[WA] Stolen Red NA8

Postby Wivvix » Sun Oct 15, 2017 8:39 pm

Hi all

My 1995 NA8 was stolen from outside my residence in the Western suburbs of Perth overnight.
It's red, has a red hard top and distinctive Enkei RPF1 15" wheels with Advan AD08 tires. The other distinctive features are a chrome style bar and clear side indicators.

I have reported it to the police, but would appreciate if those in our community could keep an eye out for it. A lot of blood, sweat and tears has gone into this NA :cry:
The registration plates on the vehicle end '780' (assuming they are still on it). Please contact the WA police on 131 444 and send me a pm if you see it.

Thanks in advance

Trent

It was spotted last night on Freeway South Success driving fast without the headlights on.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Thanks mate. Can you send me a PM letting me know roughly what time this was? I'd like to pass this information onto the police.

You see this style bar just popped up on Gumtree 6 hours ago in Hamilton Hill?

Update: WA police did a stellar job and found the car. It's currently with the insurer to assess for damage/loss/tampering etc.
