Hotrod stolen Melbourne, Australia 14/12/12

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by big hugh ness, Dec 15, 2012.

  1. Has nothing to do with me (meaning; I don't know who the owner is - nor did I knock it off- just helping spread the word amongst our Aussie Hambers to keep an eye out).
    Stolen Friday 14th December.

    I originally saw this posted on a site called ozrodders.com, but the HAMB is a much bigger place, and who knows, maybe someone has seen something...
    Hope I haven't broken any rules or anything, just wanna help the guy out.
    The story is here:

    That's too cool of a car to go missing for too long... on an island. I hope it gets found before it's stripped or shipped.

    Sorry to hear the bad news - it sounds like it was a spur of the moment opportunity that the car was there and someone decided to grab it.
    I hope it turns up real soon without any damage.
    Good luck to the guy who owns it.
     
  8. Pretty big island Fred !! This shit seems to be happening more in Oz ,cars just vanish off the face of the earth .Professionals ??
     
  9. yep-all day-am i the only one who`s noticed peeps photographing rego plates at cruise nites etc??--
     
  10. Dam shame. It's probably in a million pieces by now. What else could you possibly do with a stolen rod. It's like a finger print. Dam shame.

    This sucks. Gotta stop. Hope it gets found quickly and intact.
     
  13. This kinda stuff is happening all over, and it has to stop. The thieves need to be caught and have their hands cut off publicly!
     
  14. Eyes are open here too.

    And yeah Ive seen a$$holes at events/cruises as well..... I wont tell you who i think they are but i think we all know who they are.

    I hope it turns up soon and intact.

    I hate to say it...when I see suspicious people I go up and greet them,look them in the eye.When they park on my street ,I take the dog for walk and write down their plate numbers.I take their pictures too.

    Same thing goes for the cops.When they park in the neighborhood.I introduce myself.I ask them what they are looking for.I might be able to help them.Got to get those folks out from behind the wheels of their cars and get them to know the community they are paid to serve.

    These people are absolute dogs. I hope this thread can help out. Let's spread the word and make this thing hard to sell.
