UPDATE - from Matt's FB status.

My
cars been stolen tonight at 8.30 from Genesis Box Hill, I'll write a
proper status soon but keep an eye out for those who know what it looks
like, last seen in Hawthorn where the occupants assaulted someone.
Please keep an eye out.

Glad it has been recovered. Hopefully not too much damage.

Seems that sharing these theft bulletins on Facebook might be working.

Might make the scum think twice about stealing an import knowing that thousands of enthusiasts will be looking for them.

[Count Grantleyish]

Yep, facebook bulletins does work, this is 2nd or 3rd case within SAU.

The power of social networking.

The key is to get it out there as fast as possible... and onto SAU Facebook and Drift Sales etc...

Spam spam spam, share share share

Get the image into people's minds before the drive home from work that night, etc

I was actually scared that people would be on Facebook aware but not out on the road while it's out there. Didn't matter, someone saw the poster the night it was stolen and then spotted it parked the next day. If it wasn't for 20+ people from SAU, my friends from high school days, Stolen Imports, Estblishd, Racepace, Aaron at IM and a few other facebook groups whos names escape me for spreading it like wildfire, I think they would have returned last night and burnt it out for sure, just like their last car.

So where did they find it? Hope they didn't damage anything.

[Borci88]

A guy from I think Drift Sales lives in Deer Park, a couple of streets away and drove past it parked on the side of the road how you can see in the photo.

So I raced down there at midnight last night and waited till 3.30am for police to turn up, they didn't turn up but instead just sent a tow truck...

Good news to hear Matt, has the finger printing been sorted yet?

[currymeister]

police dont fingerprint stolen cars

if they do i would be suprised

[Zabrina]

Sooo Lucky to get the car back!!!!

Mine was totally destroyed ! Scum that steal cars !!!!

[blah_blah]

police dont fingerprint stolen cars

if they do i would be suprised

Why wouldnt they? Its pretty standard procedure

[Borci88]

I know for a fact that they fingerprint some and others they don't, it's the luck of the draw. In saying that though, the car was involved in torching another car 20 minutes afterwards, and then later on in the night the occupants jumped out of the car and assaulted someone in Hawthorn, thus the dire need to get some good prints.

Has anyone else noticed how the large majority of import theft occurs in the western suburbs and where it doesnt the car ends up there anyways

[alex182]

yeah, someone a while ago in the vic section made a google map of all the stolen club cars. almost all on the west side of town
