Default 356 STOLEN in GERMANY!! this weekend

Help us finding Thorkil Simonsen’s 1956 Porsche 356 A! This beautiful and prize winning old car was stolen between 10 and 11 August. Some bastards took it from the parking lot at Berghotel Hohe-Acht close to German Nüburgring. Thorkil has owned the car since 1970. And he desperately wants it back, which is why he offers a BIG reward for information, that can lead him directly to the car. The car is hopefully still in Germany or somewhere in Europe. The car has some characteristics: Black Danish plate (H12 356), special wheels with center nuts, center mounted Sebring muffler, Speedster seats and Les Lestun wooden steering wheel. You can call Thorkil at +45 40721284 or mail simonsen-356@c.dk. Let us help him getting the old Porsche back in the garage again —

Beautiful looking car. The owner must be devastated. The 15,000 Euro reward for its return should help get results. GL finding the culprits. Gotta be hard selling something like this on the open market.

Very sad.

Let me copy this to the 997gt3 section. I know that a lot of European friends read it.
I will make it a sticky for a few days.

Best of luck finding it.

Hope it did not end up in a shipping container and headed east.

They used to hang horse thieves. Why not hang car thieves?
