Here are some photos that were on Facebook, I copied them from the host club's FB page of the car at the show. I'll see if can find more.

Any info, please contact my pal Jim (number above) or the Temecula Police Department!

 

Hope they find and hang the scumbags responsible

 

Eyes open up Nor Cal way.

 

Thanks fellas. Ya know, a few public hangings might bring the crime rate down....

I really feel sorry for you because that is one beautiful car.

Not sure what I what do to the person if it were my car and I caught them.

When people steal from other people they deserve to have both their hands broken that's all I am saying.

I know what I'd say, but I won't reiterate it here. I will say this: They'd be hearing my voice while staring at the business end of my .40. One move to threaten my life of those of others would be their last move. They are welcome to slowly, lay safely on the ground until the police arrive.

 

Then comes... BANG! Sorry, forgot to mention that breathing counted.

 

Hope this comes to a good end and all recovered in good shape Eric. I detest thieves and share your views on their future on earth. This is where we need GPS's in our cars. JW

 

dam that sucks. I hope they find them and his truck and car.

 

not good at all. all too common of a situation. some type of a GPS tracking system seems like it would be a good investment. too close to Mexico, etc

 

Over and over some POS grabs the goods at some Hotel .Dont they have any security at all ? The hotels better start to give a shit about their parking lots.

 

Damn that sucks and it looks like he was staying at a reputable place not a flea bag hotel.

 

It is a good idea to put a number on the roof of the trailer (does not have to be a phone number) it helps to identify it by overpasses and by air.

sorry to hear about the lose, that shit is bad i hope its found complete.

 

Thanks for the comments guys. The truck was recovered at some point today, somewhat stripped. I don't know where it was found or many details, but the '50 and trailer are still missing.

That sucks, Temecula's less than 100 miles from Tijuana, I hope it's still in the U.S.

 

Me too!
