were arrested on unrelated charges,nobody knows who they are except the informant and he aint tellin anybody.
The theives dont know we stole the car back yet.

 

i see! so, if someone was to wait at the old storage shed, and just happened to have a large shotgun.....hmmm..... not that im suggesting anything....
ted,your from that area....if the atv thing is so big there, why doesnt [or do they] setup sting ops on these assholes and bringem all down>???? just wondering....prolly the whole "BIGGER FISH TO FRY FOR THERE BUDGET" like most citys...sad that the folks that protect are so underfunded for things of this nature!

 

I live in Tulsa and I would like to see the skidmarks that stole Bobs ride strung up by the balls. But the soft ass judges here will have him back on the street stealing cars again in no time flat. Now its different with a real criminal like me,they caught me carrying the front wheels on one of my old rides and They nail me with careless and reckless driving and were talking about me going away for two years. I guess they gotta make an example out of us lowlife types,go figure...

 

Awesome!

 

That's neat.

Is there any evidence of anyone trying to start it?

great news!

 

Breeder I cant agree as then someone would be in Jail for murder over a car - incediblily smart! All the tough talk on this site when something like this happens adds NO value and may be even be trouble should someone take that tack........

Posts about solving these issues properly DO add value and Im stoked this car was recovered.
