Video Footage of vent wings being stolen from '36 Studebaker in Glendale, AZ

[mbstude]

As most of you are aware, Sam and Rhonda Bailey had their '36 Dictator in Glendale, AZ and the rare vent wings on the front doors were stolen. The Baileys finally got the video footage from the Glendale PD. Does anybody recognize the thief?

I wonder what was stolen.

I the short time he was there he could not have taken the pivots.

Did he just remove the plastic?

The video apparently is either the time the camera was on my car, or all the the Glendale PD forwarded to me.The thief had enough time to cleanly remove both vent wings, which is difficult to remove the 6 total screws without rolling down the windows, then come back, roll up the driver`s side window, then wipe off the prints from the d/s door handle and passenger side glass. But the fool must of tried to remove the vent wing from the driver`s side with the glass rolled up first, because he left a nice set of hand and arm prints on the glass. As far as plastic, the pivots are chrome plated metal, there isnt any plastic. Right now I am looking for someone how can enlarge and enhance this guy`s image, so any suggestion in that area of expertise from members would be very helpful. As it stands now, if the thief comes to his senses and returns my vent wings to me or a fellow member to be forwarded to me, then I`ll let this drop. If he insists on waiting till he is found out ( and with everybodys help I`m confident this will happen) I will prosecute to the full extent of the law, I`l guarentee him that. I want to sincerely thank all those who are helping me thru this, Im truly grateful. I also want to thank Mbstude, for his time in posting the video on youtube and on facebook, hopefully this will make the thief a very well know individual.Any info please call me personally.

Sam

I sorry to hear about your vents wings.

I have talked to Sam personally and he has given me his blessing to offer my help.

I'm offering to give my address so that the person that has "borrowed" them can mail them to me with no questions asked.

I promise to the person and the members of this group that I will never give out any information concerning the pieces.

If they are not sent to me or found ..... I will assist Sam in anyway possible so that the person is prosecuted to the extant of the law.

To the person that has them.

Send them to:

Hello everyone. as you know I'm rebuilding our 1926 Studebaker / Bickle fire truck here in Canada. I am a part time fire fighter in my home town but a Detective and Forensics Specialist with Peel Regional Police. If it is okay with everyone I can have my Video Techs work on this footage to see what they can come up with. My direct work email address is alan.scott@peelpolice.on.ca if you can send me a copy of the original footage it will be better for my people to work with. Let me know your thoughts. I'm glad to hear that they obtained fingerprints from the crime scene. Profiling your criminal I would suggest checking AFIS through military records if that is possible, he does not appear to be a common thief.
