Between
1AM and
4AM on
Saturday,
August
8, 2009,
FOUR
Hurst/Olds
were
stolen
from 2
hotel
parking
lots
adjacent
to each
other in
Indianapolis,
Indiana.
There
were
over 125
H/O’s in
attendance
for the
Hurst/Olds
Club of
America
25th
National
Meet.
This was
a
calculated
"hit",
not a
random
crime.
The
thieves
knew we
were
going to
be
there,
they
knew
which
cars
they
wanted,
they
knew
what
they
were
doing
and they
got us!
It took
them
less
than
1 minute
to gain
entry to
a car,
have it
running
and
leaving
the
parking
lot.
They
used a
white
crew cab
pick up
truck
and
drove
into the
lot and
parked
like
they
were a
guest.
One
person
exited
the
truck
and hit
the car,
then
both
left.
They
went
back and
forth
from one
hotel to
the
other,
not
raising
suspicion.
This was
evident
from
reviewing
the
hotels
security
tapes.
Following
is a
list of
the cars
with
unique
features
about
each.
