John's Vehicle Stolen 1996

Published: November 27, 1996



When Detective Arthur Masinski and his partner, Thomas Bellino, gave chase to four men who were fighting with baseball bats on Staten Island last month, neither knew where the case would lead. The men fled in a sport utility vehicle, but were captured a few blocks away. None of them confessed to being the owner of the vehicle, and for good reason: the real owner was John F. Kennedy Jr. Using a hidden vehicle identification number, the police determined that the vehicle, a Typhoon, was reported stolen from Mr. Kennedy's neighborhood, TriBeCa, in March 1993. The man caught driving the vehicle, Mark Capichana, 29, of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, surrendered yesterday and was charged with possession of a stolen property.

Through his personal assistant, RoseMarie Terenzio, Mr. Kennedy, 36, said he had no comment. Richard Asher, a spokesman for Pontiac-GMC division of the General Motors Corporation, said there are only about 4,500 such vehicles nationwide, as the Typhoon model was discontinued after 1993.
