Aljames01 Posted 30April, 2018 Report Share Posted 30April, 2018 Hey all, Asking for people to keep an eye out for some stolen 911SC gauges. My car was broken into last night in Rozelle, I had three gauges in the hood compartment for another project. Maybe the thieves are silly enough to advertise them for sale in the next couple of weeks. Jono will recognize the photos. They also stole the service history and books for my 3.2 Carrera from the glove box. I’m not sure what value this is to anyone but me. Thanks Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoHeadsTas Posted 30April, 2018 Report Share Posted 30April, 2018 Very low act, and as you said, who would the service books be of any use to.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozvino Posted 30April, 2018 Report Share Posted 30April, 2018 Call RIngwood Speedometer and aPorscheapart - let them know they were stolen so that if anyone comes in trying to sell them they let you/the Police know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZ930 Posted 30April, 2018 Report Share Posted 30April, 2018 Did you have your home address in the service books ? Get the Police involved. Could be a second robbery planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aljames01 Posted 1May, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 1May, 2018 Yes, my home address would have been on the more recent receipts. The car is in Sydney and my home address is Melbourne though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troubleshooter Posted 1May, 2018 Report Share Posted 1May, 2018 That's terrible James, will keep a eye out on Scumtree, trading post Fleabay etc.... sounds vindictive by someone who knows what service/ owner books mean to a collector car...

Agree. My car was in a secure apartment garage, and they also stole many bikes, surfboards, tool kits, etc... so I wasn’t singled out. That’s why I find the service history theft a strange one. It has me pretty furious. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really keep in contact with the police who handled it, sounds like the thieves are really active so sooner or later they'll get caught and some stuff will be recovered. Your books are pretty much no use to anyone else and has a way better chance of being discovered than bikes etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdRock Posted 1May, 2018 Report Share Posted 1May, 2018 keep an eye on Facebook marketplace too - as I've found the people on there to be even dodgier than Scumtree. Also try posting a wanted add on Gumtree - just a vague Porsche Parts / Gauges wanted ad. Use your Melbourne details. Probably worth checking local Cash Converters too. Effing junkies.

Stew F Posted 1May, 2018 Report Share Posted 1May, 2018 Does the (not so) secure garage have CCTV? Are you on any of the Australian Porsche facebook pages? Classic Porsche Australia, Pre 95 porsche buy/swap/sell australia are 2 that are quite active. It would be worth posting on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is a lot of CCTV in there. I can see about 5 cameras from where my car is parked. Hopefully this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Al, Some of us here and I administer the Classic Porsche Australia FB page and if you join and do a post, I'll pin it to the top of the announcements section. There are 700 Australian members in all states...So there might be a chance we hear of your stuff. Regardless, we will monitor. Good luck, sal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aljames01 Posted 7July, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 7July, 2018 Just an update; Police executed a search warrant on a bloke last week. Got my Porsche charger and service history. Gauges gone, so they may still pop up somewhere. Anyway, some good news;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
