This is not a joke. We are desperately searching for these cars.

Between 1AM and 4AM on Saturday, August 8, 2009, FOUR Hurst/Olds were stolen from 2 hotel parking lots adjacent to each other in Indianapolis, Indiana. There were over 125 H/O's in attendance for the Hurst/Olds Club of America 25th National Meet. This was a calculated "hit", not a random crime. The thieves knew we were going to be there, they knew which cars they wanted, they knew what they were doing and they got us!

It took them less than 1 minute to gain entry to a car, have it running and leaving the parking lot. They used a white crew cab pick up truck and drove into the lot and parked like they were a guest. One person exited the truck and hit the car, then both left. They went back and forth from one hotel to the other, not raising suspicion. This was evident from reviewing the hotels security tapes. Following is a list of the cars with unique features about each.

thats terrible. hope they find the cars, intact.

My guess would be that the cars are already in containers bound for overseas buyers.

Wow that sucks. I had 2 cars stolen and none of the 2 were ever found. Hope they have better luck then me in recovering them.

that blows!!! some people just don't deserve to live :twisted:

****ing terrible...the crappy things people will do for money these days. get a ****ing job and buy your own ****.

someone check nicholas cage's alibi !!!
:rofl:


sorry couldn't resist, this is correct though, either already stripped, or already out of the country

this is why i believe in "dangerous" car security systems. Like stun gun door handles that you can arm. Lojack would also help a lot in this case

OK Q from james bond

they found the 79 partially stripped out

setting booby traps for people is illegal

tow trucks are more effective. I prefer the under-bed sneaker lift as opposed to a standard self-loading system. both are sub-30sec snatches

relevance to thread?

that sucks i hope they find them but im sure sadly they are already stripped.

So is stealing.

yeah but thieves have sued people for being injured while committing crimes on their property.....

Debatable. :wink:

:rofl: Been there!
