Hey guys just an update: Got my car back from Ottoway compound.

Car had half a tank of fuel (had nothing when it was stolen) but seemed ot only travel about 20km as per my speedo. They initially told me that the window had been smashed so that was a bit annoying. Me and my mate picked it up, started it with the trusty screw driver and to my amazement while I was driving my drivers window closed when I hit the button!

Basically they ripped my weather shield off, pushed my window down and then snapped the ignition. They also tried to rip my CD player out so the aircon controls are broken and my gear surrond is on the back seat but still everything works fine. I was also worried about the compliance plate and the papers from my glove box being tampered with but they were all there (compliance paper was scrunched up though?).

I'm a very lucky guy - the car drives just like it did and the tyres have full tread still. There was no damage to the outside at all and the inside got off pretty well too.

PS - the wig issue in the car ended up being my missus hair extensions packet (nice on SAPOL)

Thought id let everyone know. Thanks again for everyones help!

Hey mate mine was stolen on 26th and found the morning of hte 27th. I ended up getting it back on the Wednesday (so 6 days but over a weekend). It was annoying because we got the run around for days about this copper signing the form as he was duty and didnt check his emails every day. They also told me it was not ready but I had a message from the policeman saying that the car had been ready since Monday and that he had tried to contact me and my girlfriend when he didnt.

Just make sure you get on your back if your really keen to get it out. You wont have to pay any towing of the car that the police did at all. I didnt get any compensation - I was really lucky and it was only the ignition and a mate had one lying around for a good price (and a new GOOD alarm). They found no prints or anything in my car so they just gave it back to me with that black powder shit everywhere...

Did they say your drivers window was gone? because they told me mine was gone but the guy stole the car by pushing the window down so your passanger window should still be there. I know its hard not to worry with it sitting there and not being able to see it but it might come out without that much damage if he was planning on re using the parts on his - just think positive!

Hey man that's lucky and great news or you with basically no damage or major costs just the inconvenience. Nah nothin was said about the windows or anything all I know is the compliance plate was taken (not sure if it's the sticker or the build one) the battery was taken, the glovebox (wierd) the ignition, and I think th drivers seat or something, hope the dude just put the parts in his car so the cops can just take them out and give them back to me, but there lies the problem of proving they are myn etc. I'm hopin my wheels are still on the car as they are worth a bit ad the Tyres were less than 5000kms old and at $350 a corner.. Also hope this mofo has some assets as I will be seeking compensation to get the car back to the tuning condition it was in 6 weeks ago when it was stolen.

I'm thinking that because of the parts situation myn will take longer then 6 days for them to clear it

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By Milkmun · Posted

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.

      Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.

      It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
