Between the hours of 1130-630am last night my LS 1275 was stolen from outside my house. Those of you know know me know the sentimental value of this car to me as it has pulled me through the roughest times in my life. It's Hi-Ho in colour, black 1275 LS decals down the side with the red high back seats. If anyone hears or sees anything please contact me and the police and don't touch it as the police will need to do their thing.

Bastards - what is the go with the Sydney mini frat getting their cars knocked off. I am thinking there is a little group in Sydney catering to the export market me thinks. Guard your posessions with your life. Cant help but think that there is someone in our realm of friends that knows about this as they are targeting the collectibles and not the common garden variety minis. That said though every mini is sacred to their owners and take steps to stop them doing it(baseball bat and/or a rotty in the back seat...lol). Theives are like firebugs - they are within and when something goes astray they are always the first to offer assistance. SCUM!!

Zack - sorry to hear of your loss and I hope all turns out well and your beloved gets returned to you ASAP. Will keep an eye on the web and in Canberra for any new looking LS running about.

Hooroo

S...! Not another Mini stolen.
What's going on over there? I really hope you get your LS back in one piece.
How was it stolen? Driven away or towed? I feel for you...

YES , we've got the Ulysee's AGM here in Coff's at the moment , 6000 people , 4,000 or more bikes and there's been a heap stolen , be careful at Hay as that many mini's may attract similar attention . Park the mini's in with other cars where possible overnight .

Thanks everyone for your comments, I believe it must have been put in neutral and pushed away from my house as the sound definatly would've woken me up as my bedroom is less then 10 metres from where the car was parked.

Its a Low act to steal some one pride and joy. And you don't know hpw it feels till it happens to you. This is why I will not buy thing off the back of a truck.

awww...crap! Real sorry to hear about this.

I hope you get it back, damage free and intact. If not, I hope you had insurance.

You have got to think that these thieving a$$holes are targeting the the collectable Minis. Not good at all.

I am DEFINITELY reviewing the security I have on my GT after hearing about this.
