Purple78... My intentions NOT to start a class war here... I grew up in the Ascot Vale & Flem/Ken Housing Commission area, later knocking around in Broadie, so am versed in the Mac Fields dilema to a certain degree?
I know I'm way off topic here, but THE point being, As rough as the area, as tough as the times, We STILL had respect for people, AND their property, AND the law!
I am NOT going to get on my soapbox over this. & sorry if any offence taken.

i didnt contact the poo-lice no... its in a area of the national park that the rangers use for the storage of scrap iron that gets dumped till it gets collected... right next to their offices and vehicle yard.. so i assume they would have

and of course i didnt touch the car.....
car is a bit of an over statment... this is a disected corpse of a car... bits of the shell but nothing lef that actually makes it a car

Thats what he said, i interpret that to mean its been found and taken to a holding yard.

However there are a number of contradictory statements in this thread so it may all even be a load of crap. Hope not though.

I know of one blueprint BA GT that parks up there, only a small part of the area is housing comission and rough like whats been shown on the news. Just a bunch of drop kick's who think they deserve life handed to them, and that they are above the law because they are poor.

Now the big problem is that the cops were sitting on the car for over a week, it was being used as a runner. Why weren't they knocked off before hand. I think theres a bit more to it and it wont get released. But i am in nowway defending these tools.

i know absolutely nothing about the riots or why they even started but if this car was being used as a runner, the cops would have 'sat on it' for so long so they could try and get more evidence and the bigger fish too.

I don't want to see the pics. I reckon it would be heart-breaking to see a BA in the condition described.

Ok, not doubting you or anything, but if there was so little of it left, how do you know it was a Phantom BA Ute?

If it was in a scrap yard chances are NPWS and the Police already know about it anyway.

no its not a bullshit story i know i;m only a new member on here but at least some of you should recognise me from various other car forums in Oz
i'll get the pics up when i can but since my main computer is dead as a doornail at the moment thats proving difficult

the car is in a section of the Scheyville National Park at Windsor
from what i can figure the rangers there have dragged it out of the bush and dumped it with the burnt out lancer type car and other metal scrap awaiting disposal

i'm sure some of the members here live out that way... you go get the pics and prove me right/wrong
considering i have 2 mates that both have Phantom Xr;s which i travel in regularly i recognised the colour as soon as i saw it, and the shapes/pieces left cant be anything other than a ute... you do the math

Ok, fair enough, i wasnt meaning to suggest youre making it up, probably not the best choice of words. Just that one minute you were saying it was in the bush and next you were saying it was in a holding yard type area.

Who gives a rat's a** about pic's anyway. The car was stolen, the car was stripped, the car was dumped. Bad luck. Get over it.

i think since you have come across the BA it is YOUR duty to inform the police about it. they may or may not know, that isnt the point. infact i think there are laws about things like this, where if you find something that is suspect or stolen you have the obligation to contact the police about it.
