$488,000 sports car stolen from NSW North Coast home
Date November 24, 2012 - 5:03PM A rare sports car, with an almost half a million dollar price tag, has been stolen from a property on the NSW central coast. The 1965 Shelby Cobra was stolen sometime on Thursday night from a home in Picketts Valley. The owner of the vintage silver and black car, worth an estimated $488,000, noticed it was gone at 5.30am on Friday morning. Anyone who might spot the rare vehicle, with number plates BB91FY is urged to contact police. http://brisbanetimes.drive.com.au/mo...124-2a05w.html

There is no end to the speed at which some theives are rushing to the bottom!! I hope the car comes back in one piece. But somehow I doubt it. A two hundred dollar GPS tracker could have had the car back alreday.....

Cheap car like any of us drive gets stolen, you can bet it's either some joyrider or possibly a thief stealing to order for parts or to resell after a few changes.
Expensive classic like this gets stolen, you just know it's for a special purpose. It's probably overseas already unfortunately. |

jammer or hammer, both would work to stop a gps device. i don't know how you go about registering a stolen car, but probably easy if you know the right people.
