Pat,
I sent an email out to everyone I know who would know what a 62 Corvette is yesterday!
My wife Stacy who you met at the races is asking all around the Pacific Grove High School (where she works) to see if anyone around has heard or seen anything. Our local news talks about three cars stolen 2 Impalas and a 57 Chevy and they do not talk about your car and she will be asking her friend (PG Sargent) why they are not discussing your car in the media???? I was mad and upset for you and Terry all night and I pray that Carma gets the A holes who did this!
Our thoughts are with you both and we hope your 62 is found and in good shape.
Hal

Are they doing a remake of "Gone in 60 Seconds"? My guess it's going to South America or Russia.

Thanks a lot Hal!

Yea, it doesn't make sense why my car is not being discussed.

I did pay for a picture and a write-up that will be coming out in the Pine Cone Newspaper.

Additionally, the publisher told me that they are going to run a news story on it as well.

Hopefully that will generate some discussion!

Thanks a lot for your support!

We'll be talking with you soon,

Pat

To the owners may you previal in the end how ever it should be.

Hey Randy,

Thanks for posting this. I spoke with the reporter there last Friday. He did a great job getting the message out.

This is our local (Placerville), hometown newspaper.

Also, how far are you from California Ave? We have some friends who inherited a house on that street in the Willow Glen area. Beautiful area!

Pat, We're a couple of miles away from California Ave, in a relatively newer part of Willow Glen (built in the late 1950's to early 1960's). I grew up in the area, so I am kind of biased towards it.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that your car turns up. I know the odds are tough, but I'm keeping the faith...

It's true! I just got off the phone with Pat and he has the car on his trailer waiting to go home later today! His wife Terry called me last night, very excited, saying that they thought somebody in San Jose might have spotted the car parked near San Jose State. Pat was on another phone talking to the guy who had spotted it and was working on getting photos to verify it. Once he got them he was sure it was his Vette and I contacted SJPD to have them go out to recover it. Awesome news! It's definitely worse for the wear and missing the hardtop but Pat and Terry are absolutely thrilled to have it back.
