Dumb. Why steal a documented 1954 Corvette? The owner can probably identify every part on that car. The thieves can't drive it, can't show it, can chop it and expect to sell parts.

What they can expect is to go to jail for auto theft.

I hate to say it, but it most likely will already be in a shipping container, headed for another country.

Well at least he's still got two 1954 Corvettes left in his garage
Hope the car stays intact on its way back to him though.

Only logical thing to do with it as even piecing it out would be risky business. Shame there are so many devious people

What a low blow. I hate thieves. I'd endorse taking thumbs and forefingers if caught and convicted; save the prison beds for more violent criminals.

Hope this craftsman can get help to recover his car, if not already sent in the prev mentioned shipping container.

That's a very beautiful '54 Vette. Hope they find it.

If they catch them, they should get the harshest punishment (make them drive Mustangs)
