We are Forwarding along a message from Judy Badgley that she is passing out concerning the stolen Hurst's. if you run across any of these cars or unusual parts please let us know. Between 1AM and 4AM on Saturday, August 8, 2009, FOUR Hurst/Olds were stolen from 2 hotel parking lots adjacent to each other in Indianapolis, Indiana. There were over 125 H/O's in attendance for the Hurst/Olds Club of America 25th National Meet. This was a calculated "hit", not a random crime. The thieves knew we were going to be there, they knew which cars they wanted, they knew what they were doing and they got us! It took them less than 1 minute to gain entry to a car, have it running and leaving the parking lot. They used a white crew cab pick up truck and drove into the lot and parked like they were a guest. One person exited the truck and hit the car, then both left. They went back and forth from one hotel to the other, not raising suspicion. This was evident from reviewing the hotels security tapes. Following is a list of the cars with unique features about each. All of the cars had a roof option. 1979 Hurst/Olds black and gold VIN# 3K47R9M541546 Rare factory moonroof Rare black vinyl interior – drivers seat has a small hole from a broken spring Chrome cover over the A/C pulley mounted with brass screws Crack in the RH corner of the black dash pad Switches mounted on the hood, trunk & doors from an old security system Lock to actuate the old system is still located under the left parking light.
