Default Stolen '68 Camaro in SFV

Hi all,

BOLO for a red 1968 Camaro that was stolen in the San Fernando Valley (North Hollywood area) sometime overnight. This belonged to a coworker who has been restoring it for a couple years. I don't have any pictures, but I'm working on it. It looks stock with the original red paint in 5/10 condition with the original black CA license plates. The engine and interior are new but the outside looks stock, including the wheels and tires. There are no signs of broken glass and I believe it had a removable steering wheel, so it was probably loaded on a flatbed.

I'll post more details as I get them.

Thanks.

Q

It's called a hand-brake. that or devise a system which slides a thick bar through the spokes of your rims and locks in place without easy (and loud) removal.

Another option is to keep jackstands in your car, jack the car up when you park, and take the wheels off and have three buddies carry them with you wherever you go. Somebody may steal your brakes though.

Do you remember around what time this was? Thanks!

My coworker needs to dig out the photos from storage. He's in between places and was staying with a friend.

More info:
Black CA Plates: UPA201
Couple of dings on Driver side fender and door
Stray Cat stickers on side and back windows

Thanks!
