NASCAR Racer's Car, Trailer Stolen (Mark Martin)
NBC 4 Columbus ^ | September 21, 2005

PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- A top NASCAR racer had one of his cars stolen during a trip through Central Ohio. Someone stole Mark Martin's No. 6 car and it hasn't been seen since, NBC 4's Mike Bowersock reported.

Early Saturday, at a Holiday Inn in Pickerington, a stock car worth $250,000 was stolen. Martin's batman car was inside a racing trailer when someone stole the Ford F-150 and the trailer hitched to it.

Police said the thieves may not have even known that the racing car was inside.

"Unless you're a race fan, or a race car driver, you wouldn't have any purpose for this, and the trailer isn't marked, so they could have just been stealing the truck and the trailer, not even knowing the car was in there," said Cmdr. Steve Annette, of Pickerington police.

Martin is the NASCAR racer known to some for driving the Viagra car. He wasn't in Columbus when the racing car, a show car, was stolen, Bowersock reported.

The car was on its way to Akron for a display.

"Maybe (the thieves) were a racing team that had a small race car and (they) wanted parts. Well (they) got some good parts," Annette said.

Anytime I question the death penalty, I just think of auto theft and all mercy evaporates.
