Mustang stolen at gun point
« on: January 10, 2011, 12:28:58 pm »
I heard on the news this morning that a 1965 Mustang was stolen at gun point from a house in Wattle Grove WA.
As basically all of us on this site own a Mustang I think that's some thing we should all be concerned about.
Does any one here know what the car actually was and how this all came about???
I hope who ever lost there car gets her back safely and the police catch these thieves fast!!!

I wonder if the coupe was any thing special or just a typical classic??

It will be interesting to see what the news is later, arnt one of the bike gangs around there???

Scarry stuff

You can buy GPS trackers from Ebay for a couple of hundred $'s.

Acting Detective Sergeant Nicole Winstone said the coupe was stolen after six men, wearing balaclavas with torches on their heads and brandishing a handgun, burst into a house in Phar Lap Road, Wattle Grove, and forced the owner to sign transfer papers for the car and demanded the keys.

If they forced the owner to sign over ownership to them, then wouldn't they have to at some stage say who the car was being transferred to ? I suppose they used fake names and addresses.

Would think they would just break it up for parts.

Glad to see they were able to find it using GPS. Pity they didn't catch the pr*cks.

Cheers,
Frank.

"forced the owner to sign transfer papers for the car and demanded the keys"

Hmmm sounds like the car was taken in payment for something the owner didn't have the cash for. Or is that too Mafia style.

That was running through my mind too - I mean why waste time getting transfer papers signed when as soon as a police report was filed the legality of the transfer papers would be nullified anyway. :shrug:

These are the toughest concourse judges I've ever seen! :omg:

Looks like they've found a problem with the size of the gap between the trunk and tail light though.....

You would think they were so well organised with wearing balaclavas with torches on their heads, brandishing a handgun and having transfer papers for the guy to sign  that they would not of left finger prints.

Just saying that what I'd do...
Chase the pricks down and if the pricks kept going.. I would force myself to run the Mustang off the road and get them that way... at least that way the car wouldn't end up in 50 bazzillion pieces and might be salvagable.

Not something I'd want to do to the Mustang, but I could dish out a little deserved pain on the car-jackers.

I know a mate who'd do it.. even if it wasn't his Mustang.

They work by installing a mobile SIM card. I have a Vodafone SIM that has $20 credit and a 365 day expiry. It works very well.

:agree:  I'm with you Johhno... if they are that fair dinkum, they have have it and I would be happy to sit back and let Constable Plod do his work ....

BTW ... I think there is more to the story than what the public have been told via the press and TV .... :drunk:
