Gentlemen, the great thoughts and the winds of the "Gods" has allowed me to find my car, truck and trailer in Apple Valley which is down the I-15 South. The thieves separated the truck and trailer/auto next to the I-15 and drove the truck several miles away.

The car had all the tie downs cut, ramps down, and ready to unload. I think since the car would not start because of a fuel pump electrical that went bad while loading it. It appears the car was expecting something like this to happen. Did loose my tie downs and the ones on the trailer.

It was by chance the same Barstow Police Officer who took my initial report was taking a prisoner into jail when he spotted the car and trailer along the I-15 freeway. Law of chances and everyone's good thoughts made it happen. A lot of respect for Barstow PD.

As we were leaving to go north to Oregon, we received a phone call from the San Bernadino County Sheriff Office says they believed they had found the truck. We met them at the described site and it was the truck completely emptied. It contained our personal items such as computers, books, Navajo rugs and pottery, stereo equipment, pictures, etc. All 26 feet of the van/truck. In addition, I lost all my tools which was contained in seven tool boxes of various shapes and sizes. tools included grinders, pneumatic ratchs, etc.

We spent all day with the Sheriff's Department recovering the car, truck, and trailer completely intact; lost the items being transported in the 26 foot truck.

Someways very fortunate; other ways not so lucky; always appreciate the find support and work done by our Barstow Police Department, SB Valley Sheriff Office, 911 Control Center, and the individuals who make up our law enforcement teams. They stayed with us until the very end.

Penske agency in Apple Valley gave us support directly by providing towing, storage, and support in recovering our items. They stayed after hours and picked up the car/trailer and towed it to their facilities. They then stored it in their facilities and are trying to locate a smaller vehicle for towing to Oregon; maybe even provide tie down items for the trip; these were either cut or stolen.

Any suggestions where I can get quality tie down for the car?

Thanks for all your comments and support; it means a lot to me.

The car is a normal 914-4 completely converted to 911 Carrera engine, front suspension, rear brakes, sway-a-way axles, rear 108cvs and drive flanges, suspensions in bronze, and other related items.

May a bad day, but recovery of every thing except the personal items is still a great day; we are still alive and we have had great support from every body.

A big thanks,
Steve Hurt
