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...

Link?

yea...which one is it??? there are currently 9 on there...--JON

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".

VIN Number: 60406022348 Hmmmm?

When & where was it stolen?

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

Hey ..... I know who could give excellent expertise in this matter!

Owner knows. He wants his car back but the guy is claiming lein sale from towing company blah blah blah...

Tell him to call the cops....we know how those lein sales work out

Would that be the Death Valley Towing company?

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!

Paul

BUUUUUURN HIIIIM!!! He turned me once into a newt. I got betta.

The control between the seats is a rare cruise control option? I always thought it was the heater control?

Yeah, I'd love to know how folks hook that up...

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?

hey hey easy... (from the other mike m(iller) )

Dear Mr. C. Dodger ...

this *is* the old club site. that thread never left the house, it's all *here* ...

So did you get contact info before spooking the guy? Does Craig know, or the previous owner? We

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.

Oh... So I make a little mistake about where content is located and the Andy who doesn't know enough not to wear brown boots with camo after memorial day jumps all over me... I get no respect.

Both Craig and the PO know. Ebay will have the contact information. I doubt the guy will bolt if that is what you mean by spook. He bought the car through a legal process its just that someone failed in due diligence when checking for ownership and status. Sellers only "sin" is jacking up people who point out that it is a stolen car. He told the owner to "try that scam on someone else".

Andy

No, I'm not that person. I simply pointed out that your post was incomplete without the name of the former owner. Cool your jets.

and he did.............lol
check out the thread on clubbrad

Ahhhhhh.....

The ever so honorable towing companies.....
The sonsabeeches in Cincinnati were driving around, finding a likely looking car, hooking it and towing it to a "friendly" car scrapyard. They got almost $200 a car for bringing them in. Paperwork? we don't need no stinking paperwork, cash and crush.
Wouldn't put it past a towing company to snag the parked car and then title and sell it......

I'd start there with a really big ugly Attorney and work my way through the chain of buyers and sellers AND my personal insurance company (IF the car was insured).

And in NO WAY would I pay the E-bay guy. To do so is to admit guilt and settlement.

Kensmarterandwisernow

Cool my jets or? Interesting. 8 posts in 5 years, 25% in the last 24 hours. Did you have something you wanted to contribute or did you just come out of lurk mode to bait me? Good luck with that. ohhhh I am so angry right now I don't know what I will do!!! NOT.

Your avatar is like subconscious ain't it? Cone dodger? Thinking of marriage and she's got huge tracks of land. It's all masked into the car thing. Your dodging is the true instinct you need to listen to. Don't get married, I hate to see a good man go down.

No kidding? My sweetie always says she LOVES to see a good man go down.....

Wachaaaa

Its back up on Ebay! Wonder what happend?

no reserve???

"This car was listed several weeks ago on ebay but a previous owner stated that this car was stolen from him 18 months ago. In the interest of be ethical, I cancelled the auction until the police investigation had been completed. The investigation is complete enough for the CHP to notify me that the car is legally mine and as such, legally mine to sell. If you would like the name and number of the CHP officer in charge of the case, just email me with your request. If you would like a faxed copy of my clear and valid California title, just email me with your request. Thanks and good luck."

Hmmmm

B-S

Is listed on the title. Hmmmm

This whole thing just makes me sick. What the fuck is the deal? What happened?

Why don't we just send a tow truck company to go get it like the last time?

Ok every one . I am the buyer and seller . my partner and I bought it from a guy in oackland named King . He is the listed Owner . and The CHP telles us we now own it ,(when telling his story to everyone) the Guy who lost the car did not say any thing about that this car has been rereged four times betweenthe time it was so called stollen. I think it was an inside job ,this WORLD travler leaves the car on the street in Oackland and all his FRIENDS know about were this car is.He is gone for months. Look; we did the correct thing buy pulling the car from the Ebay to sell it to this Guy who lost it . . we offer it to him four two thousand.(the amount i have in it ,) we has non contacted us . I guess i thinks the world will just wait for him .. RONG.. Happy bidding all . It is a great car . It s to bad it had to end up on the BAYYYYY. If u dont get pissy with me i will respond to u . Peace Rick
