This morning I came home and found some idiots try to steal one of my bugs. It was at the bottom of my driveway partially down the street.I 1st thought it rolled there but theres no way it could have,Then a neighbor said 2 guys were trying to hook it to a truck.
The sad thing is this looks normal,it's not the 1st set of guys showin up to tow away a VW at my house.The saddest thing is there were 3 bugs here. My 67,a68,and a 64. My 67 was unlocked,the 68 is full of parts and had a tow bar hstill hooked to it.The 64 looks like hell and has no floorpans or front glass.Guess what they chose to steal? The 64! Morons! Anyway it was real fun pushin it back in the driveway.
After talking with the Police I found that old VW theft is on the rise. Be aware of 2 guys in an older,beat up chevy(white).Apparently they have been seen around town right before an old beater disapears.They took a 67 Chevelle from East ridge a few months ago.
A good point the officer shared is very few folks write down VIN info for old parts cars,so you cant prove they stole it.So if you have a car or 10 in the yard make sure to write down your info or the junk theives might take it.I wouldn't be surprised if they are scrappin them for metal.
