Default Stolen Racecar

Please be on the lookout for my black 914/6 race car and white enclosed trailer. These were stolen in southern California from the shoulder of I 15 near Norco southbound side last night after two tires blew out during the transit home from Willow Springs.
Description: Black 914/6 conversion with Sheridan body (Ultimate 914). Vin number: 4752922908. 3.4L six, Weber 46's. Engine number 64C3872.
The trailer is a white Calen with unique features: double door left side, elevated ramps for car to facilitate exit of car within trailer by opening car door.
Trailer California license plate number: 4BO9640
Pictures follow. Owned and raced this car for 20 years - an old friend.

Lots of traffic cams but CHP says they don't record. I guess that means real time traffic picture only.

I think you blew your tires right in front of me! I was driving a white F250 with the car in my avatar on an open trailer. I had just left the So Cal Historic Racecar Festival at Autoclub Speedway. You mean to tell me that some pile of garbage stole your rig off the shoulder of the 15? With 2 blown tires? WTF. I will surely keep an eye open for it. I'm sorry this happened.... What's wrong with people....

If it had two blown tires, you would think there would be tracks to follow.

I would bet it was a rogue tow truck. Now it's probably sitting in some tow truck yard.

Check your tow vehicle for a tracker. I think you got ripped by the fast and furious gang.

2 rear tires blown or 2 on same side?
Lets hope its only costing storage at an impound.

Good luck in recovery.

Wayne from Pelican's 914-6 conversion was stolen April 25th in Harbor City. Is someone collecting them?
