Adam Carolla Show
Stayton Bonner & Joe Ford on the Worldwide Hunt for A Stolen $7 Million Car
03 Sep 2025
On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam kicks things off by sounding off on a bizarre story about a woman who discovered swastika-shaped tiling in her basement and is now suing the home seller for not disclosing it. Adam calls out the performative outrage behind her lawsuit and shares his own frustrations with the culture of virtue signaling. He also plays a clip from one of his recent vlogs, where he visited Home Depot and criticized the city of Malibu for its overly restrictive regulations regarding the cutting of pressure-treated lumber. In the news, Elisha Krauss joins Adam to cover the biggest trending headlines, starting with Ilhan Omar’s explosive financial disclosures revealing a net worth of up to $30 million—despite her repeated claims that she is “not a millionaire.” They also react to the retirement announcement of one of the Democrats’ longest-serving House members, and break down the viral moment when Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek snatched a signed hat from a child at the US Open. Szczerek has since issued a public apology, but Adam and Elisha question whether that’s enough to undo the bad optics of the viral footage.Later, author Stayton Bonner and private investigator Joe Ford stop by to discuss The Million-Dollar Car Detective: Inside the Worldwide Hunt for a Stolen $7 Million Car. Joe and Stayton recount the incredible real-life heist of a 1938 Talbot-Lago T150C-SS Teardrop coupe—one of the rarest and most beautiful cars in existence—and the decades-long investigation that followed. They share how the trail went cold for years before Joe got a tip that reignited the search, leading to an international chase involving the FBI, Interpol, and a global crime ring. Along the way, Adam gets Joe’s take on other legendary missing cars, including James Dean’s infamous Porsche.Get it on.
