I recall some school friends of mine got busted up the coast; the problem with country roads is the cops block them off.  In their case they were pulled up with other traffic and told to use their car as part of the road block. They just sat there waiting and could hear roaring V8's of the cop cars heading down the mountain roads then the cop cars turned up and when the cops got out, pointed and said, 'these are the guys here!' and locked them up.

They got done for stealing handbags out of parked cars so I can only imagine the fervour of all the cops in the area that night looking for armed thieves in a 'supercar'. They would've been buzzing around the Sydney area like flies circling a turd; on the lookout for these thugs.

I suspect the car was driven to somewhere nearby or the cops were called after it was safely tucked away.

All apologies to the owner if it's a legitimate theft but it just doesn't sound right to me.

 :hi: It did sound a bit far fetched to be on the side of the road with the bonnet up and have it stolen at gun point.

I don't know about the cops version of this .

I was at that event and did look as few XA/XB   Fix Or Repair  Daley`s ( fords)
I don't remember much about the fords that were there on the day. I did take photos of some of the chevs .

I may be paranoid, but I don't believe anything I'm told or read  until I prove it myself.

A few of us suspected it was fiction; to put it nicely.

"But police now say it was a lie and the vehicle didn't exist - except on paper as part of a false insurance claim."

According to RMS, the vehicle does exist:

1970 FORD XYGT SEDAN
VIN/Chassis: ********140C

The registration expires on 11/02/2016.

"The woman has been charged with making a false statement to police and fraud. Her partner has been charged with perverting the course of justice, two counts of fraud and stealing a motor vehicle."

That newspaper story is all a bit odd given that the police can quickly check the registered owner's name and address, and follow-through if necessary with the club who has the H plate on its register.

So, the guy claims his own car was "stolen" and then claims the "theft" on his insurance? If so, why has he been charged with stealing a motor vehicle? (Maybe that's in relation to another vehicle the cops found in his possession?)
