Alert! Stolen Caterham, Parker, CO USA

[Colorado7er]

Hi everyone,

 

Unfortunate news: Ben Wofford (of Rocky Mountain Sports cars fame) had his unbuilt Caterham SV kit stolen on Saturday, June 20.

 

I'm posting this to share with the community so we can all work to help make sure Ben gets his Seven back.

 

Pics to follow soon. In the meantime, here is Ben's description:

Sorry to hear M8

The Caterham is going to be impossible to sell and hopefully the Twats that stole it don't know anything about Caterhams so if they try to sell it will raise a red flag.

 

Please keep us posted o the outcome

The trailer was recovered (more or less -- some of the easy-to-remove bits on it had been stripped -- though the perps still left the plates on!)

Alas, no sign -- yet -- of the kit that was inside.

 

Thanks for monitoring. Our community may yet prove to be the way Ben's kit is recovered.

I would think it would be pretty difficult to move that kit without one of use getting wind of it. Hopefully.

Let's hope they are candidates for Jay Leno's "Stupid Criminals" award.
