Stolen! 1937 Ford Panel Truck- Phoenix, Arizona - UPDATE: RECOVERED!

Amazing!! Note to self: keep a camera in the truck besides a fire extinguisher.
Never know when ya might need it.

 

Been in the hospital & missed alot of this post. Maybe we can still find 1lowtrk truck that was takin at the Roundup

 

Bravo nick........................just bravo

 

congrats on getting her back! everybody on hear should pay attention no matter where you live. with the unemployment rate the way it is everywhere, we should all put that extra pad lock in the door track, and a dead bolt on the service door. do something! dont make it easy for them. thanks nick for keeping the eyes open!

 

I'll go along with that one

 

Nick Flores-H.A.M.B.er of the year!!!!!

Fixed that for ya! Absolutely amazing news. This should be on local tv news and the papers.

 

Thats a great story. Good on you Nick.

 

crap. thats the best news. aye to nick for the hamber of the year.

my buddy with a 37 truck is gonna love this latest news.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to go HAMB!

 

aye !!

 

Was there ever a video posted of the new coverage? Sorry if I missed it...

 

I asked the TV reporter to call me back after I had a chance to talk to the Blake family. I never heard back from from her.

 

That's a bummer, Nick! Stories with GOOD endings should be on the news, too, y'know? We have enough "gloom and doom" reporting. It'd be nice to share some good stuff, too, but I guess that doesn't make the ratings.

Thanks again for watching out for your buds, Nick!

 

What is the final outcome about the pukes that stoled it. ??

great news well done everyone

 

Interesting to see this thread brought back up. The Blakes finally got the panel back after the police finished with it. I was supposed to get down there this week to work on my engine a bit but had the flu instead...

There were some very interesting details about this case, which is why we didn't post about it previously. If Dave gives me the thumbs up, i'll fill you guys in, I'd sure hate to mess up an ongoing investigation. I haven't heard what charges have been pressed against whom, but I'll be sure to ask Dave when I see him next.

 

Finally damn it.....One Hot Rod recovered !!!
We gotta stop these idiots from stealin our stuff !!

 

Nick, I glad this thread bubbled up too. I just joined H.A.M.B. a few days ago and really enjoyed reading the story, start to finish. Been racing for years so I know a little bit about how much the bad guys are out there looking for cool cars, and how seldom it turns out good. Please share what you can on the rest of of the story.

Big CONGRATS! on bein' "Da Man". It's clear from your posts you're a classy guy too. May the Karma bank pay you, with interest.

Glad to know I'm in such good company.

 

nick, be real interesting to find out how the dmv might have been envolved???

 

DMV wasn't involved any more than they would've have been on a legit deal. Once this sucker got cracked open however, is a whole other story. The perps "alledgedly" procured a bonded title issued by a third party (read; privately owned/not a State office). They were at the DMV procuring a trip pass or temp tag for some reason. With a title in hand, the DMV agent had no reason to question it, unless of course said agent was a HAMBer.

Welcome Starliner352! I believe that if it was any HAMBer the story would have the same result. We were pretty lucky that day and I just happened to be at the right place, at the right time, with a dime.

 

thanks ,when you are able to give out the story please do.

 

I gotta give you two big thumbs up Nick! This story was awesome to read, and know that there are people like you that belong to this forum. May God pass on many blessings to you for your kindness, and willingness to help!

 

Hell Yea......glad to see some one get one back. Time for a de-nutting.

 

Fuckin' sweet!

 

Awsome , i had not seen this thread till today , may be late but " Atta Boy Nick" !!!!!!!!

 

Terrific Outcome! Can't wit for more ofthe details if Nick gets permission, of course.

 

Fantastic work, Nick.

You had the opportunity. You stepped up and helped out. That truck could have been lost forever without you.

 

I just read all 18 pages GREAT job Nick I know you've read it ALOT but you really did a great thing. I got my first car stolen day after my 17 b-day 65 mustang GT still bums me everytime I think about it.The H.A.M.B. RULES alot of cool people on here when I get an extra 50 Ryan will get it.

 

Way to be heads up Nick!
