By 'intelligence' we mean every sort of information about the enemy and his country - the basis, in short, of our own plans and operations.
Clausewitz, On War, 1832
I repeat my post of a few weeks ago, since have only received one reply eversince. We need to consolidate all information available, so that their pattern/modus operandi can be figured out. No joke, this is WAR now!

Re: 2 more Beetles gone
I know nothing about these latest two stolen Beetles. But I do know that one of my routes into work takes me through Fordsburg, where there is always a yellow beetle with Empi 12-spoke wheels parked in the same spot. This Bug has not been parked there since I saw this post, so it may be the yellow one referred to. So, if you're offered a set of Empi 12s (I've been looking for a set for years), be suspicious.

Like Empi 5-spokes, but with 12 spokes.

Re: 2 more Beetles gone
Exactly, but with 12 spokes instead of the 10 in your pic. Although it's possible I could have miscounted; I've only seen a handful of them.

Re: 2 more Beetles gone
When I drove through Fordsburg this morning I saw the yellow Empi-wheeled Beetle parked there again, so it was not the one stolen.
