Portland OR A-body meet

You need to read that more throughly. Only the STRIPPED BODY SHELL and some of the alleged parts have been returned. There is much still missing

I use the term "alleged parts" because no one seems to know (yet) whether what was returned is actually what was in the car beforehand, or something Sitton rounded up "for show."

But there's more to it than that. Evidence, and witnesses indicate that it was STRIPPED RECENTLY and PROBABLY was stripped AFTER Sitton found out that White knew he (Sitton) had the car.

In other words, in very recent history, it could be proven that this was a complete, assembled, perhaps running and drivable car.

This is not a crime. It is many "crimes."

Auto theft

Possesion of stolen property

Fraud

Conspiracy

Lying to police (that IS a crime!!)

Whatever Oregon calls "chop shopping" a car illegally

And it may / should be a Federal rap. There is evidence this involved crossing state lines.

and a few more.
