Stolen Fords recovered

FB won't let me copy the picture. The two stolen Fords, a roadster and a pickup were recovered. Two men were caught and multiple charges will be issued.

If you can't copy the picture itself, you can put it at the middle of your screen and take a screen shot, then open the screen shot in a graphics program and save it.

Article sez the thieves traded the Ts for a Lexus and Infiniti?

Sounds like they “stole” four cars in total!

I don't understand... they look like such fine, upstanding citizens... :? :lol: :roll:

In the old days, The T was a family's horse... and back then, they had a set penalty for horse thieves... :mrgreen:

Wow, usually when old stuff disappears it's gone for good. Glad to see the bodyshop owners co-operated with the policemen--

Hey that's the town next to where I live. I guess I need to keep a better eye on my Ts.

Geez! And here I thought three pedals on the floor were an effective anti-theft device.

I don't think that they "co-operated", blind-luck that the deputy came to the body shop for a different case and found the stolen property.

I think you need to keep your eyes peeled mostly if they're out on bond or when they're parolled :lol:

It looks like the news people switched identifications: The cars shown are a 1925 Pickup Truck and a 1927 Roadster, not the other way around.

I wonder what the motivation was to steal them
Not a very desirable car to steal or joyride in
