<div> Steve Salasek, owner of the unique vehicle, said he noticed the car missing on Tuesday.<br />
&#8216;I went to go get it out of the storage shed, and it was gone,&#8217; Salasek told CBS affiliate<a class="" href="http://www.kcci.com/article/police-say-thief-used-bad-paint-job-to-hide-stolen-one-of-a-kind-car/10393972" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> KCCI</a>. &#8216;It wasn&#8217;t there.&#8217;<br />
Police Chief for Marshalltown, Michael Tupper, said he credits the local community for spotting the vehicle, which would have probably been stripped for parts and never seen again given a few more hours.</div>

</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8216;If it hadn&#8217;t been for the community&#8217;s involvement and interest in this story, we probably would not have found the car,&#8217; Tupper told <a class="" href="http://www.kcci.com/article/police-say-thief-used-bad-paint-job-to-hide-stolen-one-of-a-kind-car/10393972" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">KCCI</a>.<br />
Authorities in Marshalltown say that Chamberlin had attempted to cover the vehicle&#8217;s original bright yellow exterior with black paint in order to disguise it.<br />
But given the make and model of the car, Tupper said it was highly unlikely it would have gone undetected.<br />
&#8216;It was a very unique car and I feel pretty comfortable saying it was probably the only car like this in Marshall County, maybe in the central Iowa area,&#8217; the police officer said.<br />
Despite the ordeal, Salasek said he&#8217;s happy to have his car back and plans to bring the vehicle back to its original prestige.<br />
&#8216;One way or another, it&#8217;ll come back to life,&#8217; Salasek said.</p>
