Unfortunately there seems to be a few of these types of threads popping up on here. It is disappointing that people feel they can do this and think they can get away with. All the best with the outcome hopefully you get it back. Anyone up for a vigilante group?

I'll volunteer for this but not for vigilante activities, just to look for the car and anyone trying to sell bits then b*** the s**t of them and walk them to the police station via a dog collar t**d to the back of a car

I feel for you mate. Hope you get her back and hopefully karma does exist, because these pr*cks need to be taught a lesson as the courts do nothing! This sh*t makes me so angry. Why do they think they have the right to take what someone else has busted his arse to get, I would love to catch someone in the act doing that to one of my cars.

MK Tank(less), sorry mate, for my sick humour, but thought you might get a slight giggle. I hope you get the ol beast back. I wouyld be devastated if they stole FINLY.

As we grow on this forum and swell with members we will be exposed to more members being gutted by these lowlife, air stealing, excuse of a human being, criminals.

The tank has been found in Watsonia - the other side of the city.

Got a call from the boys in blue that the tank had been sitting in a private car park in watsonia since last sunday.

It was being towed to a yard for the crime scene guys to put the black powder all over it.

Dont know what its condition is.

The black power will probably mean they have dusted it for fingerprints. I watch a lot of CSI. lol

You have my absolute sympathy. Whatever the outcome...there is an outcome. Hopefully to your advantage.

Take care out there.

I had the option of getting it back or having it written off

I took the write off option, as I will be able to upgrade - GQ here I come.

Im going to morrow to grab any "personal items" that where left by the low lives who knocked it off.

In addition to personal items, which i take to be loose stuff like clothes tools etc? Can you unbolt and take away any stuff that wasn't listed on the policy? If you can, will they offset the payout by the same amount?

Mate's Pathfinder was written off by a particularly aggressive rear ending Camry taxi! He likes those extra warranties, and bought one for the Pathy. As it is written off, the extended warranty has no work to do. However he says the fine print means that he cannot claim an amount for the unused value of the warranty on his insurance.

Sad this ended the way it did - good to see you are planning for the next one, this time, a GQ!

If your mate had a patrol it would have just bounced off his rear bar, you should educate him on his next purchase, haha

I visited the tank today. They had been 4wding and got stuck as the recovery straps where covered in mud.

I was very suprised that the low lifes had left my tools, hand winch, CB radio and other godddies in the truck. They took a first aid kit ,my air compressosr & and a 20 k bag of chicken food.

I grabbed all me "personal" bits plus the roof rack, winch driving lights drawers and cargo barrier.

The insurance company had previsly advised me that these would not be covered - so I took them

Left the front & rear bars on the truck.

very very sore point, that, with only one redeeming feature :-)

He had the mighty TD42 GQ. Until his son drove it off the road, backwards at high speed into some trees. Sadly, the trees won.

Happily, the lad is ok. Feels terrible about it too, it seems. As he should!

Speaking of towbars, he took some pics of the Pathy. The tow hitch is pointing straight down at the ground :-) I can't remember what year the Pathy was, but it was pleasant enough on road and on good dirt. Thirsty though, close to my Petrol Mav from memory.
