Billie Joe Armstrong's Stolen 1962 Chevy Nova Found Abandoned In The City Of Orange

COSTA MESA (CBSLA) — Green Day frontman's Billie Joe Armstrong's 1962 Chevy Nova has been recovered, but some of the guitars and an amplifier that were stolen with it are still missing, police said Wednesday.

The white, two-door 1962 Chevrolet Nova was found abandoned Tuesday night in the area of El Modena in the City of Orange, according to Costa Mesa police. The vehicle, along with the musical instruments, were stolen between last Friday afternoon and Saturday from a commercial business in the 100 block of Victoria Street in Costa Mesa.

Also stolen were a burnt orange Aria Pro II V guitar, a champagne-colored Roland G-707, and an amp, but those items have not been recovered.

Armstrong, Green Day's lead singer and a guitarist, had made his own public plea for help in finding his car, saying it is "near and dear to all our hearts and has been in the GD family for over 30 years."

No arrests have been made.
