R32 Gtr Stolen!

[dougs]

Hey guys i need some help in locating my pride and joy. Its a Black 93 GTR. Bodywork is stock with the usual tint etc. It has a set of genuine V Spec rims on it, purple calipers (previous owner.....), purple rocker covers and engine bay trims. It was stolen from sunnybank automotive (part of the neumann servo) on the corner of McCulloch St and Station road in sunnybank at about 11pm last night (monday night). Police have been notified and details of the car given to them. According to the crap video cameras at the servo 4 guys rocked up, opened the car rather quickly and PUSHED it all the way down station rd until the camera couldn't see anymore. Several cars drove past but we have been unable to get rego numbers off any to contact them. To make things worse, the car is unregistered so naturally it is uninsured and i don't know if the workshop insurance will cover it due to them leaving the car outside overnight. If anyone has any info or knows of its whereabouts plz let me know asap so i can pay the nice guys a visit with mister crowbar!

to the person who finds my car, i'm sure some sort of finders fee can be worked out.

btw. mobile number is 0421426221 if anyone has any info for me.

Dude that sucks, why wasn't it registered?

I'll let you know if i see/hear anything but its unlikely i will since i don't live over that way.

[gumflapper]

thats fu(ked!

i live in sunnybank hills so ill keep an eye out 4u... you would think that the workshops insurance would cover it... if u give them the car to work on they should give it back... or at the least compensate you for it... i mean, its not ur fault they didnt provide adequate "storage" of the car when they had it...

[dougs]

it was bought as a repairable writeoff cause it only had panel damage and it was there getting an exhaust leak fixed and road worthy'd so that i could get it registered. hopefully seeing the business owner/partner tomorrow to discuss the workshop insurance. thanks guys

[dougs]

somebody had to have seen something??

just off topic if you have left it in the control of the yard then in theory they act as bailee's and have to secure your car. Also, I'm with Shannons and they didn't require the car to be registered or even roadworthy for it to be insured...just something to be aware of in case you do find her

[dougs]

and its got a huge "slow motion car club" sticker in the rear window too. its the only GTR in the car club so if you see one with a slo mo sticker, thats mine!!!!

yeah i know shannons do build up insurance but due to prior "activites" i can't get insurance either way apparently. but thanks for the advice. hopefully i get it back real soon otherwise i am going to start searching houses until i find evidence of my car. as i said, to the person that finds my gtr, there will be a finders fee involved.

Will keep an eye out on the north side for you mate

Yep no matter what way you look at it, it's the workshops problem....their insurance will generally pay if the car isn't recovered in 2 weeks, if they say it's not covered, then THEY should pay in the same time period. This would breeze through the courts hands down in your favour if they tried to be awkward.

[Russco]

I agree with 666DAN, the workshop would be insured for that - it was their decision to leave your car outside whereas they should have locked it up inside (like most mechanics would), particularly with a high theft car like yours. If they f*ck you around get a solicitor. I used to live down the road from that servo, there's no reason why they could not have secured your vehicle inside their premises...

[dougs]

thanks guys. i've asked them on numerous occasions not to leave it outside cause i don't have insurance on it. besides, if they don't do anything to get my car or my money back then it's not my business that'll look bad.

[red_screamer]

that sucks man... hope you find it.... another 32 got stolen aswell f**ken thief's needa have there hands cut off.... at our workshop i always make sure skylines get locked up or anything expensive out of sight... dunno why you'd leave it outside...

[GT-R LM]

Didnt the police ask you questions regarding who had posession of the car and where and who it was stolen from? They would put that in the formal statement so that would basically force the workshops insurance to pay up wouldn't it ?

I would not be happy if you specifically told them not to leave the car outside and they did so, you should be compensated for that as well.

[dougs]

one of the guys from the workshop was at the police station reporting the theft. he rang me and put the cop on the phone and i told them i'd go down and do it in person so it had to be known that it was at the workshop for insurance. plus part of the evidence is a cctv video of it being pushed away from the front of the workshop so hopefully there's no way insurance can't cover it.

[GtrVspec]

i think the thank that they have a "duty of care" also have to show "due dilligance" and are responsible for a customers car will work wonderfully in your favour. though still wont bring back the car... but hopefully it does pop up champ.

[DAS KAMU]

they would have professional indemnity insurance

ask them about it

[Oblivion]

I find it pathetic that people will go so low as to steal something. It's farken pathetic, no one looks up to them.

Hope you find the car man.

[Burgerman]

i live in the southside area will keep an eye out for it. Sounds dodgy as that they would leave it outside despite you telling them to have it inside. Wonder if it wasn't perhaps an insider job? - maybe an apprentice telling his mates about a "car" left outside overnight *wink wink nudge nudge*....

if it doesn't turn up hopefully you at least get compo for it

[dougs]

nobody seen or heard anything?
