TYPE 3 SQUAREBACK! RECOVERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SPRINTSTAR · 2006-09-03T20:55:28+00:00

Thank you all very much for the kind words,car was found by the police unscathed in a shopping centre carpark and it appears nothing has been stolen at this stage. We are still having it fingerprinted and checked for any possible mechanical damage etc...Thanks to all of you! :bounce [ Edited on 4-9-2006 by BUGBOY ] [ Edited on 4-9-2006 by BUGBOY ] [ Edited on 7-9-2006 by SPRINTSTAR ] [ Edited on 8-9-2006 by SPRINTSTAR ]

That's terrible news buddy. It's sad to think that you just can't leave your car overnight and expect to see it in the morning as/where you left it.

Hope it turns up. Love that car. We'll all keep our eyes peeled!!!😬

All the best, and if the car comes up this way, of course, I will let you know.

Dam that shit sucks. I agree with most on hear hopfully some dick wanting a ride home. Or its going to leave these shores for good. I would doubt someone has stolen it to break up as these parts would stand out like dogs balls if they ever came up on ebay the samba etc. Best of luck on the safe return, you know I'll have my eyes open for you.

baybus - i disagree, we have to know what to look out for, because the dick isn't going to put the car on eBay, as-is, and if he's smart enough to be reading this thread, then he'll be smart enough to not sell the parts/car on here, ebay oz, etc...

That is really bad news about the car dude. I'll keep my eyes peeled in the Sth East suburbs for any spottings. I hope it turns up safe and sound.

I've got Tassie covered for you in case he floats it across on the Spirit. Also mentioned it to the Ballarat VW mafia, who actually know the car - so that area is covered as well.

Fingers crossed for you.

I even bought some vintage luggage off ebay to be ready for its roof rack :cussing

Is there a local newspaper? A girl that had her EJ Holden stolen here on the northern beaches of sydney submitted a picture to the Manly Daily newspaper, they ran a small article and the car was found parked on a side street the next morning, i think the car was sitting there for a couple weeks but everyone just assumed it was a neighbours car.

I don't want to sound negative but if it wasn't joy riders, the person (extremely generous description) who took this may be on or viewing this forum.

Rest assured bud. Karma will come and bite them fair in the arse. Your car stands out, surely someone who knows someone saw something....
It would be a crime in itself to lose a car like this.
