LA 164-497

Los Angeles file 26-54042, captioned, "DIRK SUMMERS," indicates that in June 1968, a Chevrolet Corvette owned by General Motors Corporation, Los Angeles, was recovered stripped and abandoned in Chicago, Illinois. Investigation revealed that a theft report was filed with the Lyons, Illinois, Police Department by owner DIRK SUMMERS, 451 Wrightwood, Chicago. SUMMERS advised that Police Department that the vehicle had previously been reported stolen to the Los Angeles Police Department and he, SUMMERS, had recovered it, however, he failed to notify LAPD of this first recovery.

Investigation at Los Angeles revealed the vehicle had been loaned by General Motors Corporation to DIRK SUMMERS on several occasions in June 1967, for use in the television and movie industry. In June 1967, SUMMERS obtained loan of the Corvette from General Motors and after several weeks, General Motors tried unsuccessfully to recover the vehicle. Subsequent investigation by General Motors at that time revealed SUMMERS had no affiliation with the television or movie industry and had written numerous bad checks over all areas of the United States. Negotiations by SUMMERS to purchase the vehicle were never consummated. He never owned the vehicle per his claim to Lyons, Illinois, Police Department. Assistant U. S. Attorney Chicago, declined prosecution of SUMMERS and there is no indication in the Los Angeles file that he was interviewed.

California Law Enforcement Teletype System (CLETS) was checked and revealed a DIRK WAYNE SUMMERS, [illegible: handwritten/redaction mark], California Driver's License SO759225, and had an address of 3921 Deervale Drive, Sherman Oaks, California, effective 6/15/73. He was described as male, born 6/9/31, 6'2", 175 pounds, green eyes, blond hair. SUMMERS is registered owner of a 1966 Mercedes bearing license UTA 291. There are no warrants and no criminal history is indicated. He had two traffic citations in 1975-1976, at which time he was driving a 1965 Lincoln bearing license NRK 095, which is registered to DIRK WAYNE SOMMERS in Sherman Oaks, California.
