Default Stolen Car - UPDATE

Last week the trailer was recovered, it had some pretty heavy damage on it but it can be repaired, the trailer was cleaned out, but the trailer was recovered…
but on to the really good news, last night the car was recovered and it was untouched. We would like to thank San Jose PD for putting in the extra work and late nights in recovering the Nova!!!

Thank you all for your help, support and information helping us recover the Nova!!!!

Congratulations dude! I am glad to hear you got your baby back and she is all there. You will sleep well this weekend. They have a problem here too about people following racers home and then yanking the car and trailer when they are not looking. Some people are just low.

Man arrested after police find stolen goods in barn

A San Jose man suspected of numerous commercial burglaries and auto thefts throughout the Bay Area, including San Jose, was arrested Thursday when authorities found a barn in Hollister with more than $600,000 in stolen goods.

Robert Harris, 59, is believed to be responsible for numerous thefts in recent months, said San Jose police spokeswoman Gina Tepoorten.

After police learned he owned property in Hollister, they searched the barn and found several stolen items, including 10 vehicles, Harley-Davidson motorcycle parts, a tractor and big rig truck.

Authorities began the investigation after a San Jose resident reported his race car, valued at $150,000, had been stolen.

In addition to theft charges, Harris also was arrested on charges of possessing a firearm and a controlled substance for sale.
