Good luck. If you get a chance check around the back sts near the lost dogs home in North Melb behind the old footy ground and around top end around alfred sts always been a spot for dumped cars close to city but mostly industrial.

BUT a HUGE thanks to BOBMAN who is cruising around daily to help me out!! a great memeber from the forums and a good mate who helped me build the EA to what it became!

If anyone knows any other hot spots..please let us know!

Alot of cars turn up after the residents call and complain that a car has been parked outside there house in their street for a few weeks .

Also alot of the people who steal cars do so just to get home in style, they usually leave the car and take whatever is not bolted down though.

So there is still hope..............

With badefghia getting stolen it was a pain in the *** because it was stolen in stlkilda then the idiots decided to do a robbery in it...They where in carnegie and the cops saw em driving it but they managed to get away from them but where caught three hours later in oakliegh with it...I was lucky i only had to fix the front bar and window ingiton lock and door locks and fit a new alarm...I was lucky they got caught before they stripped the car or smashed it ...BUt because it was used in a robbery it sat in forenics for a month and because it had sat for a while low on fuel the cops tried starting it with no fuel or none in it and stuffef my fuel pump up and i had to put a battery in it but its it on the road again...TRy looking around the area where your car was stolen my mate had his car stolen and it was found at a railway station not far from where it was knocked of and it had been there for 6 weeks before any one noticed it,,,

Yeah definately that happened to my grandparents a few years back an old XB Coupe.
Man if I knew what it was back then dam..............

an amazing theft and recovery story.

one of the guys in my class was doing some chef work at geelong footy club or something and his crappy holden panno van was stolen.
on the Saturday night i think it was.

that Wednesday when we got to school he told us about it. and one of the guys goes but im sure i sore your car in town yesterday. and he remembered because it was parked half up on a gutter with the window down.

so on our lunch break they go for a drive and sure enough the car was still parked in a side street.
stolen a cd wallet i think. and minimal scratching on the bonnet.



these threads definitely help because there is a good chance someone sees it.

good luck mate.

[robtek]

geez holmsy, that is lucky

If all goes to plan, then on sunday i'll go for a long cruise and suss out around all CBD area :(

[robtek]

hi guys,

still no word about the EA:( ...have called the cops about 7 times now..and finally some senior seargent told me its either sitting in someone garage or at the bottom of the ocean which isnt very amusing...

If anyone see's the gold lowered EA...please let me know..likewise with any parts for sale...will get a very generous reward if the boys are caught who are responsbile and the car is still salvagable...

cheers,
Big Rob

theres an ea looks like its been dumpt this morning on median strip of princess hwy, just on the city side of where you get onto the princess from the sth gippy this morning.

Couldn't tell the colour in the yellow street lights, was couple of lanes away, but look like it could have been gold/grey/white/anything really.
It had no distinguishing feature that made it look like yours (not your wheels etc.), from what I saw it look like a real POS, but then yours might have had a rough few weeks.
Basically all i can say was its an EA with no front plate (dunno about rear i only saw front of car) that MIGHT be a similar colour to yours dumped on a median strip so probably 99% chance its not yours, but if you know someone out this way who knows your car it may be worth a 2 second look if you and they are keen

good luck
Russ.

[Bobman]

Cheers Rusty, I'll check it out after lunch.

[Bobman]

Well, I went past and it was a Silver / Aqua EA GL with 15" Interceptors and clear indicators, no plates, so maybe it was unregistered and placed there by police etc after a traffic stop.

So the search continues, thanks guys for keeping the tips in.

[robtek]

Thanks Rusty, it helps with people looking out for it, had a couple sightings already but they didnt turn out to be mine..either way need this thread to stay alive, this way more people will be aware of it and more chance of it popping up somewhere!

Massive thanks to bobman the champion, you know your true mates when your in need for sure.


Any other sighting of gold EA's around Vic or interstate, PLEASE let me know guys!

Cheers,
Big Rob

Bloody bastards. My cousin got his XE pinched in Ferntree Gully a while back, hope you have more luck than he did. Doubt it will make it's way out east but i'll keep an eye out around Lilydale/Bayswater.

sorry about sending you out to look at a dud tip, like i said i didn't get a good look at it but would have kicked myself hard if it had turned out to be the right car and I said nothing!
Good luck with the rest of the search!

20K loss..mate sorry to hear it, thats awful! :(

Thanks for keeping an eye out though...if anyone has any sightings please post!

[badefghia]

I hope you find out who took it man so you can pay them a visit a 3 in the morning...

[Bobman]

I'll pitch in for a reward for any info too, or any leads.

If it is in a garage, there won't be one after it is recovered, which I'm hoping will be soon, having driven in every suburb in a 20km square radius of the City, it must be sitting somewhere, un noticed.

Let's hope it turns up soon.

[alleyezonme]

sorry to say but its bn over a month and im tipping the car wont be found now.

That might be what you think, but many cars are not recovered for weeks, months or even years later.

As is the example of an old blokes EH Wagon, that was stolen and dumped in Sunshine in the 1970's and was recovered by Victoria Police at the bottom of a storm drain canal in 2004.

The chances are it is parked somewhere in a Housing Comission tower car park, where cars go un-noticed by residents, given most of their own cars have no rego, been there for years, etc.

[alleyezonme]

yeah but how long ago was that???? and what state was the car in when it was found?
these days are different alot of ppl take cars and strip them for money etc of just trash them.
im not saying i hope the guy doesnt find the car i wish him the luck with it but things are different these days and alot are lucky to get the cars back

[seXE]

my sisters VL got stolen FROM OUR DRIVEWAY!! about three years ago. We found it the very same night it was taken- my best friend called me and said the idiot who stole it had crashed into her house. total writeoff.

weirdest coincidence ever. my sisters car being smashed into my best friends house.
My brother got a VL just last week and he is paranoid to the max about it getting taken, so he parks it right at the top of the lawn near the house, and he makes me and my dad park our cars behind his.

[robtek]

I know it sounds stupid, but I will never lose hope lol :P too much love went into that machine:(

VL's are as easy to steal as the EA's seXE...but thats bu*lshit that it was taken from your driveway:(its not safe to park your car anywhere..cant believe they crashed into someones house that you knew
