Default Stolen XR8 BA Perth

Hey guys i didnt know where else to post this, but my Ba XR8 was stolen thursday morning from the front of my house, the n pricks broke into my house while i was asleep and took the keys and other things. The XR8 is Blood orange with the metallic silver stripes down the bonnet its got BPT stickers on the rear 1/4 glass of the rear doors both sides plus an aftermarket twin 2 1/2 black tipped exhaust if anyone see's it or finds it please contact the police/ crimestoppers or message me on here. The license plate number (which theyve probably changed is 1CKI763.

Id also like to thanks BPT who have been looking out and helping me anyway they can in tracking it down and as well offered a monetary amount to replace a christmas gift for my daughter which was in the boot of the car. That was greatly appreciated and above and beyond what i expected Thanks again Barry and Terry.

heartless sons of bitches!
I couldn't think of anything worse than someone being in my house un invited, then taking my keys and getting away in my car, words could not describe the sick feeling you would have right now. What a fantastic way to spend Christmas.
Is it insured, and how would you go about making a claim, i thought they have to recover the car before a claim can be lodged?

Usually it's about 2 weeks they wait to see if they can find it. If not recovered by then they pay out.

Sorry about your loss. Lots of morons in this world unfortunately :

Not insured....... just the way it seems to go eh? No insurance in when you will crash or get ripped off.

Best of luck bud, hope it turns up in one piece.

Something that never ceases to amaze me. Why would you take the risk?
Third party fire & theft is around $300, and you can pay monthly.
Even my old Econovan (91) is insured!.
