Well here we go with the update ..

We went to have a look at the car. So when we get there the towy told us that is had been involved in a high speed car chace which is where they side swiped the cops. The speeds are unknown but a lady that saw the car on the way back to the impounding yard told the towy that the speed looked scary (what ever that is??)

As for damage, they have made a meal of the front bar, absolutely hammered the rear bar leaving it just hanging on by a thread, there is a large compression dent in the rear quarter panel on the passenger side, which has taken all the paint off, there is a massive ding and scratch in the rear drivers quarter panel. The back has been hit so hard that the boot has popped open and will not even get close to closing, the interior is surprisingly still all there but wrecked anyway as they left the sunroof open in the wet and it is all soaked. The Momo gear knob. Steering wheel and pedals are still all there, there are no scratches on the mags and the ruber still looks new :)

All in all I think that it will be written off due to the fact that the interior is stuffed and that every panel on the car has a scratch or dent on it, therefore the entire car will need to be resprayed!!! Not cheep.

THE PLOT THICKENS!!

After talking to the towy for a bit we asked about a couple that were looking through a blue commodore that had freshly had prints taken from it. The towy said that the cops had just caught the guys that took it and the ppl were there to make a report on what was missing for a court case tomorrow!!!!! And then …..

The towy said that there were fake plates in the back of the lancer… but they had not had enough time to put them on … and here we go !!! the plates were of the Blue Commo, I shit you not !!!!!

So after some further talking to the owners of the commo they had gone in to a pub in Logan at 8:00pm last night for a single beer and came out with no car. Logged it as stolen straight away. They must have driven it around all night and then dumped it (not sure where) taken the plates off it and gone to my mate place, broke into his house, stole the keys and then took his for a bash. The commo was found at 9:00ish and was at the holding yard by lunch. The police chace in my mates car was at 9:30, and it was found just b4 lunch!!!

So these little **** heads (sorry about the language) flogged a car… drove around for a while … got board then decided to break into a house then flog another car, have a high speed police chase … and then dump it …

I would say a fairly busy night for the pricks!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Yet again thanx to everyone for posting and looking for me!!!!

Cheers
