Well this is different. Normally we’re reporting on cars that have been stolen and never seen from again. This time we are happy to tell you about a car that was taken, but has been recovered intact by the Garden Grove, California police department. The Garden Grove police worked with the Orange County Auto Theft Task Force to find the car.
The 1934 Ford was stolen from in front of the owners house when thieves hooked up to the enclosed trailer which housed the car and drug it away. car owner Robert Slovick claims that the car is worth $250,000 and that he had put $75,000 of his own cash into the car during a recent restoration.
The police found the car when doing a follow up visit to a body shop only a few miles from Slovick’s house. The lawmen looked under a pile of old sheets and blankets, locating the car.
The body shop owner was arrested for possession of stolen property.
We hope he gets some time in the grey bar motel for this as it is probably not the first ill-gotten car he’s had.
