The Buncombe County (North Carolina) Sheriff’s Office has made an arrest in a break-in involving retired NASCAR Cup driver Dave Marcis. He was out of town with the burglary took place, and several irreplaceable items of NASCAR memorabilia were among the many things stolen.
…
Now, an arrest has been made after a stranger messaged Shawna Beam (the daughter of Marcis) on Facebook.
Per WLOS News 13, who interviewed Beam, a stranger informed her that they had purchased some of what they now believed to be items stolen from the Marcis home at a local flea market in Fletcher, North Carolina. That information led to the arrest of at least one suspect at the time of writing for this piece. They now face felony charges of breaking-and-entering.
Unfortunately, not everything was recovered, and most of it held real sentimental value for the retired racer.
…
“He was gifted some Rolex watches from Roger Penske when he retired, and they took those,” said Beam, who added that one-of-kind rings and rifles, and even a firesuit were taken. One of the stolen rifles was a gift from Dale Earnhardt Sr., who was good friends with Marcis.
