I tried to report my 69 Pace car as stolen a few years ago and they told me it was a civil matter so don't be suprised if you get the same answer. The cops did put a call into Mr Lipke to speed him up but it didn't do any good. I finally had to hire a private investigator to find what My Lipke had done with it. Call the transport Co and let them know if the car does not arrive by Monday you are reporting it stolen.

sorry Kim like I said on my first post I had to call and tell them I was reporting it stolen and thank goodness I always got first and last names anytime one of the bozo's answered the phone...I left a voice mail in a few places stating I was reporting it stolen in the morning and naming all parties,,,funny but the darn thing showed the very next day. and to be honest I am pretty sure they lit the tires on it a few times while they had it. MF's!!!!!

Bud.

Chalrey is right, it is a civil matter. Contact the police in your jurisdiction though because a call from an officer will very likely get the results that you're looking for. If worst comes to worst you'll have to hire an attorney.

I am having trouble with reliable carriers. My car was diverted to the MI. warehouse. They said they had corporate moves to make. When picked up, They said it would stay on same truck and deliver in 5-7 days. These companies suck!

Kim,

Why oh why didn't you call me? Altoona is just 10 minutes from me ! ! ! I would have at the very least went over and checked it out and documented it with some digital pictures.

Might even have put my uniform on and went over and scared the s**t out of the driver telling him that it had been reported as stolen and I was going to impound it.

There are a number of GPS tracking services, where you place a GPS unit in/on the car and then track it through a web site. I haven't used any of these services personally, but have looked into them several times.

Here's one such:

Something to keep in mind the next time somebody uses a service to ship an expensive and/or irreplacable car.
