good stuff!!

[Krishy]

to post a couple of updates

car was seen again on thursday (by me) and followed for a good 40mins. police were informed and caught up with the car. it had been involved in a high speed chase / armed hold up(s) about a month or so back, and when i saw it, it had just been picked up from the impound yard. a few things happened and the car was let go

tyson had a phonecall this arvo to inform him the car was in an impound lot and we're heading up tomorrow morning to pick it up

Good to hear that the car hasn't been torched. If the car in question is the car from the pic off facebook that posted up matty, then it doesn't look too bad to be honest

that is the one krishy

its safely back in his possession as we speak

was up at 3:30am to drive up to Port Pirie to retrieve the car. Theres a few things not exactly perfect with the car, but it is intact overall. Apparently the same guy from the Advertiser that interviewed him after the theft (and police bungles thereafter) is going into his work tomorrow and interviewing him again for another article, so stay tuned

long story behind it all, apparently the "rebirth" was that good the numbers checked out to the guy they pulled over....and didnt look at the chassis number stamped in the firewall next to the plate that would more than likely have been completely different

im surprised in your description of their roadside "looksie" that it didnt even get defected

No kidding matty - two cop cars, at least four officers, bonnet up.

I thought you were going to tell us the pricks did a runner!

Such a relief that it wasn't torched. Those ones don't grow on trees..

you're not wrong

quick copy paste from kev

2 months of agony to be exact. and yes i havent seen him this happy since it was unlawfully taken.

HUGE thanks to Matty T for the 3.30am trip to port pirie this morning (about 4 hours out of adelaide for the interstaters) to pick her up. I've been awake since 10am saturday, completely ****ed, sick as a dog but it was totally worth it to see the smile on my best mate's face when we drove into the impound lot.

Also everyone's support and reports leading up to the seizure of the car from the police. Every step of it bought us closer to recovering it.

She needs a bit of TLC but Tys is keen to keep her and bring back the former glory. A good result but an unfortunate delay from police action, there will be another article in The Advertiser in a day or two.

Most of it is still there, the entire stereo system was stripped out but not much else seems to be missing. also the starter motor is completely ****ed and it has to be push started but it still runs.

Great to hear a "Happy Ending" (so to speak LOL)... I'll keep an eye out for the article.

[Pepsinator]

Me so happy

[Jap_star]

Great to hear. Out of curiosity what's the go with insurance in the end? Or did it not have it to begin with ?

as for the insurance, yes he had insurance. it'll now be assessed for whats missing / damaged and money will also be claimed for this through victims of crime

you wont get nothing from victims of crime unless someone is prosecuted and then you wont get much
