Have you guys heard about the stolen 914 on Ebay? Purchased from Camp914 a year and a half ago and then stolen from the new owner. Ebay seller has been informed and is NOT stopping the auction. Claims he bought it legally! That actually sounds familiar. Orange and nice. This guy should seriously stop this auction before this plie of stromberg gets deeper...

I contacted Ebay and the seller and I see it has now been pulled. The seller actually sent me an email that was pretty smart assed and told me to stay out of it and that he had bought it legally. As if there is a way to legally buy a stolen car. Pretty sure there isn't... Perhaps away you would not be held legally responsible but not "legally".

When & where was it stolen?

Does the person who owned it when it was stolen been notified that it was listed on Ebay?

WOW! What a story! My 914 was sold (legally) from 914world earlier this year. Owner posted over 100 pics on photobucket and I recognized it IMMEDIATELY. I missed buying it by two days.

Anyway, what is really cool about these cars is how they're instantly, undeniably recognizable from the description and a few pics. When I told people how MY old car was on the internet for sale, the most common thing I heard was "oh, you mean a car LIKE your car" or "how do you know it's YOUR car."

Like there's any possible way a mother wouldn't recognize her kid on a milk carton!

So...the upshot of the whole thing is,

THIEVES BEWARE! The 914 community is watching!

The control between the seats is a rare cruise control option? I always thought it was the heater control? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Post who the owner that the car was stolen from. Otherwise it is pure speculation.

Like asking if (fill in the blank) is still beating his wife.

Owner is anmason from the old club site. Since this situation is well known to many of us I would not call it "pure speculation".
The entire thread about when he bought it, when he lost it etc. Is on the old Club site. The person he bought if from is Craig Laughlin from Camp914.

Not really sure how the old thing about is so-and-so beating his wife applies here either. You wouldn't happen to be Holley911 from EBay would you?

The previous owner still had Oregon plates on the car while in the Bay area. I was the recipeint of the unpaid parking tickets.
I was never out of pocket any cash. The car was stolen, then the whole matter went away until the ebay auction. I notice the auction has ended, as the item is no longer available.
The car was actually very nice. The throttle lever between the seats was from a 914-6. Lots of other nice upgrades by the original owner.
