Stolen R34 White 4 Door - Dd862A

[ajd]

Hey guys just an update: Got my car back from Ottoway compound.

Car had half a tank of fuel (had nothing when it was stolen) but seemed ot only travel about 20km as per my speedo. They initially told me that the window had been smashed so that was a bit annoying. Me and my mate picked it up, started it with the trusty screw driver and to my amazement while I was driving my drivers window closed when I hit the button!

Basically they ripped my weather shield off, pushed my window down and then snapped the ignition. They also tried to rip my CD player out so the aircon controls are broken and my gear surrond is on the back seat but still everything works fine. I was also worried about the compliance plate and the papers from my glove box being tampered with but they were all there (compliance paper was scrunched up though?).

I'm a very lucky guy - the car drives just like it did and the tyres have full tread still. There was no damage to the outside at all and the inside got off pretty well too.

PS - the wig issue in the car ended up being my missus hair extensions packet (nice on SAPOL)

Thought id let everyone know. Thanks again for everyones help!

Great to hear you managed to get it back relatively unscathed...a while back a mate's Skyline was stolen, stripped, burnt out and dumped 20km away within 24 hours of being nicked.

Hey mate mine was stolen on 26th and found the morning of hte 27th. I ended up getting it back on the Wednesday (so 6 days but over a weekend). It was annoying because we got the run around for days about this copper signing the form as he was duty and didnt check his emails every day. They also told me it was not ready but I had a message from the policeman saying that the car had been ready since Monday and that he had tried to contact me and my girlfriend when he didnt.

Just make sure you get on your back if your really keen to get it out. You wont have to pay any towing of the car that the police did at all. I didnt get any compensation - I was really lucky and it was only the ignition and a mate had one lying around for a good price (and a new GOOD alarm). They found no prints or anything in my car so they just gave it back to me with that black powder shit everywhere...

Did they say your drivers window was gone? because they told me mine was gone but the guy stole the car by pushing the window down so your passanger window should still be there. I know its hard not to worry with it sitting there and not being able to see it but it might come out without that much damage if he was planning on re using the parts on his - just think positive!

Hey man that's lucky and great news or you with basically no damage or major costs just the inconvenience. Nah nothin was said about the windows or anything all I know is the compliance plate was taken (not sure if it's the sticker or the build one) the battery was taken, the glovebox (wierd) the ignition, and I think th drivers seat or something, hope the dude just put the parts in his car so the cops can just take them out and give them back to me, but there lies the problem of proving they are myn etc. I'm hopin my wheels are still on the car as they are worth a bit ad the Tyres were less than 5000kms old and at $350 a corner.. Also hope this mofo has some assets as I will be seeking compensation to get the car back to the tuning condition it was in 6 weeks ago when it was stolen.

I'm thinking that because of the parts situation myn will take longer then 6 days for them to clear it
