DES MOINES, Iowa – As part of the Des Moines Police Department’s Wanted Wednesday efforts, police are asking for the public’s help to find a classic car that was stolen from downtown last month.

Sgt. Paul Parizek, Public Information Officer for the DMPD, said the distinctive red 1978 Pontiac Trans Am was parked in the area of 4th Street and Park Street on September 19th. It was about three blocks away from the Casey’s Center, where a Jason Aldean concert was taking place during the time of the theft.

Police believe the car, which is valued at more than $50,000, was stolen between 5:00 p.m. and midnight.

It is likely the custom Iowa plates, NASTYTA, have been removed, but Sgt. Parizek said if you saw the vehicle, you’d probably remember it.

If you have any information on who took the car or where it is, you can call DMPD at 515-283-4966 or submit a tip online through www.crimestoppersofcentraliowa.com.
