Vivid I’m the Citroen fan and lawyer / broadcaster someone referred to… send me a private message and happy to see if I can help you, cheers, jon faine.
Vivid, your distress will be relieved by getting some legal advice and input from Jonf. Embarking on your own strategy without good advice will result in more distress and very likely a poor outcome. I have no knowledge of jonf however he would appear to have the skills, knowledge and potential media connection you need.Thankyou Jon, I appreciate yours and other AF members interest.
I'll send you a message over lunch, thanks.
I had been reserved about going nuclear on advertising the theft on social media etc as not to complicate any pending investigation, but the lack of action has been causing me cumulative distress.
Being interstate and overworked doesn't really help things either.
I'm not sure what arrangements the police have to store such things if they were recovered, I no longer have storage so its another problem I'd be happy to have.
You’ve got my email, send me some details of what you want done. I’m in town this coming weekend and possibly Monday.Thanks Haakon, yes that would help.
If not just a fact finding mission.
I might be interested in buying some of my things back if I have good enough photos to identify them already.
I didn't really make a habit of taking photos of everything, but took photos when I was moving things.
Very little to no activity from vic police despite adding more information and asking what the progress is even in reporting the VINs to vicroads as stolen. To date none are listed as stolen and I was last told by VicRoads that is was 'regular for police to place stolen vehicle details'. In vague terms they wouldn't allow me to report my cars stolen.
I haven't called Epping police station in weeks as I was getting no-where but I will call the OIC at Epping PO tomorrow morning and try and get some answers now their covid duties are less of an excuse.
Obvously the loss of the cars is absolutely shattering. my hunt had stopped, and many those cars represented many other wrecked vehicles and years of effort.
I think the parts I'm really hurting for besides the 16 bits are the dauphine and R10/R8 parts.
I had atleast 4 sets of dauphine panels and doors all rust free, and a bunch of 750 doors which are unobtanium.
I'm just waiting for my pay to come through to book a boat ticket to try and get to VIC and back in a few days, if not before Christmas early January.

Find a lawyer. It needs the right letter to the right level.
moreso I want them to investigate who sold them to the wreckers, as the seller is the link to the containers, which are worth not a trivial amount of money. And then who they sold them to.A government sponsored legal service will at least help you write one. You do need to act to compel the wreckers to understand that they are selling stolen property. They won't want to be a part of that.
I recall this was discussed many many posts ago, as was the issue of legal advice and strategy to progress the investigationI just don't understand why the police aren't acting, but it is what it is I guess.
