www.RogersRaceTeam.com I've created a site for the flyer!!! Please spread the word, the flyer, this post, whatever you can. Thanks

My dad's hot rods were stolen out of the garage during the early morning Wednesday 6/16/10. The camaro is unmistakable...pro street, show car, tubbed, with a hood scoop as tall as the car. The hood is off the camaro in the pictures but when it is on, it is VERY distinguishable. It's as high as the roof! A 8" cowl induction with a pro mod scoop on top of that. Even if it's a different color you couldn't ignore that part.

55 is tubbed also, interior is gutted but the dash is a royal blue. Both have motors with blowers/superchargers. Both cars are tubbed out with tires 18" wide on each side. Pro-street style. The picture of the 55 was taken before the tubbs.

Cars were in jonesboro, GA at my moms house. 55 was in the driveway and camaro was in the garage. They moved here escalade to the other side of the street, snatched the 55, busted a panel out of the garage, broke in and drug the camaro out. We think they were taken with a repo/snatch truck considering how and where things were done. The cars would be moved on a rollback wrecker, trailer, or with the repo truck. They wouldn't be driving them.

My dad passed away 2 months ago so this weekend was going to be hard enough...now this has just made it worse! He had left the cars to me and my sister. They are worth about $80k+ but the sentimental value outweighs that substantially. HAPPY to pay a sizeable reweard for any information leading to the recovery.

Any help anyone can provide is greatly appreciated! Put out the word, put up a picture, whatever you can do please. They could be in TX by now but the internet travels pretty far too! Could have changed colors.

They also took a car trailer. Not a normal trailer, it is a tilt trailer. No ramps, the entire bed tilts down and you drive the car up on it. It was black. Had a distinguishable crease/dent on the lip of it where someone tried to load a forklift on it once. I'm hoping they are careless with the trailer and leave it out somewhere to lead us to them...that's all I got right now is hope...

I'll certainly keep an eye out in my neck of the woods, but make sure you post this on as many forums as possible. Also include as much info about valuable parts as you can, such as who built the motor, heads, what rear end they had etc.

I hate to see stuff like this but I've seen a few success stories because people posted up all over the internets.

Oh my!! This sucks!! I would have to say who ever took them knows your family cause there's no way people would be just riding through the neiborhood and know what you have in the garage.. I would be looking at EVERYONE you know cause they might not be to far from where you are! I have a friend that had a CRX that had about 10g in it get stolen only to find out it was one of his "friends" friend.. So I would def look close around your group of people too! I'm soooo sorry to here this happen to you!! I know this has to be tough times for you my prayers go out to you and your family!! Ill keep an eye out for it up here.. I work in the auto painting business so ill have cville on the look out with all the guys up here that deal with cars!! Good luck man and keep us posted..

That's one reason I hate putting things up for sale (just sold a truck in the local classifieds). You get random strangers coming over to look at your stuff. And if you're paranoid like me, it REALLY goes against the grain. Having someone come over to your house to look at something you put up for sale is basically inviting them in to scope the place out.

That SUCKS! I'm local so I'll keep an eye out for ya. I also live not too far from a drag strip so I can go there sometime and look around.
 
I'd take a guess the poeple who did this know your father has passed and had knowledge of the cars.

The people responsible travel the same car 'crowds' you and/ or father do; parts will turn up first.

What have the police said?

Sorry this comes on the heals of your fathers passing too:(
