Andre Williams, the owner of the 1969 Chevelle and 1985 Monte Carlo hit by the forklift, reported the machine in his driveway in Omaha, Nebraska, at 3:25 am, local ABC affiliate KETV reported.
“It has to be somebody around here with a forklift within a couple blocks, or a business,” Williams told the outlet.
“They probably just didn’t like that I had these two cars.”
A video of the red forklift clearly shows the machine encroaching on Williams’ driveway and ramming into the Chevelle, which then smacked into the Monte Carlo in front of it.
Williams planned on selling the Chevelle but needed new brakes and a paint job, but wanted to keep the chameleon-painted Monte Carlo for himself.
“I put this one up for sale before, but I just decided to keep it,” Williams told KETV.
“Nobody wants to pay what I’m looking for.”
Police are still searching for the driver of the red forklift who hit Williams’ cars.
The video of the two designer cars getting destroyed has caused major shock on social media.
A post of the KETV article on Facebook received over 500 reactions and over 300 comments.
One commenter recalled marveling at Williams’ cars when they saw them in the driveway.
“I remember a few summers ago I use to always see that Monte Carlo always thought it was a nice car so sad some heartless idiot had to cause all that damage,” the commenter wrote on Facebook.
“I hope the cops find who did this.”
“I would probably cry,” another woman commented.
“I have wanted a Chevelle for years but know I can’t afford a lot of sellers asking prices but if I did and this happened.”

Some suspect the situation to be a set up, but most commenters were quick to come to Williams’ defense.
“This man invested his hard-earned money into these vehicles, and unfortunate situations can happen to anyone,” one person wrote.
“Not everyone is a scammer or trying to take advantage of others.
“He’s even offering his own money for any helpful information,” the commenter continued.
“Let’s be fair and focus on finding a solution.”
