Stolen Papa John's Camaro found - The Detroit News
Detroit — Police confirmed Monday the recovery of a 1971 Chevrolet Camaro that belongs to John Schnatter of the Papa John’s pizza empire that was reported stolen during this year’s annual Dream Cruise festivities. Officer Shanelle Williams said the vehicle was found on the 14400 block of Pierson, north of Interstate 96 on the city’s west side. Cassandra Lewis earlier reported the Camaro, used as a promotional vehicle for the pizza company, had been inside a trailer attached to a truck that was parked at 960 E. Woodbridge at midnight Saturday. Sunday, the truck, trailer and classic car were reported missing, she said. Lewis said the Camaro was “highly marked” and used in pizza commercials and as a racing car. "We believe the pressure of the media forced them to dump the vehicle," said Sgt. "We received a 911 call about the vehicle at about 9:30 a. m. The vehicle was intact with minimal damage. "I saw the car parked between those two houses," said Webster, pointing to two brick, single-story homes on a lot filled with foot-high weeds. "I said, 'Man, that looks like that Papa John's car. I called my brother-in-law, who is a cop, and he told me to call 911. ". Asked if thought there might be free pizzas in his future for discovering the Camaro, Webster just laughed and said: "I don't need pizzas. Source: www.detroitnews.com
