I had put up a C3 Vette Registry banner in the 78s Reunion Winners tent at Carlisle this past weekend (set it up Thursday night).

When I went by there around 1pm Sunday, it was still there. I had actually considered taking it with me at that point, but I thought, no one will take it.

I was wrong! When I returned at 4:30pm it was gone!

I have already checked with Lance and he has checked with the Carlisle ground crew. They do not have it.
I have already checked with the 4 contest winners that were under the 78s tent. They did not take it.

If you are reading this post and have it, please return it to me. I don't care who took it. I just want it back. Send it from a post office that isn't near you if you want to be anonymous about it... doesn't matter, just send it back. The thing cost me $300 and is a piece of C3 Vette Registry history. It was hung at the NCM for 1 year.

C3VR's mailing address is PO Box 202, Eagleville, PA 19408.

If you didn't take it, but may know who did, please PM me!

Thank you.

This sux AdamAngry. I too hope it turns up. What on earth would someone who's not connected to our site want the banner for.
I agree with Paul. If it needs replace it wouldn't take much of a donation if we all pitch in.

I would have to think if it was taken just so it wouldn't get stolen, the taker would have contacted Adam by now, one way or another....
Seems to be a problem at these larger shows...people see something, and just assume it's theirs for the taking...

I'm all for being optimistic a little while longer. Then, if it doesn't turn up we can all pitch in and get a new one (as mentioned before).

I doubt it was a member.

I hate to say it but John is right. My son races BMX and when the race is over at Nationals the kids go crazy rippin down banners.

I used to think that anyone who owns a Corvette, or attends events such as Carlisle, would have a little more class and respect. I guess they proved me wrong. I expect something like that at a biker show. No offense to any bikers out there, but you know what I mean. I do have some biker friends and hear from them some things that happen. Anyway, count me in also for getting a new one.

Like JT and others have said, if it was stolen, I highly doubt it was a C3VR member.  And if it was was taken by a member I'm sure they would have said something by now.  I know nothing can replace the original Adam but I'll gladly chip in to replace the lost piece of our history Unhappy

I'd bet that the A-hole that took it is NOT a Vette owner and probably not a forum  participant.
Just likes to take souvinours.
Banners like that one are irreplacable.

How many times have you looked in someone's garage and seen a big banner hanging on the wall?  I doubt if many of them are legitimate.

Count me in on the replacement drive!

Apparently, a LOT of stuff was stolen at Carlisle...there is a thread on the NCRS discussion board about stolen gas caps from the solid axle, and mid year cars. Those things ain't cheap to replace, either...
