PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT MY 914-SIXER WHICH WAS ON A PENSKI FULL TRAILER BEING PULLED BY A 26 FOOT PENSKE TRUCK. IT WAS TAKEN SOMEWHERE AROUND 0120 AM ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS LOCATED ON WEST MAIN STREET NEAR HOME DEPOT.

THE VEHICLE WAS ALASKA BLUE WITH WIDE FENDERS, CUP II 17 INCH RIMS, NO FRONT BUMPER, REAR BUMPER FIBERGLASS, REAR DECK PRIMER, FRONT DECK PRIMER, NO TOP, WINDOWS ROLLED UP, 911-6 1987 CARRERA ENGINE WITH COMPLETE INJECTION, REBUILT DR. EVIL TRANSMISSION WITH AFOX GEARS, BRONZE BUSHINGS IN ALL SUSPENSION PARTS, 911 FRONT SUSPENSION AND BRAKES, REAR SUSPENSION 914 WITH 911 BRAKES, SWAY-A-WAY REAR AXLES WITH LARGE CV JOINTS AND ADAPTORS, SEATS REDONE, ETC.

THIS JUST HAPPENED THIS MORNING SO IF ANY ONE SPOTS THE CAR, TRAILER, OR TRUCK PLEASE LET THE POLICE KNOW. I CAN HAVE THE LICENSE NUMBER, ETC. WHEN I GET BACK TO OREGON.

TURNING OUT TO BE A VERY, VERY UNHAPPY MOVING TRIP!!!

ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED; PROBABLE VALUE IN THE CAR IS IN "PARTING OUT" SO PLEASE SPOT ANY UNUSUAL SALES ON PARTS.

THANKS,

STEVE HURT
SHOGUNEAGLE

P.S. YES, I AM SHOUTING SINCE THIS CAR REPRESENTS ALOT TO ME BECAUSE OF THE FORMER OWNER DIED FROM CANCER. HE WAS A VERY CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND. VERY UPSETTING!!

Very sad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I bet it is within 3 miles of that hotel. Check for video surveillance footage near by.

That really sucks!!!! Pretty bold not a small rig to be driving around. If the truck was a rental maybe the company has GPS tracking on it.

Hope you find it in one piece.

Did ANYONE leave a cell phone in the rig?

Kids, wife, spare?.
Of course it would have to be charged, but the cellphone providers can track them even if they dont have GPS.

Stu - Sorry to hear.

Nothing worse than a thief. Do I correctly understand that the whole rig was stolen? Not just the car? With ALL your stuff on it? I'll keep an eye out here on the central California coast but chances are all the stuff is still in Barstow. Good luck.

I am in Tijuana Mexico on a family trip- I shall keep an eye around town and across the border as I move around in case it has headed south.

Sorry about the loss- but I do think they new what they are stealing- so they will somehow will try to network to try to move/sale car or parts- hope they are caught soon!

that totally sucks. barstow is an extremely high theft area. the offroad races are held there and someone useually sleeps in the trailers or in the race cars themselves to keep away the thieves. i wish i would have known you were planning on staying there. especially with an open trailer. i would have suggested an alternative. the closest place to sell the stolen car or parts would be vegas or san bernarino/ victorville area. i will keep my eyes open for you. can you post pictures of your car. particularly pictures of stuff that would be difficult to change. welded on parts, dents, somthing that makes it unique?
i have forwarded this thread to my vw/porsche friends in the inland empire area. so we will keep an eye out for it.
good luck.

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
