This, the worst day of my life.

Iggypoppin' · 03-04-2010, 06:46 PM

hi all. i'm writing this to express my anger, and sadness, at a lowlife crime that occured this morning, around 1am. my car was stolen from my mates house, and torched near oaklands park. i am absolutely devastated, as that car was my life and my biggest investment. i am, however, more angry than sad. i can't believe what car thieves do, it would have been better if the car was just dumped there so i could have retrieved it and still used it. instead they set fire to it and left it there to burn. my parents where woken up to the police telling them what had happened, and then i in turn woke up around midday at my mates to find my car was gone. many of you know me and how much i loved that car. this thread is only to express my hatred of these scum and to urge people to please, lock up and park in secure places. it could happen to anyone. here are some pics my dad took this morning..

Very sorry to hear, Was it insured?

I know the insurance money won't repair the emotional hurt from experiencing that but at least it will hopefully allow to get another one and rebuild.

Car thieves suck!

Iggypoppin' · 03-04-2010, 06:57 PM

yes, insured but even after the payout ill still owe money on it..im in a financial mess right now, this is the last thing i needed

CFOUR · 03-04-2010, 07:00 PM

i hate too say it but you're lucky the torched it. if they had just dissapeared it you'd have to wait 3 months before seeing a dime.

check with your insurance company to see if you have any gap cover, if you owe more than the payout they will pay it all off for you.

i checked, there is no gap cover unfortunatly.

all up ill be around 3.5k in the red, but without bills to maintain the car i guess it won't take long to pay down. im just so upset that i lost my car...

MITCHAY · 03-04-2010, 07:08 PM

That is harsh man

LUXO_8 · 03-04-2010, 07:13 PM

damn that sucks hard..... im sure many of us know just how much time and cash goes into keeping a nice looking car, id be devistated if that happened to my fairlane

Molloy · 03-04-2010, 07:16 PM

Mate I feel for you, just nothing but scum bags. If my car was stolen I would be destroyed. Look 2 the future champ, karma will get them it always happens

loosey · 03-04-2010, 07:22 PM

That's sad to see, I've seen your car a few times near Marion. If you don't mind me asking, where was it stolen from? Pics look like the carpark behind the driving school at Oaklands Park.

ThePistonHead · 03-04-2010, 07:22 PM

Thoughts with you, must be a terrible feeling.

May I ask how they stole it? Did they break into the house and take the keys?

cycle myth · 03-04-2010, 07:22 PM

Thats bad news, I feel for you and it makes you look at people differently sometimes.

To look at it differently, you're still standing upright, you're well, and can replace that pride and joy with a new one.

If you owe more than the insurance payout there are a few things you might be able to do:

1) check if you have "GAP" insurance as part of your motor vehicle insurance or it may have been part of the finance package

2) speak with your finance company - odds are if the amount is not too big - you may be able to fund it into your next purchase (not always ideal to do but it will get you back on the road).

There's another car out there with your name on it - and you're still around to be driving it.

AU3XSR · 03-04-2010, 07:23 PM

Sorry to hear about this mate. :-( Its disapointing to think that there are such low life ppl out there. Chin up buddy...what goes around comes around...

zdcol71 · 03-04-2010, 07:28 PM

Sad sight, my condolences

dannyhilton · 03-04-2010, 07:30 PM

Mate, I shed a tear just then. What a waste of a great car. All those who mentioned karma are spot on, because karma is a ********** and bites back twice as hard. I only hope you can get back on your feet and find the scum who thought this was a good idea. Always look forward, but don't ever forget the past...

**DJM83** · 03-04-2010, 07:32 PM

Sorry to see your pride and joy like that no words can describe how i feel seeing someones pride and joy looking like that. Also i cant type what i feel for the people that do this otherwise ill be banned, KARMA will get them remember that.
Can you post some pics of what she used to look like?

galaxy xr8 · 03-04-2010, 07:50 PM

Sorry to hear mate, I can't imagine what you are feeling right now, we all get so attached to our vehicle's and even selling them off is a hard thing to do, but to actually have this happen is heart wrenching, I hope it all work's out for you mate in the end.

matty88 · 03-04-2010, 07:51 PM

Mate that sucks BIG TIME, are forensics getting on it?

robbyg · 03-04-2010, 07:58 PM

Sad to see this sought of stuff, what do these morons get out of doing this, mate as said earliar what goes around comes around

FordFalconBF · 03-04-2010, 07:59 PM

Hey, how did they steal it? Did they steal the keys?

Were you at a party??? if you were most likely you might know the person or people who stole your car.

Iggypoppin' · 03-04-2010, 08:00 PM

to answer a few Q's: the keys where with me the whole time, and due to the level of damage, they cannot ascertain how the car was stolen. i assume a smashed window/hotwire.
i cant find the pics i once had, ill see if they are a bit deeper in the hard drive.

yeah, it was the back reserve of the driver training centre, oaklands park. apparently a spot known for torched cars in the past.

i don't care if this steps on peoples toes, if i ever meet the people responsible for this, ill do unspeakable violent things to them. this is definetly too far to go with a car..

thanks for the kind words guys.

bangm001 · 03-04-2010, 08:03 PM

Very sad mate, it angers me that the law is harsher for going 7km over the speed limit than on the thieving $%^#'s that did this! I bet nothing was followed up. Hope you get on top of things again soon. Did they get hold of the keys, are Ba's easy to steal?

Edit: we must have posted at the same time!

Iggypoppin' · 03-04-2010, 08:06 PM

no, as said, i had the keys, but due to the explosion from fuel in the tank, and the total devastation the fire caused, they dont think they will find any evidence. i wasn't at a party either, just at a mates watching films and having a few beers. worst weekend for this to have happened too :(

CFOUR · 03-04-2010, 08:06 PM

pro tip:
engage your steering lock every time you park you car.

Hey mate; you're not stepping on anyone's toes here. I'm with you all the way. Sorry this happened to you.
