trying to sell law enforcement on it is almost pointless, appeal to newspapers and t.v stations may get pictures in the publics face and will do more. get the insurance companies fired up they put big pressure on government officials because they have money extorted by public officials and in times like this its payback time!

meaning the insurance companies should demand assistance from the elected officials that get money from the insurance companies for their "campaigns"

New York Times article
FOUR were stolen, sounds like Mafia or something, maybe FBI will get involved.

You, I or the owners of the cars may not be able to get them to do it, but pointed questions coming from DC or Sacramento about what, exactly, is being done on the case might be able to.
I'd even look up customs at the Mexican boarder and LB port, and see if they have fax numbers. If they do, FAX them photo's of all 4 cars with the details of their thefts, and just header it with, 'BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR". Can't hurt.

Wow! What a way to make the New York Times!
Nice thing is that between my wife and I, plus hundreds of supporters, the message is getting out there!
The local newspaper here in Placerville (Mountain Democrat), has it on the front page!
Man......at least we're giving it a hell of a chance to be recognized!

If you make a flyer to pass around, include a decent reward $$ on it and be sure to let them know they'll remain annonymous if the information leads to the car. A bit of money can go a long way, since you can probably assume the thiefs are druggies and there's no loyalty there!
Have you thought about posting the information on Craigslist and stating there's a reward?? You'll get a lot of idiots contacting you, but the right person could be out there too...

"druggies" don't steal customized '62 Corvettes

Druggies have too much cash - that problem - they don't need additional problems with law from stealing cars!
I am wondering how the heck someone steals cars from the Mecum auctions lot?
Also what is in the contract for auction - and if Mr. Mecum will have to write some checks!?

So sorry, You might also try a little known site called "digitalcorvettes.com".
Maybe it can't be registered with a stolen vin# so I will keep a look out at the Monterey area autocross events.
If it was taken in conjunction with the other two stolen Chevys they may not have had a truck and contracted with Reliable or one of the other car haulers. Hundreds of them left the area sunday night and probably never got a second look. It may turn up in their records.
good luck.

I hope he has to pay through the nose. That is called Carma that is what you get when you take advantage of people and pay your security $10 an hour

That's absolutely horrible! I'm so sorry! I hope they catch the a**holes, fry 'em, and return your car just as it sat!
I don't see the C5 folks here, I'll post a thread there and get more focus. The more people looking, the better.
Good luck!

We really did just track this **** down
My uncle texted me this picture about 30 minutes ago, said the car has been sitting on his block in San Jose for a couple days with out moving...I remembered this thread and forwarded the corvetteforums link to him. He called the guy and it definitely is his car, he's driving down to get it tonight.
