I know its a slim chance but i thought I may as well post this

Last monday night (14th Feb) someone came onto my dads property and stole our trailer with our kanga loader (digger) on it.

If anyone has seen this, there is a reward of $5000 for information leading to the recovery of these goods.

The digger is worth about $30,000 but someone will probably try sell it for

$20,000 of even less. So if you hear of anyone with a nice near new digger who bought it "cheap" or trying to off load one let me know.

The trailer is fairly old and a dark blue colour (could have been easily resprayed I know, but if they did a bodge home job you could probably still find a trace of the colour underneath.)

The kanga loader is green and gold (also could have been resprayed) and is near new, maybe 100 hours on the clock, they got 2 of the post hole borers and the bucket attachment that was also on the trailer too.

Dont have any photos of it but heres one off their website.

Hate to say this earth moving equipement are VERY RARELY recovered from theft, as they usually find themself on large property and then parts donner to another identical machine which the thief have bough legal.

You'll find most heavy machinery are fitted with sat. tracking, These are the only case where they are found and theif caught.

recent conversation with a insurance broker, he said a caterpillar skid steer loader similar to ones we have, went missing from a site and the police used the sat track, to trace it and found it sitting in a garage of a house in marsden.

Sorry fellas forgot to mention stolen from Calamvale, QLD Brisbane. Could be in NSW by now for all we know.

As I said we know its a long shot but its worth at least trying. And trust us, if we do find who stole it they will be shot.

My dad cant even remember the rego on his trailer but hes not too worried about getting that back, its the kanga we want.

Thanks for lookin out, my dad and I both appreciate it alot.

Is there a kanga forums???? For fully sick and phat kangers????

Nah just joking, maby contact kanga them selves and tell them the serial or vin for this unit and see if they have any ideas on how to track it down...

EG> If someone comes to me looking for a PSU for a notebook i ask for the P/N and the S/N. If they give me the numbers i order the part. If they dont give me the serial, i walk out after them and take their rego for the police. I explain why i need the S/N, most dont comply and walk away, as they know if they give it to me. It will be listed stolen, and i need their details for the order.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
