| Hi Perth Members, just got off the phone to my good mate Carlos who just informed me that his Soarer got stolen from his place in the Melville area on Tuesday morning, so I am posting this thread on his behalf cause he is not a member of this forum just yet. He has brought his car to a couple of our cruises so some of you may recognise it. It's a SILVER 1991 V8 limited with rego plates reading 1BMJ-279 and has 18 inch alloys otherwise stock in appearance with rear factory spoiler. Also is badged as a LEXUS but has no badge on front bumper just the rear boot lid and has a small patch of primer on the right of the boot lid where the SOARER badge usually is. Also has Limited badges on both front guards. Anyway just thought I'll put this up here for him as the police have not found it yet and maybe some of you guys/gals may come across it on the side of the road over the weekend or whatever. Anyways here are the only pics I could find so far which are actually off this forum.
The first 2 pics show the car in the centre and the last photo gives you guys an idea of what the wheels look like. If anyone happens to see it please don't hesitate to call my mate Carlos on 0430044649 cause this car has been well looked after and has been in his family for years and he did have big plans for it in the future. Also Carlos told me that he will offer anyone who happens to find or know the where abouts resulting in the return of the car a REWARD of $500. Thanks in advance Dave |

| The police are a waste of time I had a loan car stolen and recovered and it was not until the rego renewal had not arrived 8 months later we worked out it was still on the stolen vehicles list. Drove around all over Adelaide and spent 2 weeks at Sturt police station with a copper driving it while putting a motor in his car and nobody noticed a thing. The best bet you have is to ring the cab and courier companies with a description and rego number and offer a $100 reward they will actually keep an eye open and not be to busy trying to raise revenue. I know of 4 cars and 1 caravan that have been found this way |

| UPDATE! my mate just called me and said that the police called him at around 11pm last night saying they found the car. It was dumped in the outskirts of Freo and is being held by the police for forensic testing cause it was believed to have been involved in a string of burglaries. The upside is the cops told him the car is drivable but until my mate goes to collect it doesnt know how much damage has been done to it. |

| yesterday my mate got his car back. I saw it last night, luckily no panel damage or anything but needs a few things that are missing like petrol flap and a couple of spruce interior parts (middle cup holder near handbrake and drivers door trim) that were damaged. If anyone has these things for sale you can pm me so i can let him know or call Carlos on the number above. Cheers |
