    Shit-where do these scumbags come from.
    Why do they steal nice rides instead of an unroadworthy vehicle only good for parts when it is only the parts they want
    Arabs have the right idea chopping the thief's hand off

    Car has been found by the police... was attempt to be burnt... interior is ****ed.
    hoping shannons will repair it and not write it off
    upside about the fire not taking is that the cops can now finger print it hopefully they get caught so we can cut their hands off one finger at a time

    if anyone knows or hears anything about it please let us know

    There is no deterrent in this country for the low life scum who do these things. They know they'll merely get a slap on the wrist. Australia is becoming a laughable joke to the rest of the world. Where did the car get stolen from?

    If they were just joy riding, why try and burn it?

    Re: Stolen VX GTS coupe Adelaide area

    was stolen from his shed in andrews farm... the thing that seems to have saved it is that the clutch is an absolute c**t of a thing to use unless you know how... car was found a few streets over so seems like it was pushed away from house then they couldn't drive it properly. exterior is apparently still good, without him getting back to the 14th and the rest of us live in bendigo we don't know the extent of any damage can only go by what police are telling us. only conclusion we have for torching was removal of their prints etc... they also stole most of the electrical equipment from the house.
    Oh it is well insured don't worry about that, it's the rarity and emotional attachment which has him pissed off

    Looks like the mate needs to invest in some webcam security,be a good guess they may come back when they think he has replaced his electrical stuff
    Some-one may have known he was away and all was ripe for the picking
    The fact they torched the car could mean their prints are on file
