Bastard car thieves

[Tazz]

On the plus side Cockram Nissan, Harcourts and Miles Toyota all made generous offers of cash, discounts and loan cars and Stadium Cars has actually gifted them a car as well. The generosity of people and businesses in Christchurch has been amazing and more than canceled out the actions of the fucking prick that took the car in the first place. (although it'd still love to get my hands on him)

Good to hear man. Hope the newest addition to the family is doing well too =)

Still no word on the car but I have learned there were some items in the car with significant sentimental value and passports in amongst the things in the car. All of which I would imagine have been destroyed our sold by now which is disappointing but there have been quite a few generous offers including Willy and Tazz in this very thread and a very generous donation by Cockram Nissan in response to the article printed in todays Press.
So thank you to all who offered to help in any way, and please keep an eye out for the car, I'd still like a "chat" with those who stole it.

Also an article showed up on stuff today as well (here) some of those who comment there seem to be complete asses.

Good to hear mate...offer still stands, if they need any gear just sing out

...as for the car...Ive told everyone I know about it, and had a good hunt around...nothing...yet!(would like NOTHING more than to organise that wee "chat" for you)

send my familys to the new parents

It's not Sharia if no one is snackbaring.

The car has been found!!!

Actually my brother in law got a call from the cops on Wednesday saying where the car was (in a mobility park on the opposite side of the hospital). They must have got an attack of the guilts, it had been parked there since atleast Saturday, since it was in a mobility park there were a few fines on the windscreen.

Visibly undamaged, even the locks were undamaged and pretty much everything in it seems to be accounted for but judging from driving it and its new oil leaks it got the thrashing of its life while they had it.

We went straight from finding it to Stadium cars (where they were due to pick up their new car) and explained the situation and they decided to go ahead and give my sister the new car anyway due to the mechanical state of the bluebird and the fact they only had one car for the family to begin with.

Thanks for your support and offers of help, my sister and her family really appreciate it, it is good to see that its not all assholes in this world. After the shock and inconvenience of the car being stolen in the first place all is okay now.

Don't let your irrational hatred of police get in the way of the fact that contracted parking nazis, NOT POLICE, issue the tickets in this carpark. But hey, there's always an angle for Akzle aye

Great news

Cool that they can still have the replacement car, sometimes when you get a stolen car back you'd rather you haven't, nce that they got back the important stuff that was in the car.

its funny, because you call parking wardens nazzis when theyre doing the same job, enforcing crown policy,
but the stasi are somehow exempt.
Must be the baton you love...
The pork baton that is!

(THATs funny because it means two things)

Actually, they enforce council policy when it comes to parking issues or in this case, hospital board policy

but the stasi are somehow exempt.

And, yep, I know them as parking nazis due to their "zero tolerance" policy, their charging regime, which is more expensive than police infringements and their direct " out to get you" attitudes which most police don't have.
I'd much rather deal face to face with a cop than have somebody sneaking round issuing tickets.
As for the "pork baton", na fella. I'll leave that to you

so if a cop left a notice on your car (it happens) youd be cool with that?

Judging by the fines on the windscreen it was sitting there for 5 days before the cops told us about it which is more or less the efficiency I expect from the nz police.

It wasn't in a private carpark, on Rolleston Ave there are 3 mobility parks on the road near the back entrance to the hospital, it was in one of those.

probably lucky it did get fines, it was likely a computer that cross referenced and made the link.

Seldom do Police do "parking infringements" ...

The fine tickets were most likely Council Parking authorities ... and Police probably became aware after some Do-gooder (with a mobility card) complained to Police about it being parked there for so long without being towed ...

I'd say it was more likely they were getting ready to tow it and checked the rego against known stolen vehicles (I'm guessing the tow company would have checked because if it's stolen they won't get their tow fees).

Not too worried about the fines anyway, I would expect they can be canceled just by showing the police report to prove it was stolen. Even it they don't cancel the fines, a couple hundred bucks to get the car and all the other shit back is a bargain.

Great to hear the car and everything in it has been found. And that Stadium Cars still gives them a car is pretty awesome!

I just wonder how it is that the traffic warden database is not connected to the stolen car database. It's all digital, so how can it be that the stolen car hasn't raised any flags after the first ticket?
