Please pass this to as many of your car people as possible. This is not a joke. We are desperately searching for
these
cars.

Between 1AM and 4AM on Saturday, August 8, 2009, FOUR Hurst/Olds were stolen
from 2 hotel parking lots adjacent to each other in Indianapolis,
Indiana. There
were over 125 H/O's in attendance for the Hurst/Olds Club of America 25th
National Meet. This was a calculated "hit", not a random crime. The
thieves knew
we were going to be there, they knew which cars they wanted, they knew
what they
were doing and they got us!

It took them less than 1 minute to gain entry to a car, have it running and
leaving the parking lot. They used a white crew cab pick up truck and
drove into
the lot and parked like they were a guest. One person exited the truck
and hit
the car, then both left. They went back and forth from one hotel to the
other,
not raising suspicion. This was evident from reviewing the hotels security
tapes. Following is a list of the cars with unique features about each.
