Just been searching Facebook following a glimpse of it yesterday - S.A. now?
Saw this on youtube yesterday - recently uploaded
That r10 in video had an r12 motor in it going by alternator position,exhaust engine pipe,heater hose above alternator.looks like 10s throttle linkage also.maybe some mods specific to one of yours David?
No keydidn't see why they needed to move it around on forks when it was running??
I turned the sound off as soon as it started.No key
I felt sad reading through these posts again as it is familiar territory.Restitution orders against losers never get any money back but it would have helped getting some parts back. Decisions by magistrates are often hard to follow. Seem to be chosen because of their sympathetic understanding of criminals. When we want Judge Jeffries.
Scrap dealers are mostly untrustworthy sorts of people. Some worse than others.
This is why people who have old cars parked in paddocks and sheds don't want people sniffing around them. These "internet explorers" who "find" abandoned cars and buildings are nothing more than thieving trespassers.
I was always of the impression that the buyer of a stolen car lost it. Be wary of going down the lawyer path, easy to be led into expensive action with no result.
My advice is get a security system and also cameras, they are worth the investment and are not all that expensive these days. I know they won't stop the thugs breaking in but you will know that they have broken in and will have a video of the doing so. At least the cops will have some evidence to follow up.I felt sad reading through these posts again as it is familiar territory.
On the off chance of theft you need the vehicle numbers and photos etc.
In fact on a rural property you need the details for everything on your place.
When the police become involved they are pretty useless and go through the motions, sort of.
After years of strife with neighbours i locked all the gates , put up signs which mean no consent to entry.
Police knew who the culprits were and there were rifle shots fired in my daughter's direction they failed to do anything.
Local copper at the time was caught screwing the female offender in the bush by one retired school principal.
We had 50 Ultra Fine stud ewes stolen and police did nothing.
18 months later the Wool Broker at Cooma tells me that he got a mixed bale of wool that had my wool in it , which he knew by sight.
Did i sell my sheep to this woman, he asked.
Queanbeyan police got onto the woman or said they would. Nothing happened.
All they had to do was ask her where she got them?
Broker said none in the region has these Sir Thomas , Saxon sheep.
Now how bloody hard is it?
A few round Yass. Warnambool and Western Districts, only a few people have them.
More sheep thefts but on a minor scale , tags removed , even the local shearer figured the there were thefts when he did sheep around the area.
I have a lot of stuff in the house at the farm undercover , with sheets over it .
Bikes i don't want peering eyes to see .
Cars in the shed but i can't be there all the time.
My young grandson is different to and i feel sorry for those who try to steal.
Most of us here just want a peaceful life and not have people in our face causing us grief.
Sorry about this , the thread put me in a spin.
The cars in the shed i worry about .
Work cheap too!A couple of these seem to keep the undesirables out as well.
Works for me anyway.
