I'm back, and my baby is back!

Well guys, just to inform everyone, my car is back with me and that I'm back safe - and not suffering from cuts to both knuckles

- Just a word out to you dickless thieves if you are reading this, did you like the dodgy worthless shit you stole? All i can say is that I hope you enjoyed the hour that you had it because you won't be enjoying too much when i meet you face to face...

Without disclosing too much information (for my sake) I have worked out that these thieves just got lucky and it WAS a random job. There was a break-in on another car in the same carpark but i gather that these scum have done this many times before and they knew what they were doing. They should consider themselves VERY lucky because i usually park within listening/viewing range, but last night the carpark was full so i had to park in the corner BUT funnily enough i DID hear my car get stolen, the exhaust note is a giveaway to my ears, but i was just too far to be certain.

As for the events, after a HUGE search party - we devised a strategic search area for each car and managed to have cars goin as far as Campbelltown, Penrith, City east, and for AE86slut, through OP ) we managed to locate the car in front of a house on a quiet suburban street in the next suburb, in one piece, but stripped out (haha there was nothing more to strip out SUCKERS ) and a few nibbly shit that is workthless to me.

To cut a long story short, I wouldn't have found it without my girlfriend, she persisted in stayin at the bacon station and it payed off with a call on the system about a stolen vehicle in the area.

If anybody knows of anybody in the area that night, attending tafe/driving along Old Northern, or near Castle Towers at about 7pm (20/07/2004) please let me know - this car stands out like dogs balls and if not driven correctly would be really noticeable (i was playing around with the AFM idle that morning and it detonated the engine at idle sometimes on the drive to work - so it must have stalled if they got stuck at the lights, and i would imagine they would have had alot of trouble adjusting to the clutch ) But yeah, there were at least 2 accomplaces - 1 driving, 1 in the passenger and another car (had exhaust) following. I would like any information that would assist me in finding them. I know they are local and i know they knew i was local as well.

Parts stolen include:

Pioneer DEH-1650 50wX4 deck


Custom stainless piping to front mount:


Early model 4AGZE Air Flow Meter with 'Authentica' air filter (new, but the filter is glued on to the adapter - falls off under extreme heat!):


Sony Ericcson T610 phone:


Panasonic GD-75 phone (V. old, lots of scratches)


Autogauge 5inch tacho with shiftlight:


2/5/8" Autometer Volts, Autometer Vacuum Gauges (Ultra-lite)-both had chrome cups with brackets:


2/5/8" 30HG- 20psi Vac/boost Speco boost gauge (custom mount)


Mag Light - 4 Cell. PURPLE (few nicks and scratches)


Once again thank you to all who helped out last night, it was a cold and miserable 2 hours, and if anyone has any info please PM me as I would make any effort to avoid having this happen to someone elses pride and joy.
