Stolen car alert-1911 emf-pitsburg, ca

[Dan McEachern]

Hello Everyone- I just found out about this earlier today- please pass the word to your local club members and friends. This could happen to any one of us. A member of the local HCCA chapter had his truck and trailer stolen from in front of his home in Pitsburg,CA last night. Worst part is his restored 1911 EMF was in the trailer.

Please send this to all your old car friends and clubs so Don and Joyce can get their car back.

Here is Don's e-mail with the information:

Everything was at my home in Pittsburg. Police reports have been made.

The truck is a white Ford F250 1996 with a white camper shell. It is a 2-door cab and a half with a short bed. License Plate Calif #5M67546. Mileage is about 40,000. Very clean and loaded.

The enclosed trailer is a black color 16' x 8' x 7' with a rear door ramp, tandem axle, with the large HCCA decal on the top right corner of the rear door. License #4GV7121 and is California permanent trailer tag. Trailer has an electric winch mounted inside.

The EMF ia a 1911 5-passenger touring complete car black fenders and burgundy body, excellent brass with speedometer (Stewart & Clark 26). All brass have cloth covers. License # HC 4978. Engine # 22959.

Looks like a good idea. If you go to some of your local "We give credit to anyone" car dealers (at up to 35% interest) you might find out what works best in your area.
They often hide these in higher value cars sold to high risk customers - usually with the no start or shut down option. They just send the repo man to the indicated location.

I am giving serious consideration to one in my enclosed trailer since that seems to be the main target & often the car inside just gets caught up in the theft.

Jack, I have game trail cameras placed around for idenity purposes. But I could loan you my wife to tie up to your trailor, she`s meaner than any junk-yard dog but watch her when you go out to feed her, she`s bad to snap! Monte

It has been posted there 5 times by 5 different people but it would not hurt to do it again. Things move way down the list quickly there.
