Hinch Investigations Case # 24-0011

Warren, OR – A classic 1964 Chevrolet Nova, vanished from a residence in Warren on September 9th 2023. While its matte black paint job might help it blend in, the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office is urging the public to keep an eye out for this iconic muscle car.

The Sting: Witnesses have reported possible sightings of the stolen Nova in the Sutherlin/Winston area, fueling speculation that the vehicle may have undergone a fraudulent VIN switch. This deceptive practice allows thieves to obscure the vehicle’s true identity, making it difficult to trace and potentially reselling it as a legitimate purchase.

A Life of Crime? One theory suggests the Nova may have fallen into the hands of an individual desperate to maintain a façade of legitimacy. This individual may be knowingly involved in a fraudulent transaction, hoping to avoid the consequences of their actions.

The Distance Factor: The distance between Warren and Sutherlin, OR, is approximately 190 miles. This distance could indicate a swift and deliberate attempt to move the stolen vehicle out of the immediate area.

The Nova’s Legacy: The 1964 Chevrolet Nova, a compact car known for its affordability and performance, holds a significant place in automotive history. However, its popularity has unfortunately made it a target for thieves.

Stolen 911 is urging anyone with information regarding the stolen Nova to come forward. Even seemingly insignificant details could prove crucial in locating this classic vehicle and bringing the perpetrators to justice.
