The article seems to imply a large conspiracy behind the theft...and probably a big criminal organization.

I did not follow the thread about the recovery but, was blown away to see the money donated to cancer research.

Wayne is a class act. I am always impressed with this website and the people associated with it.

I recognized the last name Polak, is this a relation to as member here with the same last name?

Vasek Polak was a super-mega-sports car fan here in S. Cal. that owned a very large Porsche/AUDI/BMW dealership . He also sponsored many cars (mostly Porsche) and had a large collection or racing cars, many which were on display at the dealership.

I honestly don't know much about him or if he is related to anyone here.
