Stolen in Los Angeles / Need Help -- 1987 3.2 911 Carrera Silver Coupe

My silver 3.2 1987 Carrera Coupe was stolen in Los Angeles from the Los Feliz area last Wednesday 11/19 sometime between 12AM and 12PM. If anyone has any information regarding this car it is reported as stolen so please contact LAPD via 9-1-1 if within the Los Angeles area and/or or contact me via personal message or email at iluvninjas@gmail(DOT)com. The car was parked on the street in a residential and nice family neighborhood. LAPD tow yards, impound lots, and the tow companies that service this area have not reported ever receiving it or having it in their records.

-License Plate: 6MMN501 - California
-VIN: WP0AB0919HS122057
-approximately 105k miles on it.
-Color is Silver
-Interior is Black Leather
-Light tint on all windows
-Car is completely stock except for aftermarket stereo (kenwood head unit) with Sirius XM satellite radio
-No lojack


I completely forgot to post this here in the haze and horror of having this car stolen and LAPD is probably not going to recover it. This car is irreplaceable to me personally and I’d love to get it back.

I’d appreciate any suggestions as well if anyone has any thoughts on ways to recover the car. Insurance will be covering the total loss if if cannot be recovered, but I’m concerned the value of the car vs what I initially insured it for will not match or be sufficient to replace this car as I know these have appreciated since I bought it 5 years ago.


Will post more pictures if I can find some.

Thanks,
Chris

While it's good to get the word out everywhere, you're going to need a bigger boat. Meaning Jalopnik. Craft the best human interest story about what the car means to you and pitch it to them. Enlist professional help if need be re writing. No joke, they've recovered a few cars this way. I see no other hope....

Post a WTB ad, not too specific, on LA Craigslist. Good Luck!

Not long ago a Pelicanite in AZ I believe had his 911 stolen and then parts appeared on here for sale. That led to the scum being caught and jailed. Watch the ads on various sites.

I HATE thieves and really hope you get your car back. Sorry to hear this news.
