The Vanishing Thieves is the title of a Hardy Boys Digest novel, written by Franklin W. Dixon. Sometimes it goes by the number of 66 in the series, a continuation of the original novels, and sometimes as the 8th, as it is the 8th published by Simon & Schuster after Grosset & Dunlap lost rights to publish new Hardy Boys books in 1979.

[edit] Plot summary

Chet Morton's cousin, Vern, is on his way to Hawaii to find a rare and valuable coin mysteriously missing from his uncle's bank vault. When he stops in Bayport, his brand-new car is stolen. The Hardys take on a double mystery-and double danger as they head for the West Coast to investigate this sinister mystery.
