I'm a little dismayed to learn that the thief has been charged with possession of stolen property, and nobody else was arrested for anything.

Tom Hargrave: "I suspect that there is more to this story. Some municipalities have a strict limit on the number of cars you have and if you exceed the limit, they will haul them away and crush them at your expense after a reasonable number of warnings are sent to you." OR perhaps they were not showroom restored cars and he just wants to collect the insurance on them as if they were perfect. I could see someone overstating the value of their car in order to collect insurance. Donald H.

[MBZ] Crushing classic cars
"---crushing classic showpiece cars before the owners showup to claim 'em." Yeah, trying to hide/get rid of the evidence, i. e., a damn thief!

Re: [MBZ] Crushing classic cars
is this in one of the states where the local government blindly pays a pittance for cars over a certain age under the premise of taking polluters off of the road?

This just does not make any sense at all. WHy would a salvage yard crush a car without parting it out first?

Re: [MBZ] Crushing classic cars
http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/1139204.html Scott Thompson, co-owner of TT&E, said he gets about 20 police inquiries a week about metal theft. "There have just been a rash of incidents," he said. "Unfortunately, there's not a great tracking system in place, so there's only so much we can do." If a car is less than 10 years old, Thompson explained, the person bringing it in must have a notarized title. But for older cars, all a person needs is the make, model and vehicle identification number. "We just try and use common sense," Thompson said. -- Apparently, common sense involves crushing showpieces before anybody shows up to claim them.

[MBZ] Crushing classic cars
Story in Raleigh paper last week: classic car enthusiast/mechanic had seven restored, "classic" cars. At his garage, he got a call from a friend asking, "Where you takin' the '73 Chevvy?" Answer, "Nowhere, whaddaya mean?" Friend said, "Just saw it go past here on a truck." Suspicious, the owner/mechanic rushed to auto salvage yard nearby. They had already crushed his restored, showroom-condition '73 Chevvy with 59 kmi and his equally restored '60's Chrysler! Oughta hang the thief AND the salvage yard guy!
