my brothers XH got stolen on friday night. fortunately the thieves couldnt get the XH started due to the smartlock system. however, they did manage to destroy the door lock, smash the drivers side window, break the steering lock and push it 50 metres up the street around the corner where they left it sitting on the road on blocks and took his 18's.
not happy as you could imagine. i had to do a rush up to the north coast of nsw on friday afternoon to take another set of wheels up for him so he could roll it back to his house as they also cut the ignition wires trying to hotwire it. so if anyone hears of a set of 18x8 speedy graphites for sale on the north coast of nsw or the south coast of queensland, let someone know about it, or even just me so we can alert the authorities up there and my brother can get some sort of compensation cheers guys |

Sorry to hear Trikee.
What the hell is going on lately, I reckon all us enthusiasts should get together, take a picture with us and go catch these thieves. And when we find them give'em a beat down:jab: ![]() Will keep an eye and ear out for the rims.

yeah it certainly seems to be a trend of late.... lots of car thefts and vandalism.
No-doubt leading up to christmas people are desparate for money. |

the strangest thing happend to me the other night, i was at work and i was out the front of the shop. and a new BA GT-P drove past, it was absolutely awesome, and some guy and his wife were standing out the front, and the guy said "gee that's a nice car", and he asked me if it was a local car. I said "i don't know iv'e never seen it around" which i hadn't, and the guy turned and nudged if wife and said "write that number plate down" and he recited it to her and the car was almost out of sight. so he memorized the plate well. but i was wondering if he's planning on knocking the car off.

That's dodgy as..
Last night I saw someone go from his car to a factory and back again a few times then speed off with no lights (it was a Camira wagon lol) so I tailed him for a bit and noted the rego.
