f.f.jones Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 The owners are hoping for the public’s help. Kansas City police are reporting that car thieves broke into a storage facility between Wednesday and Friday of last week, and stole 10 cars. The cars were not part of one single collection, so many owners have been devastated by this heist. Three have been recovered, but the majority, some project cars, are still out there somewhere. A 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible gold with gold wire wheels, white top has been reported as spotted around the area. In a Facebook group post about the theft, several people have chimed in that they have seen it. Anyone with information can anonymously call 816-474-TIPS. List of stolen vehicles provided by victims: • 1970 Ford Mustang Mach1 fastback white w/ bright red interior. (KS License Plate: 250 471) • 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible, Gold with Gold wire wheels and white top. (No tag) • 2001 BMW Z3 Atlantic blue, tan top, tan interior (MO License Plate: YD7 X4L) • 1997 Chevrolet Corvette coupe, silver, auto.

SC38dls Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I think the title might need to be changed. KS is Kansas. KY is Kentucky. Kansas City is in KS and MO. MO is Missouri, both KS & MO are west of the Mississippi River KY is east of the Mississippi River. It would be a rather long ride each day you wanted to drive your car and had to go to the storage facility to get it. LOL dave s 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original post also listed the stolen Cutlass as a Buick Oldsmobile! I searched for the article and Yahoo has corrected the headline, but still calls the Cutlass a Buick Oldsmobile. https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/10-classic-collector-cars-stolen-211500747.html Edited February 17, 2022 by f.f.jones (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL dave s Agree- Living here in New Orleans, Louisiana - our state postal abbreviation is LA Los Angeles "Should" be abbreviated L.A. but the two are often mistaken in print.

The White House is actually in Washington District of Columbia. A lot of people don’t know the DC is the District of Columbia. Geography should still be taught along with history in our schools. dave s 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some don't even know there is a state of Washington, much less where it is. If it weren't for zip codes, God only knows what might happen to most of our snail-mail.

SC38dls Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) Without zip codes I bet any snail mail bills would somehow still get delivered in record time. Did you know the USPS at one time was talking about finding a way to charge for email bills. Thank goodness they couldn’t figure out how to do it or our emails would take 10 days instead of seconds ! 😳 dave s Edited February 18, 2022 by SC38dls (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Precisely the reason why you should NOT use the two-digit postal code when identifying a state. Too many people (probably a vast majority) think that a postal code is an abbreviation. It is NOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
