Dirty low life scum. I hope they get caught and you get half an hour alone with them to ask why they did it in a not so subtle way....

Sorry to hear it. I've experienced it myself and its a terrible feeling.

There will be buckets of DNA on those glasses!

That is really bad news! My mate had her car stolen and when they found it (in perfect condition) they had stolen all her country Cds ( that was in Brisbane!) Hopefuly yours will turn up ok!

E46 the car of my dreams. My mate is selling his M3 if you get your insurance money, now that is a car......

Hey Bill, only problem is that I am shite scared of losing the mini or the Ducatis. They are seriously hard to replace whereas an E46 is plentiful out there. Still pisses me tho., I have looked after that car well for 5 years.

Not your average 17 year old druggie thief. Sounds like you got a 40 or 50 something specialist on hand. He/she did it and probably plans to keep all or part of the loot. Probably have similar interests to yours.

Got A call from the police; car found in Brunswick. Cop asked me if I had a collection of hypodermics

Says the car isn't damaged but is full of crap. Will be picking it up Monday and will report back on what I find.

Am feeling so relieved. I started looking for a replacement car and found that only about 1 in 8 are manual. All the others are that crappy SMG gearbox. And all of them for sale had a huge amount of km's on them whereas mine was a 2002 model with 50k only.

Anyway, am happy it's found but wary of what I find Monday.

Thanks for all the death threats to the thief too; the cops know who it was.

Look under the bottom of your dash, under the sides of the console and under your back seat for syringes, a few nasty powder monkeys will leave a few under your seat near the adjuster or one or two needle out in between the top and bottom of the drivers seat and dont forget the sun visors.After 5 years of retrieving stolen vehicles in and around frankston, ive seen most places the spoon heads hide em

Car found!

Sorry I have been O/S for work so this is dated news.

Cops rang late the Friday night after the car was taken Monday. Bloke was stopped for a RBT and cop noticed that the numberplates didn't match the rego sticker.

Cop asks driver what's the deal and he does a runner. With my keys
So we pick the car up from the police yard and no number plates, stuff like sunnies gone but the car was full of clothes and what looked like a lot of stolen booty.

Glovebox full of syringes (clean), condoms and sachets of KY gel. Go figure. Boot full of stolen gear, mobiles, tools and god only knows. We were to scared to stick our hands in just in case of sharps.

Oh, and in little hidey hole in the console, small plastics sachets with white powder in them.

We rang the detective back and asked them to take all the crap out. They did.
So, car covered in finger pring dust, I have to get new plates and new numbers 'cos the ning nong has mine and because he has a set of my keys, I need new locks! Just great. My Bm man tells me that's a 6-8 week wait from Germini.

Car is OK, some minor scratches that my insurer can pay for.

Great to have the beemer back but still feel pissed off.
