The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office reported that the break-in occurred at a home in the 2200 block of Valley Drive sometime in the 24 hours preceding when it was reported Monday. According to deputies, a sliding glass door in the back of the house was smashed, allowing the intruder — or intruders — to gain entry.
The home was ransacked, and the TV, tools and Chevelle were all stolen.The Chevelle is a black, two-door vehicle and may have sustained damage to the left rear corner and right side when it was being driven out of the garage. Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Geoffrey Fox said there was damage to the garage in the area of where the Chevelle was parked.
Deputies do not have any suspect information to release at this time, and the still incident is under investigation.
Anyone with information regarding this break-in is encouraged to call the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office anonymous tip line at 734-973-7711 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800 SPEAK UP (773-2537).

that not nice thieves are everywhere. it sad when things we work so hard to buy are just robbed.not just the car, but any thing of value what are not the parents teaching these supposely future leaders of our world IT only takes a handful and yes one day they will gets theirs but for now.we always have to be on alert even when we go into a store we lock our car. but as we see here thieves break what ever it takes to get in. also your kids friends may be caseing your home I tell my kids dont be bringing random people over to our house it is sad we have to do that .but it is lately the way of our world.

I hope this is recovered. I wish the three times my car was stolen it had this much attention. This was even picked up on Detroit television.

that sucks, ypsi has turned to crime. the neighborhood changed dramatically after the property value crash of 2009 and Hydramatic closed . before i knew it there were people I had never seen before all over. Face it, the factory's that employed the people of Ypsilanti are gone and people have nowhere to work and are getting desperate.

Ouch! As the owner of a beloved classic car, I cannot imagine anything happening to it! Hope you recover it soon!

That car would be hard to miss if spotted. Not too many 60s muscle cars cluttering up the streets. The car is most likely close by hidden in some garage. Hope they get caught.
