John Schneider Finally Reunites With A General Lee After His Was Stolen

John Schneider from Dukes of Hazzard took to Facebook recently to announce that his General Lee got stolen by someone, along with some other belongings. The classic Dodge charger was given to him by his late wife, Alicia Allain, who died from cancer last year.

Thankfully, the actor had a glimmer of hope when he reunites with one reminiscent of his beloved vehicle, which belongs to his friend. The actor seems assured about retrieving his vehicle, and claims to have an idea of who stole the car.

My friend Joe Caldwell owns this guy right now. And this one… Is owned by Rick Lakatos and is in amazing shape,” his caption reads.

He looked cheerful as he posed in front of the orange cars with an adorable smile on his face. “This General came from both the 2005 and 2007 movies! Great to see the General Lees!!!” he gushed. Fans responded in the comments, encouraging him to be hopeful for his own. “That must be such a great feeling John! I’m sure it brings back a ton of memories for you!” someone said.

Steps closer to the thief

John recalled that a fan in Mississippi seems to know the car thief, however he has yet to confirm the name provided but reported it to the authorities. It appears John is familiar with the person holding his vehicle hostage, as he admitted to being “shocked and betrayed” upon learning who it was.

He urged his followers to give him more information and keep their eyes out for his car in hopes that it would be back in his garage soon. The 64-year-old is still very much in business since he landed his breakthrough role as Bo Derek in  Dukes of Hazzard at 18. He currently runs the John Schneider Studios (JSS) in Holden, Louisiana, which caters to independent filmmakers.
