And if he did, we’d know the exact date of the theft… just count 3 days back from the messiah’s second coming!If also stolen, He would have reappeared after 3 days.
He’s just a very naughty boy!

So sorry to hear that. What a bugger of a thing to happen.Hi guys, I've been agonizing about posting on here, but I've decided I really have to in-case someone in VIC (or interstate?) has seen anything.
I've had 2 40 foot shipping containers and 11 cars, various tools, engines, panels and parts etc... all stolen from a property in Epping.
I was alerted to them being missing on the 1st of July, they may have been removed earlier, but I don't think much before.
x2 Dauphines (pink red one, and a yellow one)
x2 R10 (burgundy red, and white)
x2 R8 (both white)
x3 R16 (x1 burgundy early french built TS, x1 early 16 white, and a late model white R16)
x1 4CV (white with rusty patina)
x1 Fuego GTX (red)
Containers are both 40 foot high cubes, one is yellow, the other a terracotta red.
I've called around wreckers and some side load companies but there are lots of places out there, it seems a bit futile.
If anyone has any info can you either PM me, or contact Epping Police station.
The containers would have either been moving North or South via Epping road.
I'd like to put off posting on social media until the police have conducted initial investigations, as not to drive said thieves underground.
Thankyou,
David.
Let me know when, and I can send a message out to the national 4CV community. We cover the RERs too - R8s for sale usually attract attention!I'd prefer to keep it here for now if that's ok.
what websites did you have in mind?
I'll be calling the Epping police station first thing in the morning to 'persuade' them to open an investigation.
I have had some assistance from a awesome aussiefrogger who tried to make a statement on Monday.
Initially the police were refusing to even take a statement from me from TAS.
I had just been thinking about scrap metal prices. I came back here to say that I couldn’t understand why anyone would have stolen the cars etc just to scrap them.Containers have doubled in value since I bought them and scrap metal prices are high too.

Obviously something has changed in the big smoke compared to rural areas. Scrap is worth next to nothing around here. I don’t have a lot of it, but the people I know who do have lots are keeping it, still, waiting for the price to go up. Unless they don’t have any space left to store their scrap.
One mechanic I spoke to about 10 days ago said that he had someone come to take his old batteries. The price was terrible, he told me, and the buyer wanted the mechanic to do all of the loading onto the truck.
“I’m not going to stop working and do the loading for that low price!” is what he told the buyer.
But I have heard that the price of containers has just about doubled in the past two years.
Cheers,
Andrew
hmm, I can't even see in that shed if I squint. I tried a bit of gamma too but couldn't make anything out.post 45and post 60 (with blue prime mover) both appear to have a vehicle still in shed behind blue tarp, r16?r/f guard area? jim
I wouldn't rely on it in court, but quite possible its a 16 still there. I did try looking around the back in streetview but I can't see anything conclusive.yeah lower left corner of shed doorway within the triangle made by piece of steel leaning at gate appears to be r/f white guard of r16 ...jim
you're right it's likely to be March / AprilDavid, did you really mean to put the time frame of "Late May - early April' in the heading (& later in the text) of your notice to the scrap yards?
