A 102-year-old Overland convertible was reported stolen, with authorities seeking public assistance 15 months after the theft.

In a surprising delay that has complicated investigative efforts, a 1922 Overland convertible was only recently reported stolen, despite the theft occurring over a year ago in January 2023. The Door County Sheriff's Office has now issued a public appeal for information regarding the antique vehicle, which was taken from a farm in the Brussels area of southern Door County, Wisconsin.

The antique car, described as tan with black fenders, running boards, and brownish wooden wheels, is a unique and valuable piece of automotive history. At the time of the theft, the car was operational and well-maintained, adding to its significance as a collectible item. The late reporting of the theft, which Sgt. Investigator Chris Neuville attributed to the elderly owner’s initial hesitation to involve authorities, has posed significant challenges to the recovery efforts.
