Stolen July 4th...1987 Turbo Look Cab

One of our customers had this 1987 black/cancan red Turbo Look Cabriolet stolen right out of his garage on July 4th, in California... WP0EB0914HS172088
Here's the old web page from 2001 with more pictures and info: inventorytemplate
Thanks,

Where in California? It's a big state.

This to me is astoundingly brazen. The forum has been really helpful in spreading the word, and I hope there's a chance of recovery.

Wow.

Lowlifes likely thought they were stealing a $100K turbo.

I think the PO wants us to look at his inventory...

I'd most likely guess it was in Southern Ca, more specifically beach cities (redondo, manhattan, hermosa), or west LA area. Ask me how I came up with this conclusion. Better ask me why my Porsches, or old vws never spend more than 1 hour alone outside (even 10 mins if too much)

Ha! I bet you're right, considering the carefully inserted (such a good word!) links!

My thoughts. We should have been notified when it was stolen. After a month that car is overseas or in pieces. Sorry for the owner's loss.

Stolen Turbo Look Cab

Come on guys....Chill out...My customer just called yesterday, asking for any pictures or information I had from 14 years ago to help him with his insurance company. Thanks to the Way back machine site, I was able to help him out, so I linked to that to identify the car, and posted it. Since there are many empathetic and unbiased Pelicans all over the world, I thought perhaps one of them may just come in contact with the car at a port somewhere. As for the way Pelican recognizes my web site link... I don't have any control over that.

I'd post on the Tech Forum as well. More eyeballs there.
