**IMPORTANT THREAD** MR's Van Stolen!!

**Motoracer** · 11th June 2006, 12:05

Yesterday the 10th of June, with in the time frame of midday and 19:00 hours, my beloved van was taken from out side my house from Rockfield Road, Penrose.

Here is the discription of the van:

Reg: RB7756
Year: 1991
Make: Ford
Model: Econovan Long wheelbase
Colour: White with patchy rust spots.
Distinctive features: Very bad window tints with lots of bubbles. It has #15 race number stickers and bike stickers like "Metzeler" and Colemans Suzuki all over it.

I have already filed a police report this morning. Oddly enough, the officer who took my report just lives up the road from me. Not only that but he informed me that, my van was just right outside his house doing donuts at 06:00 hrs. His wife asked him to go out and have a look but he said it was too early to get out of bed. This van was spotted in 4 different occasions around the same area where I live for driving in an erratic manner since then, so I am hopefull...

I will be spreading the word within different communities. I think this was a local job, so tomorrow morning I will be going to the local workshops and wreckers to give them the general description, VIN and engine numbers for the van. Then I will obviously have to keep an eye out in trademe and trade and exchange for people in my area trying to sell parts of this van.

My request to you all is to please read the discription given above and look at the picture for reference and just keep an eye out for it. If you know people who are inside the car theaving society who might know something, any kind of leads would be much appreciated.

From the information given by the police officer and my general observation, I will be throughly patroling the area where the van was spotted in various occasions. If there are any of you who are free this afternoon who wouldn't mind helping out with the search, I would really appreciate assistance as well. If you are genuinly interested to help, please text to 021 636 156 instead of PM'ing. Don't worry you won't have to confront any unpleasentness. Upon recovery (I am hopefull), I will handle the matter from there with the responcible culprits.

Many thanks.
Sudeep.

That sucks big time! I hope you recover it all intact, and those responsible get what they deserve.
Why can't people just leave others things alone?

Good luck with getting it back and those responsible

**inlinefour** · 11th June 2006, 13:31

I know what it fels like to have a vehcile stolen, it really sucks arse. Sounds like some snot nosed kids joy riding and its possible that you might get it back, much more worse for wear. Hope it was well insured dude, should it end up these ways I'll let you and the Police know.

**metric** · 11th June 2006, 13:45

stink man.. good luck getting it back. hope ya had it insured

I also know what it's like to get a vehicle back after joy-riders have had their fun: no mags (was on space savers), steering wheel sawn (to get the wheel lock off), no front seats (swappa crate boxes), no stereo (or amp or sub)... etc etc

written off pretty much

**Big Chim** · 11th June 2006, 15:55

Ohh man that sux, i hope you get it back.

I had mine stolen 4 days before my wedding but the wankers crashed it into a bank within ten meters of the drive way and wrote it off. I hope you get yours back safe and sound

**Quasievil** · 11th June 2006, 16:04

Mate sorry to hear that, Im on it dude and the amount of KMs I do who knows, I wil be sure to knee cap em for you as well

**N4CR** · 11th June 2006, 19:41

We had a look around the local area today couldn't see anything unfortunately good luck getting it back I'm keen to help you again sometime this weekend, just pm me (phone's outta dineros).

**Riff Raff** · 11th June 2006, 19:53

I can't for the life of me think why anyone would want to steal THAT van!

Will keep an eye out for it tho.

**Brett** · 11th June 2006, 22:04

AS I mentioned this arvo MR, I work in the penrose area and will keep an eye out for it. I really hope that you get it back...and not shagged either. Little pricks that steal cars need their fingers cut off.
