The scumbags! Really sucks this happened.

We had stuff stolen off our roof rack once & that was bad enough to make me feel sick & pissed off.

Hope the police can get some fingerprints.

There seems to be a lot of Patrols getting the number at the moment, I know of at least 5 in the last week and they have been all over the country. I think its time for more than cameras Geoff, hope all the good bits are still ok

Good to see you still have the car and with not a lot of damage.

They must have been a classy lot as they obviously went for the best one around......as you wouldn't take the threat of a 110kg angry bogan in jocks chasing you lightly....

Sure do. But with 110kg of angry bogan after them, wearing nothing but jocks, I'm sure they'd have been fleet of foot......

wow that leaves a sour taste thats for sure. Worst part is that trying to insure it for what its worth is near on impossible :(

I just found out my sons girlfriend had her car stolen last night. She lives on a cane farm with her parents. Someone walked in off the road (about 300 meters) and got the car. The keys were left in the car but that is how they live (up until now) with keys in car, never locking doors to the house.

I &$?!en hate thieves.

mate, that's terrible news. Hope it all fixes up ok.

Btw, that alarm you have, does that comes with the 110kg jock wearing, running angry bogan or is it an aftermarket accessory?  Does evo do the install?

Well done in aborting the getaway.

Wonder if they would have tried to flog a 3litre?

Patrols & Cruisers are being targeted for Ram Raids as they are a few of the vehicles that survive so they can drive away after the deed.


Bl00dy scum is all I can say.


I had the same happen to my GQ at the Valley carpark in Brissie. The idiot broke in via the back sliding window by levering the window with a screwdriver & dropped his wallet inside the car when he crawled in. Cops said to drive the car home & will contact me. An hour after I got home to Mansfield a young forensic copper turned up and fingerprinted & took photos and took his wallet.
He turned up at the Valley copshop next day to report his wallet missing and they nabbed him. Great result except for the insurance excess it cost me to get the smashed window and bent frame replaced. (plus the $10 in coins in the ashtray he got). Ya gotta question the intelligence of these scum.
