Facebook posts and driving to the town they're always taken too. Normally they get driven there and burnt out etc.

But they crashed it on the way and abandoned it on the side of the road

All done apart from the steering wheel lock, instead I just have a club haha

I saw a chart based on America on violent crime rates and leaded fuel

Yeah going to call the police again this morning and contact my lawyer since we thought about a civil suit when one of the thieves was caught but got off by being undersge and saying he found it on the side of the road despite being on camera in the yard

Because last time it was stolen they got 60k worth of tools i assume.

It's also the most frequently stolen model of car where I'm from.

They still have the original keys after the last theft probably not realising it has all new locks.

It's all over Facebook every week.

There's on average 5 cars stolen a week but nothing happens.

Police found this a couple weeks ago in one house

To steal it again?

The day after it came back someone tried to break in and steal it again setting off the newc alarm system.

Then they tried again the following night.

Then this photo was taken today and posted on the instagram page

Yeah, it often goes places where water comes over the bonnet

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Have, the person who sent this to me sends it all to them.

There's been no result.

They post this kind of thing every week different cars etc

 

Back in January we had a run in of break ins resulting in the work car being stolen from my house.

The thieves post on what I think is instagram about it and I have been sent these two photos. (Second in comments)

The main photo is from today so it appears I'm being watched after getting the car back

Any way of finding the account?

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah but they go great in an Allan key when it's rounded out

Nah they certainly don't, they feel nothing there.

You can test this by licking your finger and then touching it yourself. There will be no reaction

 

I'm having a baby any day and used to go to the pub to watch the footy with my mates.

Now moving forward I figure I can have mates over here to watch

 
 
 

Friday morning via Facebook thanks to my wife and the communities on there that are set up to find stolen cars we found my vehicle.

It was 240kms away crashed on the side of the road.

Unfortunately all of my tools were stolen they opened the boxes and removed tools draws and all.

They stole all of my consumables too.

Insurance is still assessing the car and my business insurance said the missing tools are car insurance problem because it's parked in a residential premises and are my personal property.

Car insurance will cover 1500 dollars or tools. Unfortunately I had around 50k of tools etc in my ute.

This weekend I spent 10k on tools and am obviously still far behind.

I have hired a ute and bought tools so I'm back to work now since I have no other options really, I need an income to support my wife while she has no job since she's on maternity leave.

I'm really only writing this to put some thoughts out, I think I'm having a rough time but it's just life. One for before the other and keep going you know.

I'm going to put up some photos of the car and perpetrator in the comments just so they're out there too.

 

G'day guys, not really a dull story unfortunately but I just wanted somewhere to vent my thoughts about the nights events.

I work for myself have for about 18 months, started my own heavy mobile mechanic company business has been good always busy etc.

My wife just lost her job due to being 9 months pregnant and they made her position redundant. So we are relying on my sole income from working for myself.

Stressful yeah but manageable.

Unfortunately that all brings us to tonight,

At about 0100 I hear my car start up and crash through my front fence and off it went.

All my work tools all my licenses access cards to places and my work laptop.

I was fully packed to go do a service in the morning leaving at 0500 so I prepared everything in the car in advance so I just had to get up shower and go.

Now I'm sitting here at home waiting to call insurance and see what little they will do for me regarding the vehicle and tooling.

My wife super stressed since being about to give birth any time now and no prospects for an income for either of us unless I go win the lotto and buy a new car and tools.

The car isn't really a problem though, I mean it is but it's the tools that I'll miss the most. I can't even go get a job working for someone else again without having tools to do my job. Really is a shit situation Unfortunately.

Anyway happy new year guys I hope everyone else's year starts off better then mine so far

School spends a long time "wasting" our time but learning things is a great way to learn how to interpret information and make actual informed decisions
