Woobla is it the one in your Rig page? It appears to have a diferent rego but fits the description.

That sux !!!
Sorry to hear it, must be an epidemic over there with 100 series TD's.
I reckon Bilbo knows how you feel.
Reckon it'd be nice if they put in a bit of an effort to catch some of these low life pieces of slime every so often.

Cheers

If horse rustling in the wild west brought on lynchings, why not the same in your own wild west ? Seriously !! I'm not much use here in Adelaide re spoting it but am interested in the method of thieving ? How could they steal it if Toyota's factory security is in place - IE no keys, no drive ..... did they have the keys ? (or a copy) ?

Hi Darian,
I need to speak to my insurance company before I get into how it was stolen.
I that car thieves are a pathetic group of individuals who need to be pitied...SHOT but pitied
Have a great day.

Hi Jeff,

I'll keep an eye out for it for sure, saved the reg to my phone. How was it stolen? Some details may be able to help a few others avoid a similar situation.

Bad news eh? I sure hope the insurance company pay up, sounds like you went to some troubel finding the vehicle etc.

Hi Woobla,

Sorry to here that.

Will keep an eye out.

My eyes are peeled mate.

The culprit might just be the friendly neighbourhood druggie. Check the Quokka.

Maybe worth getting your engine number from your rego papers and posting that as well in case it is stripped for parts and comes up on E-Bay or 'around the traps'. There's a big readership here, you never know.

Have you posted this up on other forums?

Best of luck Jeff.

Hi Jeff,

Will keep an eye out for your cruiser. Keep an eye out on the 4Sale ads. A friend had his Corvette stolen (Bright orange). Insurance company followed 4Sale ads and eventually tracked down the idiots who tried to sell it.

Thanks for all the feedback, and for looking out for my cruiser. The police found the car this morning along with the vertical snot who took it. Unfortunately they have used it to drive through a shop or similar and whilst it doesnt look too bad, every panel has some form of dent/scratch/kink etc. They ripped out the console and wiring to get the computer and cb. the running boards are pushed in lights smashed, windscreen smashed.
God help us all if these people bring their kids up the same as themselves.
Anyway, thanks again and I will follow up later with how things go with my insurer.
Regards,
Jeff

i would still like to know how they stole it.it least you know what happen to it ,not much concilation i know.i just hope its fixed to you satisfaction.roger, or as my grand daughter calls me,silly old poppy.

If I recall there was an original post about this that you said it was your fault (or something to that effect). Sorry to hear about the damage mate.

...so how did you lose it?

Woobla,

Congrats on getting it back mate. At least it's not too badly damaged.

I never saw mine again. Broke my heart that did and it's cost me a bit financillay but it's cost me even more psychologically. I'm a tad less trusting and a lot more cynical,,,,,,,,,

To Darian,

I agree wholeheartedly with you about "horse thieves" and just punishment. It strikes me as odd that the police put little or no effort into finding a $70,000.00 car - at least thats how my case was conducted - but will have security camera photos published in newspapers of 2 young aboroginals stealing 2 bottles of Jim Beam from a bottle shop - worth $60.00!!

No wonder I have no confidence at all in the police and justice systems.

Woobla,

Check your Personal Messages mate - "Shoalwater" is a very strange co-incidence. BTW- my wife is the "Neighbourhood Watch" co-ordinator for the area.

For everybody - DO NOT, I repeat, Do NOT place any faith whatsoever in this garbage about "no key=no start". My research has proven that it's a crock. Any car can be stolen, quietly and without fuss if you know how to do it. It's all been discussed before on this forum. I even got my local Toyota dealer to admit that a 100 series Landcruiser can be stolen very easily if you have the knowledge. It took a fair bit of pressure but he finally conceded the point.
