Crap - local to me too!

ditto on the pics of the trailer -
That is more likely to be spotted than the car itself I would've thought?

My thoughts go out to the owner. Hope the bastards get caught.

Thanks guys will have to have a look for some pics of the trailer ..

As it said earlier 30ft had three axles 70mm tow ball ( bastards had the nerve to unbolt the ball as well ... R/c aircon on the front ... So it's a big unit could carry two mini's ...

Coopar as long as I have known the car it was those colours ...

To Make matters worse the body shell was a genuine s shell as far as we knew ...

Done - already on Vic Mini Club's Facebook and Twitter feeds, and on the Web site. If anyone else is on Facebook, can you spread the word? We really should do whatever we can to help the police find the lowlife thieves.

This must be heartbreaking for the owners. So sorry.

MODS - Why isn't this thread a sticky?

Sorry to hear of this, that just sux the big one. Hope it can be recovered, but it sounds like they knew what they were after and were somewhat determined.

Cut off the hand that steals the bread I say.

Hi Chris,

What dredful news, this is my worst nightmare - poor mal. :(

Chris - i'm sure that when I raced at MCM on the weekend that Mal Rutschack's mini was white body and light blue roof.

I will pass this info onto all the people i know and hope and pray that his car and gear turns up soon.

The colours are definitely a two-tone blue style. The main body is a much lighter blue, which is far from white.

If my memory serves me correctly, it is an Austin Cooper S paint scheme, but the colours aren't absolutely spot on.

Anyway, it's a crying shame and I hope that all items concerned are returned and in untouched condition.
This is proof that there is scum out there.

The grubs concerned would have cased the set-up at MCM, worked out what they would need, and likley followed Mal to where he was staying!

Trailer that size needs a big area to hide it, and being what it is, be hard to modify etc, without someone recognising it down the track.

Hope it all works out for Mal and these grubs are caught.
