Peter John Posted 6July, 2023 Report Share Posted 6July, 2023 I cringe at this and I’m sorry to hear of the theft. It’s one thing to have a daily or nice run of the mill car stolen but rare cars bikes or parts is not the same. Hard to replace if at all. To think it’s so well orchestrated is a worry- I’m very protective on my items with any trades coming and going, neighbours, folk driving by etc but if things were to be stolen you’re happy for them to take if firstly no one is hurt or put in fear, and insurance coverage is sufficient (despite items not being able to be replaced due to being so rare) it ruins the hobby- you wish that they would just steal run of the mill stuff if they have to. I’ll keep an ear out. Some of this stuff is like an unsolved murder- you hope that these items surface one day and no just disappear with no conclusion- it’s worth more in sentimental value and the thief’s don’t give two shits for anything more than a quick buck. luzzo and Yeatesy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 7July, 2023 Report Share Posted 7July, 2023 Sadly this sounds very much like it was targeted. Scumbags likely already had a buyer lined up before they did the job. Here’s hoping they get caught. 3legs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3legs Posted 7July, 2023 Report Share Posted 7July, 2023 Surely there must be some CCTV footage down that street that would show the truck/van used to transport them. Are the Police doing anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also how you worded that sounds like a car dealer- getting a deal done before they’ve got the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troubleshooter Posted 7July, 2023 Report Share Posted 7July, 2023 14 hours ago, luzzo said: It certainly feels like a targeted strike - someone knew they were there. No other adjoining garages were broken into. Sadly, I have been through every scenario as to who/how etc, but come up with nothing. 🤯 Luz that's a hard to come by collection, well sought and hard earned. They are rare enough and too distinctive, It's a pro job. If they were taken in one pinch, stealing those is physically tough to do with time, noise and van/truck logistics. No matter who had the info or who/how it was passed onto etc down the line, that'd be hard to crack. The cops will just sit and wait for them to possibly turn up or stumble over them while pinching some crook for something else. If it were me I'd by paying whatever it takes for an investigator to incessantly and thoroughly doorknock all surrounding properties up n down the street etc to get some video footage. Just need a bit of luck and a clue of a distinctive vehicle, hire vehicle, rego plate etc etc to get on the trail. Good luck mate. 3legs, MARTY, sleazius and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 7July, 2023 Report Share Posted 7July, 2023 I've let the manager know at our motor museum too. He is a bike guy with some rare stuff, so I let him know in case he hears anything, and also whether there is a "new" collector wanting to display in the museum (yes, I suspect someone could be so bold, or it could be an unknowing purchaser) luzzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZ930 Posted 7July, 2023 Report Share Posted 7July, 2023 I approached our car and bike club president here in Tamworth on Thursday night, with the intention of spreading the word and to my surprise he already knew, so the word is spreading rapidly.

3legs Posted 17July, 2023 Report Share Posted 17July, 2023 @luzzo There was a bust of 2 foreigners charged with stealing high end goods in Victoria recently. Was in the news this morning. Apparently a container load of goods were found valued at $2m. Might want to contact the Police just in case. https://www.9news.com.au/national/burglaries-melbourne-pair-accused-of-stealing-2-million-of-property-across-60-melbourne-burglaries/88c49def-7fed-421d-8def-96d326b798f3 luzzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Krix Posted 18July, 2023 Report Share Posted 18July, 2023 Would it be worth to post all over social media and platforms a reward for information leading to recovery of goods? Could be financed out of insurance payout , crowd funding, etc. luzzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
