That is such a low act to have done.. I feel for him and his crew.

Fingers crossed he gets everything back and the morons that stole it have some seriously nasty karma

Weird, weird, weird... Very hard to offload that kind of gear, I'd imagine.

Guess we should keep an eye out for wheelstanding, Donovan-powered VL's in Woodridge...

What's with this Slacks Creek town, so much seems to be up there? A lot of good workshops and suppliers in one place?

Slacks creek is like central for car stuff up here.
All I seen was a car crash at Slacks creek on the motorway at about 3:20 this morning, nothing else unusual, I went past once northbound on the M1 at 2:30, and came back through southbound at 3:20, nothing suss looking to me, and I always look down Moss street as I drive past.

This kind of news really disturbs me. Its bad enough when a car gets flogged from the supermarket carpark but this is different. I really hope they get caught and their names and addreses posted on this forum. Scum like that need to be taught a lesson. I wont say anymore otherwise i will be banned for swearing too much. All the best guys.

Seems like all of Australia knows about this theft. It was on the evening news in Sydney and hopefully all states followed. Dopey bastards may have entered it in the burnout comp at the Nats.

WHY IN GODS NAME WOULD YOU STEAL THAT? They are asking to be busted and thrown in jail to get bummed in the showers for the next few years. Look how much that would stick out like dogs balls on the road.

Very low (and stupid) act.

Such a shame to see this happen again, I remember it wasn't all that long ago that Wayne Price lost his gorgeous Mercury.

Totally agree Wayne. I hate to say it but it is most probably in the U.S of A holes already. I really do hope that the perps are caught out this time.

Just heard on the news the truck, trailer and a few pieces of the chassis turned up.

All the good stuff is gone.

$17,000 reward for anyone that dobs in the mongrels behind it!

The owners were shattered as you would be.

Report now up on the PF site. I hope the person who gets approached to buy these bits does the right thing and reports it.

Hopefully police will actually look into it...

Im very saddened to hear this latest news. Lets hope someone out there is offered parts and reports it to the appropriate authorities. There are some real low life scumbags out there. Could i please have a link to the latest outcome of this. Cheers, Adam.
