6 long days after our cruiser departed our garage, I recieved a phone call from a tilt tray operater to inform me that he had our beloved Landcruiser was on board and he was taking her to a storage facility at Dutton Park . She was located at Forest Lakes having completed a 600 kilometer journey in a 3 day period avoiding all tollways. She has sustained about $5000 worth of damage by running over some large obsticles/rocks/chicains.
We were able to view the landcruiser In the lock up, and in the rear of the cruiser were 4 acetaline bottles of gas, so not sure what the intensions were for these bottles. Vehicle is being impounded for finger printing and is currently the victim of a crime scene.
It appears that my investigations into JLO's theft may have opened a can of worms into an organised car theft racket.
I would like to personally thank all those that replied with expressions of sympathy and support and I know that there were many ExploreOz members that went out of there way to search for our vehicle.
Thank you for your efforts, they were truly appreciated.
The morale to the story is to treat your car keys as if they are worth $10,000 in cash. Dont leave them on the
kitchen bench, you would not leave that amount of cash exposed as such.
Car theft from
home garages/ driveways is where the majority of all car theft now happens, gone are the days of having your car stolen from the shopping center. Thieves now target evey
home, as the occupants lower there security awareness...... And the stats are now overwhelming! Dont think it wont happen to you.... As I did.
Thanks again from one very lucky Landcruiser owner
