[STOLEN 280Z - from Vancouver, BC]

Are there any unique parts on the car that may show up for sale on the net and give a clue? We have lots of people on this site that are very in tune with the Z car parts markets, including in the Great White North.

 

1) It was either a joyride, or

2) It will be parted out and sold.

 

From what I know, the only thing unique about that car is how stock it appears. The red would help make it that much more noticeable on the road. I will message him via Craigslist and see if he can shed some light on this topic.

 

I believe you have summed up the scenario possibility well with those two points. Hopefully it is a case of point "1)".

 

...and, I do appreciate your non judgmental approach. I am sure no one would want to have this "please look out for the stolen Z" post turn into a "schooling the newbie" post. We all have better things to do with our time.

It'd be a lot easier to cooperate with your post if we had at least some actual info... plate would be nice, for example, as well as contact info for the owner. PD is not really all that interested in cooperating with people who call in on the emergency or dispatch lines with,

 

"Uh, I saw a red 280Z, and I heard one was stolen, so... like... maybe check it out."

"What? No, it's not mine."

"A friend? No, he's not my... I mean, yes, he - well, no."

"No, I don't know his name. Actually, I read about it on the Intern..."

*click*

 

Good luck in the recovery, tho!

 

Doc Hawk, I am not quite sure how to take your post. I know you are trying to help but, in my opinion, your delivery needs a bit of work. Regardless, your point is well taken.

 

The owner's name is Brock and his phone number is 778-998-7404. Thats all the info I have as he is a "friend" by virtue of being a Z owner. I don't know him personally. In short, I saw his post about his stolen Z in the Vancouver Craigslist and thought to pass it on to some popular Datsun forums, primarily to get the word out amongst the Datsun community.

 

...and by all means call the police if you see a BC plated Datsun in the San Diego area that resembles the one in the picture. I am sure, at the very least, they will check the license plate on their system. Although, you might agree that it is quite unlikely that the car will be driven to the states still carrying the BC stolen plates.

 

Thanks to all.

Hi everyone,

 

A friend's Red 1977 280Z was stolen in Vancouver, BC (Hamilton St. at Pender downtown for the Vancouver / BC area Z Driver members). This happened on Friday night (Nov 16) between 10pm and 1am.

 

Please keep a look out and if you see one, please call the cops with the plate. Who knows, maybe its the one. It would suck to get our cars stolen, and of course he's heartbroken. Maybe we can help.

 

Thanks
