Stolen Car Recovered After 36 Years by BabaIbada: 7:11pm On May 13, 2011 |
Stolen car returned after 36 years A phone call from the police to say they've recovered your stolen car is usually good news - but imagine if that call comes 36 years after you reported it missing. That's exactly what happened to Janice Maffucci from New Jersey, USA. Her 1969 Chevrolet Camaro muscle car was stolen in July 1975 from outside the post office where her father worked. After 36 years she naturally assumed that it was gone for good. Amazingly, it was recovered after it was recently bought online by an eagle-eyed classic car enthusiast. Keith Williams bought the Camaro SS from eBay and discovered that certain things didn't quite add up when it arrived. Convinced that the Chevy was a fake, Keith contacted California police, who investigated and tracked the car back to a 1975 stolen vehicle report. They contacted the registered owner at the time, Ms Maffucci, and told her they'd found her car. She hung up, thinking it was a joke, but when the local police paid her a visit, she was convinced, and arranged to have the car delivered. Since the theft, the Camaro's original six-cylinder engine had been swapped for a more powerful V8. Mr Williams was able to recoup his investment in the car through buyer's insurance, and Ms Maffucci has been reunited with a car that is now worth significantly more than it was when stolen. The original thief is yet to be found, but police continue to investigate.

waoooo this is amazing. This is what we get when we have records and database as far as donkey years. Do we have such records in Nigeria? Not in this generation |

chibest5: Haba, must you expose your ignorance in public like this? Do you have any idea how much well preserved classics like this can fetch? |
Re: Stolen Car Recovered After 36 Years by Nobody: 2:07pm On May 14, 2011 |
this really shows that there cops are not fighting terrorist. Good record keeping also facilitated the car recovery. Nice job |
Re: Stolen Car Recovered After 36 Years by dubaladu: 2:52pm On May 14, 2011 |
well that can happen only in USA. In Nigeria just forget about recovering your car even when it was stolen 5 seconds ago |
Re: Stolen Car Recovered After 36 Years by kevoh(m): 3:07pm On May 14, 2011 |
First,wowwww! @calculusx U took the words out of my mouth.Excellent record keeping.You go to a Police post here and you find them using chalk and blackboard.and when a wise officer proposes for computers all he gets is story story. @chidibest Try read the story first,understand it before commenting.So typical of most peeps on nairaland. |

That is the power of good data base. If Nigeria has such database, we don't need to spend useless money every time election draws near for voter's registration, |

Haba, must you expose your ignorance in public like this? Do you have any idea how much well preserved classics like this can fetch? These people that call their selves Western world or whatever are busy making us feel like poo by inserting what they feel we should know in our head and we are busy believing them and clapping for them, discovery my backside. that was how they say the oldest man in the world is 114 years when i have grand ma that is over 120 years, to hell with their lies. believe whatever lie they tell you but count me out. |
