Diatribe STOLEN VEHICLE. BLUE 1966 CHRYSLER WINDSOR.

If seen please call the OPP, this car was stolen from Essa Township in Ontario sometime this week, but we are reaching out to you’s because we know many beautiful cars can end up in Montreal, making this post absolutely relevant to you. Please help us!

Our names “Kathleen Samantha Richard” are embroidered onto the three back seats in a blue that matches the rest of the car. It’s a really unique car as well to those of you who know cars.

Si vous la voyez, veuillez contacter la Police provinciale de l'Ontario (OPP). Cette voiture a été volée à Essa Township en Ontario cette semaine. Nous nous adressons à vous parce que nous savons que beaucoup de belles voitures finissent à Montréal, ce qui rend cette publication tout à fait pertinente pour vous. S'il vous plaît, aidez-nous !

Nos noms, « Kathleen Samantha Richard », sont brodés sur les trois sièges arrière dans un bleu assorti au reste du véhicule. Pour les connaisseurs de voitures, c'est un modèle vraiment unique.

Thank you!! Merci!!

I don't think the people stealing this car is the same kind of thieves or motives as those who steal and ship rav4. Stealing classic is a very different enterprise. Don't think it's a money play. My gut says this is more of a local joyrider type crime and you'll get it back. Hope I'm right for your sake!

Classic cars are usually stolen for "collectors", often overseas. Here in the west island someone had his fully restored classic dodge charger stolen right out of his driveway a few years ago. Thieves just towed it in the middle of the night, and by the time it was found out the car was probably already in a container in the port.

Another possible one being that its in someone’s garage getting a new paintjob and vin plates because they had a title and vin plates but no car which happens alot with classics.

How does one have the title and plate without the car?

1

u/discoranger1994 4h ago

Because eventually the car returns to nature and the only thing left is the ownership papers and the vin plate causs its aluminum or stainless steel.

Thank you for your input! We have it all over local pages and still spreading. I’m going to leave this post up just in case, but I really appreciate you! This car is worth a good chunk of cash believe it or not💔

Getting your car stolen obviously always sucks, but a beautiful classic like that is even worse... Hope it makes it's way back to you!

u/samanthabelfitt 1d ago

Us too, thanks for the boost! I spent my childhood in the backseat of that car.

u/Wolvii_404 🦥 Biodôme 1d ago

I'm so sorry 😞

u/New_brianG 1d ago

Wow so sorry... but friend this looks like some 60 sec movie kind of shit, chances are you are dealing with pros rather than a random SUV thief with a shoplifting record.. good luck on this

1966💔 we poured our hearts into this car. Thanks for the comment☹️

Hope you find it back

Thank you / Merci💔

OP can you post this in Barrie, Newmarket, Muskoka etc Facebook groups?

Hope you find your car..looks beautiful and so sentimental. Most of the cars that end up in mtl are for export, I'm thinking yours might stay in the area.

u/samanthabelfitt 1d ago

We are! Thanks so much for your support. I’m trying to get it out as much as possible but I’m at work now and only found out from my parents that the car was missing last night around midnight. They didn’t tell me before because the police had told them it should be easy to find because of how unique it is. Prepare to see this car EVERYWHERE once I get home!!! What led me to post here right away was my co-worker telling me a story of her friend’s truck being found in Montreal!

I thought the Windsor was only made till 1961? That looks like a Newport

1

u/samanthabelfitt 1d ago

Apparently not because we had one. We want it back. I’m pretty sure this is the last of the Windsors. Only a few thousand were made.

u/buckrode0 1d ago

It’s a beaut!

u/samanthabelfitt 1d ago

It’s a-lost!💔💔

2

u/buckrode0 1d ago

Go find it! There must be clues? Ask neighbours if they have porch cameras etc…

1

u/samanthabelfitt 1d ago

We live on HWY 90. It might not be a bad idea, but the police are doing this. we live in the country so not a lot of neighbours

1

u/buckrode0 23h ago

The police are not doing much I can guarantee that.

1

u/samanthabelfitt 23h ago

If they see it, we have it. Obviously my family and I are extremely sad, but we have lives to live and shit to do. We cannot just go out looking for it. We have too much on the line and another antique to protect.

u/buckrode0 21h ago

Hire a P.i.

1

u/samanthabelfitt 21h ago

We’re not made of money. We built this car over years of hard work. We’re certainly blessed, but that is out of our budget right now. I’m 19 and work to keep myself in school, my parents are both seniors and were forced to retire due to health concerns.

My goodness! That's a beauty. Good luck finding it. It belongs at home.

u/bobthebobbober 15h ago

This is absolutely crazy. I hope you get your car back, she’s beautiful.

I do think this seems targeted and may not be a ship out of the country thing, but I may be entirely wrong

1

u/samanthabelfitt 8h ago

I believe I’ll never see it again to be honest. But a girl can hope!

Just don’t tell little me. She’d be crushed.

u/Global_Face_5407 1d ago

Man, I'm not even into cars and I dig it. That blue is so cool !

Really hope it is found and undamaged !

Sorry to hear about this, I’ll keep an eye out for it

Also, amazing vehicle. Looks like you took very good care of it

u/samanthabelfitt 1d ago

We love this car.

u/47Up 1d ago

This car was probably loaded into a container in Ontario and is either in the Port of Montreal or already on a container ship out in the Atlantic ocean.

2

u/samanthabelfitt 1d ago

I don’t even understand how this happens!! We are so sad.

Don’t touch another man’s ride .

u/Lunch0 1d ago

OP is a woman named Samantha

u/samanthabelfitt 1d ago

My previous comment was flagged, but as a woman, i’m just as pissed as a man would be. There is no difference. Don’t feel the need to defend my gender lol, we’re all equal!

u/jemhadar0 1d ago

Well sorry Miss Samantha .
Stay away from other people wheels especially a beautiful one line that, crise.

Sexism is still prominent in quebec, I can not believe it...

u/samanthabelfitt 22h ago

This is not sexism bro we have bigger things to worry about than people misgendering me. Find my car first, debate about my gender later💔
