The car club I would imagine could go after the guy who sold it to them or at least the cops could for selling stolen goods, and possession of stolen goods. It sucks that they are out 27k.

That is one dude set on finding his car. Good for him!
@Aerethan : yeah, they'll surely go after him. God you sucks at crimes when you get caught 42 years later... Although if he follows the news he might have a headstart on them... Anyone knows if there are statutes of limitations on evidence for a robbery that happened that long ago?

Regardless of if they go after him for the theft itself, the possession and sale of stolen goods(which if he's been the registered owner for 42 years I would imagine he knew about) is still quite illegal. The original owner has no reason to press charges now, but the auto club definitely does since they lost 27k on it. He may not serve any time, but I'd imagine he'd be losing any financial assets he has unless he also happens to be uber rich, which I doubt.

Well yeah, but statutes of limitation pertains to evidence (correct me on this one if I'm wrong). If there's one at let's say, 20 years, any evidence of the property being stolen will be inadmissible. I really doubt it, tho, since they probably wouldn't have given back the car in this case. Well, I'd like to know where it's going to go...

Id say that was a fairly successful criminal if he had it 42 years without anyone suspecting he stole it. Now if he stole it, and then was caught 3 streets down changing the tire, Id agree with you
