October 14, 1985
Arriving a little before midnight from his 2nd place finish in St. Louis, Horst Kroll parked his tow vehicle at the shop and rushed home for a few hours sleep. Locked in a Championship battle with one race to go, Kroll was dealt another unexpected blow. Upon arrival at his shop in the morning, Horst discovered his truck, trailer and beloved KR3 Frissbee Can-Am car missing. The car was later found in a farmer's field north of Oshawa. Missing was the spare VDS engine and the car was in pieces from an attempt to remove the main engine. The police told Kroll probably the only reason the car wasn't torched was the thief's were not done and were planing a return to finish the job. Not only could the season have been lost, but Kroll admitted later it could have meant the end of his career.
