Classic car theft seems to be on the rise, at least based on some of the national attention it’s getting. I read a post on the HAMB about an owner that had his ‘32 stolen only to be charged with insurance fraud when he filed the claim. Something about registering his fiberglass body ‘32 with a true ‘32 vin along with some other factors at play as well (details were a little sparse), but he shared his life was a living hell for some time after the theft; definetely an interesting and eye opening thread.

Moral of the story is lock your ladies up, check on them often and hope like hell the thieves don’t find you! |
Sparse details generally means someone does not want to tell the full story. Insurance fraud is a crime and it's prosecuted aggressively. Sounds like someone insured a fiberglass car and tried to collect the value of a steel car from the insurance company.
