The plot thickens, the same night a friend of mine had his 69 Camaro SS Hotrod stolen 4 miles from where the Chevelle was nabed just over the line into Pa. Same guys????? Jim

Any updates? I know the feeling. Years ago I had my 61 IMPALA SS 348/350 stolen. It is such a violation........just plain rotten . Got my fingers crossed. Sounds like they are close

Hope they nail the #######, on another note a suggestion for some of you guys. While most pre 80 era cars the vin tags and even secondary (hidden) vin's are defeatable or easily re-tagged I have made a suggestion to several car dealers in the Town where I work, and they have taken to implmenting this on some of the higher end Auto's. While the idea has not "beared any fruit" yet, it will. -- Engrave the VIN number of your vehicle on the inside of your "wheels or rims". Easy enough place to check when looking over a car and really one place the crooks do not look yet. Gives the Police another area to check and additionally this information can be "free text" into the NCIC miscellaneous field when entered by the police that take the stolen vehicle report.

But wheels are the easiest thing to change. Why not stamp it on the floorboard or something?

You can place it anywhere, however the wheels usually stay associated with the vehicle. Rarely, does a car thief change wheels and tires unless the car was stolen to be stripped. Secondly, car dealers usually are victim to theft's of wheels and tires - hence a traceable way to associate the wheels if law-enforcement comes across them during an investigation. --Thirdly, keep in mind that today 3M makes decals of VIN numbers that most car manufacturers are placing in many different places on the cars being produced today. If you have a fairly new BMW look around, you will see your VIN number plastered in several places, the most obvious is where the rear license plate goes. There are many you may not see as well. It's all about associating a VIN number with a particular vehicle in hopes of recovery if stolen.

My brother just returned from Australia where he was shown a new process they use to avoid VIN switching. They have a liquid which is sprayed in the crevices and underbelly of the car. It is invisible unless under ultraviolet light.

Not sure exactly how it works but it marks the car with literally thousands of the cars VIN number. It is absolutely everywhere and impossible to remove it unless you tear the whole car apart at all factory seems before acid dipping or sand blasting.

Look for it soon!

Your news clip is very interesting. That is very close to where the 70 LS6 was stolen. Also makes sense that a race car was also found. Many racers stay at local motels around Cecil Cty Raceway. Chances are anybody with a nice trailer probably has something of great value inside.

Just read on a local racing site their may have also been a Chevelle found with the rest of the cars ...But just hear say for now..
