$1000 REWARD******70 442 W30 engine parts stolen

Today was a very sad day for me when I walked out to what was a 100% numbers matching 70 442 W30 car and noticed some piece of sh_t stole the original carb, intake, heads, manifolds, steering column, a/c box , wiper motor & radiator and my console & gauges from my 69 LM1 car. I sick and don't know what to do. I called the local pd dept and they wouldn't even attempt to locate finger prints stating that even if they found finger prints it could take as long as 6 years, yes years to check the prints. I'll give $1000 reward for information that leads to the arrest/conviction of the person who stole my parts. Please keep an eye out for these parts for sale on line or hear of anyone looking. I'm located 15 miles south of Pulaski TN right on the TN/AL state lines. I'd be so grateful for any help in getting these parts back and return the favor through reward or whatever I can do to help another person who loves this hobby like I do.

Hi Jay, sorry to hear about this. Which car had the parts stolen, the 69 LM1 or the 70 442 W30, or parts from both?

How did they do this, was the parts on the cars or in boxes as they would need a lot of time if they were taken off the cars.
Were your cars Inside or outside.
Sorry to ask you these questions but I am curious to know [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

looks like console and gauges from the '69 camaro and all the other stuff was taken from the W30. Low-lifes need to meet the business end of a baseball bat...

Thanks guys. Yes the console/gauge was from the 69 Camaro and all others from the W30 car. Finding the correct carb, aluminum intake, heads & alternator for the W30 will be near impossible. Blows my mind that local law enforcement could do nothing more than jot down a few notes but hey what do I know.

If the cops are like that, anybody can take anything they want without ramifications. What's up with that? My Z is locked up good and only certain people know I have it. My family knows to never speak about the car outside our family or ever mention anything about it. That kind of sucks about loosing those parts. How the heck did someone have access to where it was? Was it anybody you know or someone new that one of your friends or family knows?

I would put a wanted ad in craigs list for the parts. they might call you trying to sell them.

Thought about the craigslist thing but pd advised me keep quiet, don't move or do anything and install cameras with hopes that they'd come back. I don't know what to do. My the skin of my teeth I've been able to keep the cars after a nasty divorce and 2 kids in college but it's all going to hell quickly. Not mad at the pd but didn't like there suggestions and lack of ability to investigate from what's taken place thus far. Like the camera idea but what if they come back and steal my fking cars and the camera don't get enough info? I don't tell anyone about my cars and parts but do share on this site since everyone I've sold to or dealt with has been straight with me. I have absolutely no idea who could've done it.

Hi Jay, I am very sad about your loss. I was looking for a clue on what may have happened, and looked at some of your old parts forsale postings, and some of your ads for parts showed you stored the parts at your family farm, exactly where this happened? If true, that is a bit inviting to thieves (i.e farms are not guarded well), your stuff was probably more known about than you think. I was looking at your posting and it showed you have a TON of parts there. I am not sure if you gave out a phone number that is tracable, as some people can do reverse lookups. Or if you ever had someone from that farm, ship a part from there for you, then they probably have that return address. ADT armed my garage, I would get them to come out and hook up a cellular system.

I would start looking who you shipped parts to, that were the closest to that location.
