My FTO was stolen yesterday in an armed robbery at Auburn, Sydney. As i guess theres a chance it may be seen Marickville/Hurstville or Cabra area. Below is a pic of it and if u see it or anything, please call the cops and tell them the location... or anything...
The cops are still looking 4 it and i've only got 3rd party so this is pretty devastating. Thanx 4 help ppl.

hmmm... maybe it's not a bad idea to invest in a fuel-kill switch... that way if you leave the car somewhere dodgy, you can turn it on and the thieves will never be able to hot-wire the car and drive it off (if you know of a smart place in the cabin to hide the kill-switch)

yep, it was the PC shop at auburn... on the news dis morning.
It was an armed raid by 4 guyz into the shop and they took basically everything including my keys. I didn't want to let it go but i had no say when i got a barrel against my head. So no alarm could've prepared me, a Quicktrak would've helped though...

Well, good news after a long day, they actually found my FTO at Earlwood. Feel relieved but the wheels and Alpine system is gone. 2nd time my system is gone and yes, it truly does suck. So far, it's in 'fairly good' condition and my front bar shattered basically.
I think i'm gonna collapse when i see it again, maybe coz i'm glad or coz of the condition its in, but wow, 1 day recovery is good.. think its coz i had no gas left in the tank

thanx 4 the support ppl!

did u have 3rd party fire & theft?
because if u did they'll pay out up to $4000 i think it is (at least w/ my insurance company) but $4g is enough to fix whatever damage they may have caused...

Anyway, hope ya FTO isnt done to bad n hopefully you'll be back on the road in no time.

I was a pain but Lucky You KillaFlop!
At least you get back your baby.
Hope your insurance cover the damage and lost parts. I would say, go through your insurance policy and find any possible holes that you can talk to them to get covered of the lost. Good luck mate!
