It seems that there is a rise in thefts of "classic" aussie muscle cars?
AMC ran an article in last months edition about rebirthing of stolen cars.

One wonders about the fact that these stolen cars are supposedly being stolen to sell to other "enthusiests" ?

A few years ago eBay was full of fake sellers selling cars which were not theirs to sell, one wonders if this relatively easy means of selling has attracted more people out of the wood work into this field of theft?

Im very concerned about my coupe going missing.

which is why i have not and never will join a ford car club. i had a chat to a police friend who said that thieves were also members of some clubs, and knew where and when certain cars would be, and even knew about the owners security arrangements.

tell no one how you store or disable your car. do not tell them what type brand or model of car alarm you have.

i am a member of another car club, fortunately that brand is obscure and low in value, therefore no one steals them. in fact people ring me up and ask me to come and take their old non-going ones away on occasion.

id like to see car thieves hung from light poles in public car parks with a sign around their neck saying 'car thief' and the bodies left to rot.

It worked for horse thieves. Seems right to continue on with horsepower.
