Interesting story! Thanks for sharing it with us!

The vehicle was stolen July 4, 1980. The engine was likley removed and the body left on a street in Paterson, NJ. After repeated tickets left on the car, I believe it was towed and scrapped. Two months after the theft I received a summons for ignoring the tickets. I told the local police to whom I originally reported the theft to to resolve the summons.



Egads! So you reported the vehicle stolen, yet the police issued parking tickets to you after the theft was reported. Seems strange that they never checked to see if the presumed abandoned vehicle was on file or not... especially if it was sitting on the street without an engine!

Sounds like somebody in the police department dropped the ball there!
