Problem is we have not had the other plate info updated on any of the tow vehicles or trailers or other cars. So they could put all the cars on the one trailer dumped a few at another location and swapped trailer plates, what is commonly referred to as being cold plated, when you swap a plate of a similar vehicle (Escalade to Escalade) and that when the plate is run it wont come back as a "hot hit" or stolen. Believe me in all the time in Las Vegas, we looked for ways to get to pull over Denalis, Escalades, any high end vehicle that looked out of place in my area (NE side of Las Vegas). We ranked #1 in car theft for over 10 years and i helped out with "Bait Car tv show as well." Without elaborating on techniques to give scumbags an advantage, lets just say cold plated vehicles that looked out of place and got pulled over, well quite often it would be a simple VIN check and bam the car is stolen.
We put into place an initiation called "Operation Vtech " to counter gang related shootings, text parties (when a large group of teens/young people text everyone they know into crashing a party), street racing deaths, etc) to focus on stolen Honda vtechs, either transmissions, engines, or entire cars. In less than 6 months, i was #1 in the Las Vegas Metro Pd with over 70 cars or various drive trains. Many were swapped into cars from salvage yards where the entire car was clean but had a "dirty" drive train in the vehicle. We busted every body from street racers to disgruntled fired Honda Parts Manager who we executed a search warrant and found his entire garage of stolen blocks, parts, etc and 5 cars (all shells sans drivetrain).
Ive been in touch quite a few times with Billy the last few days and I hope they get these SOBS! It really aggravates me how piss poor a job the BG PD is doing since :
1. There is 5 cars missing, obviously a calculated hit.
2. This event pumps tons of money in the area and has been going since 1981.
3. The BG area gets tons of large car events every year and a theft like this could mount a serious decrease in attendance and revenue for their town by showing a half ass attitude for safety of personal property and visiting tourists since auto events is there #1 source of revenue, i guarantee it!
4. You read yellowbullet.com and obviously a father/son team who races has not been indicted by are serious persons of interests in thefts of multiple Mustangs. Diesel theft i know is very high down there as i talked to fellow friend with knowledge of it in the past few days.
Better do something about it, b/c vigilant owners will start packing heat to events and make no mistake about it, people will not compensate their safety or possession for some scumbag trying to take them of something they worked years of hard work, blood, sweat and tears to earn a right to call their own. Believe me, CCW is the way to go !!
