On December 11 at approximately 8:00 a.m., Neal Jackson arrived at his Mattress Express store in Cornelius, North Carolina, to find his 2014 24-foot V-nose Diamond enclosed cargo trailer missing from the parking lot. Inside was a replica of a 1969 Roger Penske Trans-Am Camaro, built from an ASA tube frame stock car wrapped in 1969 Camaro bodywork. Can you help Neal find his missing Camaro and trailer?
Per the police report, the trailer and car were both in the parking lot when Neal locked up the store at 8:00 p.m. on December 10, meaning that the theft occurred in the 12 hour span in between. The cargo trailer is white, with no external markings, and it was carrying a North Carolina license plate reading AC45178 at the time of the theft. The trailer’s VIN is 53NBE2420E1018425, and Neal tells us that there’s a bit of wrinkled metal on the trailer’s right rear, where the door folds, courtesy of a parking lot run-in.
Inside the trailer was Neal’s Penske replica Camaro, built from an ASA stock car chassis by Chuck Mallet. In addition to the car’s distinctive livery (hand painted, another potential help in identifying the car), much of the work carried out by Chuck Mallet (including the wiring harness and ECM) contains the initials CLM. Also unique is the car’s red dash and door panels, along with the pinstriping on the hood and rear. Since the car was built from a tube frame chassis stock car, it does not carry a VIN. To make matters worse, the car was not insured, and Neal estimates its value at $100,000.
Neal is offering a reward for information leading to the recovery of the car, and he can be reached at (704) 778-9966. The Cornelius Police Department is also working on recovering the car and trailer, and they can be reached at (704) 892-1363; if calling, reference case report OCA 141211080001.
