I don’t understand that bit - in this day and age of video conferencing especially.Hoping the police will do their job, I'm in Tasmania so very limited to what I can do from here without flying over.

I thought you may have the wrong address as I gave the police a screen shot of google earth showing both containers.Without wanting to appear to be a stalker ... it seems fairly easy to find via Google Earth given the power lines, but that shows only the yellow container and no cars in the open. When did the red container turn up? VicRoads may have camera records from the nearby intersection and there are several nearby businesses who would have street security coverage. There isn't really any other way out of that area. If you can find the date of Google image it may help you know if they all went in one go or one at a time. Maybe, also check Street view. Google do update both periodically. Perhaps, a friend can add some other wreck to the yard with a motion sensitive camera nearby and wait for the opportunsts to return???
David that is devastating to hear that and the inaction, Probably too long retired, but will make a couple of inquiries to see how this can be progressed. I hope the additional interest in tracking these will turn up some information or even locate them for you. Obviously some insider information or local interest to target containers like that.

Thanks guys, I can see cars have been pulled out in March, and the dauphine out in the field with all its doors bonnet and boot open.It looks like nearmap would photograph that location approx every second month if anyone on here has a subscription.
on the desktop / browser, street view there's a 'timer' icon for a timeline.Where have you found the additional imagery?
Yup I have container numbers, and most of the VINs of the cars, but yes I'm resigned to the fact a large part of my retirement is gone.I was going to say. If you can get access to nearmaps, they take many shots per month at very good resolution (better than Google Earth) so you could actually follow the entire operation and perhaps capture some useful detail. It may even be worth paying a subscription (don't know what it cost) for a short time and download all the pictures you can just in case. You might even get lucky and see a car, a truck, something involved in the operation, something that can give you a lead. By the sounds of it, they opened the containers (or at least one) on site and maybe took the cars one by one or several at one time, who knows?
That and asking the neighbours I would say that's your best shot. I would actually be suspicious of neighbours saying they had seen nothing. Someone opening and closing containers, moving cars, cars perhaps with trailers coming and going, or car carriers or even container trucks are not that discrete.
The police won't do anything unfortunately.
I would also have a look on nearmaps at various businesses around the property see what's happening there. And I would also look for the containers themselves. They're more difficult to hide and most likely places are easily spotted on satellite imagery. Do you have the container numbers? They are always recorded in some manifest and easily found if they enter some legitimate operation, which I doubt, but hey, it's worth a shot.
My money sez it's some local job, don't think the cars will make it overseas. I would say it was all about the containers and the cars were most likely dumped in some scrap yard and crushed long ago. Containers were probably reborn. New numbers, maybe new paint, sold or already in whatever use they were pinched for.
Sorry.
Miserable business.
Dated April 2014, not 2021.this is from april :\
