#1 "Joseph McDonald reported it stolen in 1974. He says a phone number left by McDonald no longer works"
No sh*t, Sherlock. Everyone in the room that had a telephone number in '74 and still has the same number, raise your hand. Anyone,... Buehler, anyone?

#2 I don't have the same number, in fact the house was burnd and I suspect the number has been re-assigned.

NOTE "WAS" burned. They did Jail time for it. And are still paying restitution (Pitifully slow) $100 per month.

#3 Detroit Free Press has this:
KNOXVILLE For 40 years, Joseph MacDonald says he has been wondering where his 1965 Volkswagen Beetle ended up.

"It was a faded red with a black convertible top and it had shiny chrome hubcaps," he described.

MacDonald has a car title for a 1965 Beetle, the car he drove while majoring in English at UT. The title shows MacDonald's signature and that he bought the VW Bug on December 3, 1973. But in December 1974, MacDonald says he reported his car stolen to the Knoxville Police Department.
