In a handout photo provided by the Customs and Border Protection, a 1965 Volkswagen Beetle stolen 40 years ago in Tennessee is seen in Detroit. Federal agents making a routine check of the car’s paperwork learned that the car was reported stolen in Knoxville in 1974. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Ken Hammond says agents made the discovery Jan. 30 as it was being shipped by rail to Canada from Detroit. Hammond says the Beetle was going to be restored in Finland. (AP Photo/Customs and Border Protection,)
