Surveillance video captured the moment a thief brazenly escaped with a beloved vintage airplane in Torrance.
The plane's owner, Anis Pradhan, is devastated after dedicating years to restoring the beloved airplane. The aircraft was not only a passion of Pradhan’s but was meant to be used for training underprivileged children who aspired to be pilots.
The plane was stored inside a custom Airstream trailer at a Torrance warehouse parking lot on the 22800 block of Lockness Avenue near Sepulveda Boulevard. On Jan. 3, security footage captured the moment the suspect pulled up, hitched the trailer to their white pickup truck and hauled it away. "I'm pretty devastated," Pradhan said. "They broke a lock pad on the gate, opened the gate and they came in and just pulled it out of there."
KTLA's John Fenoglio reports on Jan. 13, 2024.

It’s so easy to secure a trailer from being stolen in so many ways but yet people don’t and this is what happens.

Thieves steals everything rather it's beneficial towards them or just to steal it. Seriously, what are they going to do with a plane and not get notice? I don't understand, They work pretty hard to steal stuff. Harder than they would on a regular job.(That's crazy)!

For over 70 years my father never lost his love of flying. He even built/restored planes in our garage that he flew himself. I can appreciate this mans passion and wanting to spread the love. My heart goes out to his selfless cause. I wish him well. Insurance could never replace what he has invested emotionally.

I unfortunately saw the trailer with plane inside burned down Thu morning in a Long Beach industrial area. A fire truck put it out so I’m surprised it wasn’t reported to police. I called the LAPD Harbor Division and left a message because nobody picked up. I have photos and know the time it must have been set on fire, along with local businesses that may have cameras on the street and a homeless woman camped across the street that may have seen the culprits. If anyone knows how to contact the owner or investigators let me know. Feel so bad for this guy.

It’s so small it could takeoff on the street. Maybe they are going to use it for nefarious activities? they came prepared to grab it😮

@joenodden 8 месяцев назад

There's no getting away with it so long as they stay in the country. Edit: Damn I see it got destroyed. Why? If it wasn't what they were after, what do they get out of burning it? Removing fingerprints maybe? They'll burn stuff to avoid prints but won't wear gloves? None of this makes sense.

@johnhoney5089 8 месяцев назад

@@realhamonwry8620Eh, I have autism and even I wouldn't have a hot take like that. In all reality the plane's probably going to end up going to the cartel, though that's just my guess. I know those guys love their drug planes.
