Default Stolen from Perth Airport - Found

Kids,

Not quite a WRX but worth the same sort of money. We had the following truck stolen from the international airport last night.

They also did a fair bit of damage to another truck we had out there and stole about $10k of hand tools. Line trimmers / blowers etc.

If anyone hears or sees anything please give me a buzz.

It is all insured but in the mean time I have a crew standing around with not a lot to do.

It is easily identified by the different length drop sides on the tray.




Thanks

Brendon

Well Mr Plod found my truck today. Still running. Stinking of petrol. They found it on the side of the bussell hwy south of Bunbury. Apparently the interior has been absolutely doused in petrol. Story goes that the police were in the area looking for something else and must have scared the guys.

Damage is broken passenger window / windscreen / passenger rear vision mirror / drivers side indicator / front bumper.

How the hell do I get rid of the fuel smell?

Anyways now I have to go down to Funbury and pick it up.

Cheers

Brendon

Let the insurance company figure it out & pay for the clean-up & repairs.

Years ago I got into tanning skins, the remedy for really smelly ones was to soak them in petrol as once it's evaporated the smell completely dissappears, so leave the doors open & you might be lucky.
