My R33 was stolen this morning, please help...

Hi Friends, 

 

At 445am this morning 27/08 my Silver R33 GTS-T was stolen out of my driveway.

It was hooked up to the back of a big ute / truck thing and pulled away....

My front door camera was very very dark but you can make out someone fiddling for ages at the front, then rolling it to the back of a big vehicle off camera, and then being pulled away.

REGO - WCB 666

Silver, r33 GTST. 

photos attached.

 

Please let me know if anyone spots it...

(perp vehicle passing my house and doing a u-turn to wait just off camera - video attached)

 

It has an alarm / immobilizer but of course the battery was flat because I hadn't driven it in ages. I took it out of the garage to clean the garage and didn't put it back because i was investigating putting it into a wilsons storage etc. So i thought what was the point jumping it to move it if im just going to have to do it again soon to move it into storage.....

 

sigh.

 

please help all, many many thanks.

 

Thank you.

Any updates?

None, the police don't seem to be looking. Do I chase them up? I just got a link today to send them the CCTV footage.

There isn't really much point in chasing them up. If they come across it by chance they'll contact you. 

I hate to say this but there really isn't anything to look for anymore. You can almost guarantee that it's sitting in a garage somewhere being stripped down for parts. The parts will never be recovered, the shell will be chopped up and thrown in scrap steal recycling

I don't know why people keep saying parts. Surely the sum of the parts are greater than its whole these days given their renewed value? Or are these morons so stupid they just think "duh parts duhh"?

And for that to be true (which it is) you cannot hope to sell it in Australia for use in Australia. If it's not being cut up it will be going in a shipping container to the Middle East, or the USA, or somewhere in the EU, where there is money to pay for it.

Cars only get stolen for a few reasons generally, for example - 

A. Joy ride. This starts with stealing the keys, steal the car, joy ride the car, burn the stolen car. 

B. For use in another job. This starts with stealing the keys, steal the car, complete unrelated job, burn the stolen car. 

C. For export out of Australia. Cars get put on containers to certain parts of the world. You can imagine the logistics behind this. The way your R33 was pinched wasn't exactly professional and R33gtst's aren't the typical car getting targeted by professionals. 

D. The 'f**k I crashed my R33 and I'm not insured' person, now I need a car to rebirth or a mountain of parts to restore said crashed car. 

So as no one broke into your house, took your keys then took your car, I'm going with option D as the most likely.
