Hey all, just to be aware, my '73 2.0L was stolen from in front of my friend's place in Oakland, CA. I'm talking with the Oakland PD, but they're obviously not very hopeful.

The car was a bright orange '73 bought from CAMP 914 in April. Webber 40IDFs, black painted bumpers, sway bar and Konis in the front, Bilsteins and 140# springs in the back, bare metal Fuchs all around, banana muffler exhaust, center console, old silver tape player for a stereo. The driver side headlight relay was going out, so when you turn on the headlights they would both go up, but the driver side light would just keep going up and down untill you caught it just right with the switch.

If anyone has any information about my baby PLEASE send me an email. I am not interested in dealing with the police in the matter, I'd just like my car back.

The worst thing about this is that a friend of mine was taking care of it while I was travelling through Egypt, and it was stolen about 30 days ago while I was gone, so that now he feels awful and I'm stuck chasing it 30 days later.

I don't have any hope that it'll turn up, but if you guys see, or have seen in the last month, something like this pop up in the paper or on the street, please let me know...

aaron@aaronmason.com

I'd tell you guys to watch out, but hey, I do live in Oakland...

Cheers...

That's the one! The steering wheel was changed to an aftermarket wheel, but other than that they're perfect. Thanks for posting them and thanks again for keeping the eye out... Here's the only one I can find... The giant red car in front is the one I drove across the country in July. My friend didn't call the police when it dissappeared because he figured it'd been towed (even though there was still a car with tow notices on the same street that had been there for months) and was waiting for me to get back to deal with it.

I've spoken with John down at EASY, the Oakland PD has registered it as a stolen car, and I'll watch craigslist... Any other ideas as to who else I should contact locally that might be able to keep an eye out (parts shops, etc.)?

A couple of identifying characteristics are the addition of the 914/6 hand throttle next to the gear shift and the chip in the windshield right behind the rearview mirror (from the driver's perspective). The engine is a 1974 2.0L with finned aluminum valve covers.

The license plates are from Oregon: YTQ 136

(IMG:http://www.aaronmason.com/transfer/914_1.jpg)

Would it help if I posted a long list of all the parts on the car that could be parted out?

Thanks again guys!

I would suggest watching Porsche's for sale on Craig's list. A lot of stuff winds up for sale there.

How about a "MISSING 914" ad like missing children on the homepage or header?

More likely the thief took it for a joy ride. I hope you get it back...

Since you are in Oakland, check with Easy Auto on Harlan near 49th and San Pablo (IIRC). I used to live there (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) They only deal in old porsche parts.

Good luck.

Don't lose hope it took me 18 months to get mine back, the people who stole mine and ended up with felonies for their efforts are, ************, and Brad Allen Roberts. Brad used a friend by the name of ****** and a local title company to get a lean title on my car.(No I did not.. never had a title on the car) Make sure the DMV knows that it is stolen, make sure it's on the list in all 50 states. From what I heard from other people it was not Brads first time.


Sam,

who runs this site? Do you not understand that every time you turn your computer on...we know it?

If you are going to send out PM's and email to people.. at least give me a shot to defend myself.

I used the lien company to search for previous owners. Get it straight.. please. It is all documented 1500 times in the court docs.

Oh.. the title company was NOT local. They are based out of San Diego county. It was the largest lien company that had been around the longest.

The above quote was sent to the person who started this thread.

It is more fun to track him through all the different logins he has.

It is kinda like watching a train wreck.

It's not really local, but have someone down south check out the next swap meet in Pomona. Stolen stuff sometimes ends up there.

To help find your car you could make flyers with it's picture on it. List when and where it was stolen. The licence plate numbers and serial numbers and a contact number for yourself and the police.

Send or deliver them to all the local auto parts places with a letter asking if they would post the flyer. Send them to any auto recyclers also.

Join every car club board you can find. Most have a off topic thread that you could post the info too.

Who knows, someone may see the flyer and have seen the car or knows where it is.

Good luck on getting your car back...

I checked the auction and the car is pretty rusted out, I am sure it is not the missing 914, It was just wishful thinking on my part. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
