It may have looked like this if it was new the year it was stolen.

A Corvette stolen in January 1969 from a Queens, N.Y. resident ...

Call me cynical, but I smell a very old case of insurance fraud somewhere in this story...

I guess if ICE won't check cargo containers, CHP has to.

I'm pretty sure there will be an insurance company representative there to take possession of the car (assuming anybody bothers to notify them).

There's sure a lot of missing info in this story. Don't "reporters" ask any questions these days, or are they just afraid they'll fill up the internet with too many words?

The owner said, "I'm really pleased with SlowJack."

I worked for a guy who unknowingly bought a stolen 1964 'Vette. He tried to sell it 6 years later and the buyer, a cop noticed the hidden VIN was different than teh windshield VIN. This was weeks before statute of limitations ran out. My boss lost the car and all he'd invested.

"So, was my candy bar still in the glove compartment?"

[DustyMoment]

Wow, with police work like this, is it any wonder that california leads the nation in having the lowest crime rate and highest prosecutions in the nation?

Oops, my bad. None of tha'ts correct.

Sorry.

The ever-vigilant CHP. They always get their man (or car).

This is a very weird story.

[sionnsar]

Gee, maybe they'll find my Honda stolen in '81.

Took a pro forma report, told me it will turn up in 3 days, and were gone.

What are the police doing looking for a car that was boosted 37 years ago. How many man hours went into this. What a colossal waste of time while real and violent crime in the present was taking place.

Once again the CHiPies are right on the case! No love lost between me and the Kalifornia Highway Patrol Gang.
