Stolen Porsche 356 from 1955
05/24/2013
While many collectors and owners of classic car rarities are rubbing their hands in glee at the steady increase in value, the rising prices of classic cars are also having a negative impact. The theft of expensive automotive rarities is becoming a lucrative business. And unfortunately, the old cars have little to offer against well-equipped gangs of thieves.
On May 17/18, 2013 (shortly after midnight), brazen criminals stole a 1955 Porsche 356 right in front of the entrance to the Steigenberger Hotel in Bad Neuenahr by first breaking open the passenger door and then simply towing the car away in a limousine. The whole operation took place in just a few minutes, so obviously no one was able to intervene.
The unfortunate owner is now looking for clues to the perpetrators and the whereabouts of his vehicle (chassis 54146, engine P61327, license plate MG-PK 356H). He has even set up a special website for this purpose . We wish him luck if the car could be found again.
