Residents and authorities in Orangevale are on the lookout for a vintage car that was stolen from the backyard of California Transmission on Walnut Avenue and Greenback Lane in the past week.
Joe Cava, the owner of the shop, stated that the inoperable 1928 Ford Model A was stolen sometime this week. The vehicle does not have a license plate and is not insured.
According to Cava, it’s believed that those responsible for the robbery broke chain link fences in order to reach the vehicle.
As the car was inoperable, it’s highly likely that the thieves pushed it out of the garage and into a trailer according to Cava.
The incident took place between Sunday and Tuesday morning, during which time the burglars also pilfered some tools and equipment from the garage.
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office has appealed to residents to come forward with any information about the incident.
