North Shore - Have you seen this car?

[Patrick]

Hey Patrick thats good advice, but what if OG doesnt want to prgress the matter to the point of prosecution, could she list it as stoilen then dropp charges, sounds like we are talkin family here, no one really wants to bust their reletives..do they??

Sadly, it would be a waste of our overstretched and limited resourses, don't you think?

As for family, it happens a fair bit, but no, no one really wants to bust their rellies, but....

Absolutely agree and really wanted to clarify that once a complaint was laid with the police then the matter was usually seen through to its legal conclusion

Good comment.

And we realised that we could have probably "used" the system to get a result but that we would be required to see it through to it's conclusion which wouldn't be worth the wider family backlash.

I just wish that we had changed the ownership and taken that risk; then we wouldn't be having this drama, we would have just written it off as loss and down to experience.

We had not helped my brother like this before and we never will again, and when I get to talk to him he will understand this clearly and we will move on.

My kids love their Uncle and that is more important than $1800.00 (less $300.00 + the drama)

You could still change the ownership to his name?

I had a situation where I sold a car and the buyer never did his part of the ownership process. Ended up with the police on my doorstep one night coming to arrest me for me reckless driving.

Ended up having to do a retrospective change of ownership and sign a form that if I was ever caught with the vehicle all fines etc would be sort from me plus criminal charges for lying.

Might be worth looking in to it at your Post Office as he is technically buying it from you and take the loss on the chin. Has to be better than all the fines and pissed off gas station owners banging on your door

[Patrick]

De-register it if you can't change it into the brothers name as mentioned above... registered ownership DOES NOT prove actual ownership...

At least by de registering it, the fines to you will stop???

Keep an eye out for a Subaru legacy fuck I must've passed two hundred on the way to work this morning!!!!

Well besides your being in Wellywood, thanks for thinking of me and my plight?
200?

I have told you a million times not to exaggerate young man!

[placidfemme]

Do you know where abouts on the shore (ie the Bays or glenfield side... or down near albany...)

I'll keep my eyes peeled.

[davereid]

Tracking it down just based on a random sighting will be tricky, but with lots of KB eyes out you might find it.

Rack your brains... anywhere he might have another job, mates who might put him up, girlfriends name & address, favorite pub, favorite dope supplier, favorite supermarket - bottle shop on dole day...

If tickets are arriving addressed to you as the vehicle owner, you can make a statement identifying your brother as the driver, transferring the liability to him - maybe he will get unlucky at a checkpoint.

WOF and rego will run out too, so more chance he will be picked up at a checkpoint.

Good luck, look on the bright side, its a Subaru so it will break down soon.

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats a play on my copywrited sig...

[Smorg]

Been keeping my eyes peeled.. aint seen nothin yet.

B B B B Baby you aint seen nothing yet!!! Here's something, here's something your never gonna forget........

[Pumba]

As someone else has said try and deregister the car at keast the fines will then stop. And somthing that hasnt been mentioned is that there is a good chance that your brother is nolonger has the car and whoever does will have a issues if they happen to be in the same place at the same time as a cop.

Why do you care so much for someone who obviously doesnt give a crap about you?...I know hes family..., But as I understand it you entered into an agreement, be it verbal or written , it doesn't matter it is still legally binding, ....unless you or he was drunk at the time.

All you have to do is prove it...and as he has absconded with your vehicle , I don't think this is going to be very tough at all.....don't let crims get away with the small stuff ,cause its the bigger shit that comes along later thats harder to deal with...if you love your bro then a bit of loving corrective action is needed.... maybe a smack upside the back of the head will work.....l

thanks to everybody who offered to keep an eye out for our car, after a bit of outstanding detective work from girlygirl and a whole day off work for both of us, we found the car(although it's condition is nothing near it was when he took it- only three straight panels, fucked axles,tyres,electrics etc etc), and fuck was he a bit suprised when he opened his front door.....

now we just need to get the collection's people off our back for the debts he incured and give the car a full check over to decide if it's worth repairing and on selling, the whole "lets help out someone" will at the moment cost us aprox $2000.00 less anything we get for a fucked car(not counting any costs we may end up owning from the accidents he was at fault for)

oh well, shit happens- now the family bullshit to deal with, as no doubt it is all our fault he can't manage to keep a job and pay his bills.....

cheers
