Stolen Race car

Bob Gullett · 10-17-2019, 06:56 PM

Just read on Facebook that Lindy Lindholm had his trailer stolen with his 74 I/SA Firebird
in it. Stolen out of Anaheim CA. Hope they find Lindy's car and get it back to him and the people who are responsible brought to justice.

That’s some terrible news Bob, .....hoping for a good ending....

Attention racers, this week alone there have been TWO race car trailers and Lindy s race car and trailer stolen....Be proactive, a trailer GPS is a good tool to prevent disaster.....

Well that absolutely rots... I just raced Lindy and his Firebird @ Sonoma earlier this Summer. Hope it gets back to him!!!

Would be real interested in hearing recommendations and experiences from those racers employing trailer GPS solutions...

I've been looking to get a trailer gps, along with a gps tracker for a classic street car, anyone have any recommendations? There are so many out there with such a range in prices I don't even know which ones are good.

I've been using an Optimus tracker for years. A very simple device that will run off its battery for a weekend at the track or can be hard-wired. Cheapest subscription I've found at $19.95/month.

Nothing to offer. Just want to bump to the top. Thieves (and liars), nothing worse.

Oh man.....having had this happen to me I know exactly how this feels. It’s like losing a member of the family - and you run the entire spectrum of emotions from anger, grief, disbelief, more anger, more grief etc. In my case I found out who did it, but was unable to recover the car mostly due to apathy on the part of the police departments who were in a position to help.

It’s been almost 5 years now since my Camaro was stolen....and I’m still not over it. I’ll say some prayers that Lindy has a better outcome than I did. This sucks!!!!
