    I am reaching out to my fellow HAMBers, my friend from California had his T bucket Nostalgia Altered stolen along with his truck and trailer last night in west side of Long Beach CA. I race an injected small block t bucket in Pennsylvania and have been corresponding via Facebook with Joe Barton for a about a year. We both really love racing our altereds and we need to help find the low lifes that did this. We have shared the trials and tribulations of building and racing our nostalgia cars. I have never met Joe, so please contact the Long Beach police if any one has any info. below are pics of the car ,truck and trailer FB_IMG_1442875866796.jpg FB_IMG_1442875884110.jpg FB_IMG_1442875876096.jpg

    I just got trailer tag info, trailer plate # Ca. Plate 4LE8935
     
  4. What a shame.....That truck and trailer looks pretty indiscriminate. I bet the thieves thought they would be getting a trailer full of contractor or masonry tools. You guys in Cali, Az, Tx need to be pretty vigilant.

    I hope he gets it back in good shape. I read about another enclosed going missing the other day. It is a good idea to paint something unique on the roof. It will be easier to spot in urban areas that have police helicopters on patrol.

    people ought to start painting those trailers fluorescent orange so they stand out when they get stolen.

    That really sucks for your friend, Paul. Glad they got part of it back, and hope they get the rest. Looks like it was targeted, the thieves kept the stuff they were after and dumped the truck and trailer.
