The Kansas City Star reports that employees of A to Z Theatrical Supply and
Service reported the Thursday morning theft.
CEO James Hunter says the car “has hundreds of hours of highly skilled
artisans involved in creating this very unique piece.”
The replica was built by hand in 2015 and is part of a set design package
popular with high school and community theater groups nationwide.
The car was stored in a locked trailer parked near the company’s building.
Surveillance video captured the trailer being driven away.
