STOLEN: 1985 Nissan Skyline GT

[nizm0zed]

My skyline was stolen with a pair of scissors.

They used them to get past the door lock and the ignition barrel.

 

Fortunately for me it was just some kids wanting to joyride and my skyline was in pretty poor condition so it didn't go too far.

On this forum, you are announcing it to the world... to trace anyone on the net, if they post pics of areas they are in, you could easily get a location then use Google earth to start a search. If someone wants it bad enough, you'd be surprised what lengths they will go to. Everyone has friends who have friends that have friends...you know what I mean.

 

It's actually amazing, I saw a pic on the net of a nice skyline with awesome wheels and in the background I could see a sign for a local shop. I looked up the shop on Google and found the address, then using streetview I could go to the exact location the photo was taken.

 

So you can just imagine what information can be pieced together if someone wanted to find where someone lives (or at least the area).

R31 skylines in very good condition are becoming harder to find because they are going a similar way as many old Datsuns went, they have been cheap so they were abused and now the numbers are fading fast. The cars which were stolen were all in excellent condition and whoever is stealing them knows their way around an R31 very well as only very specific parts have been stolen, which begs the question as to who/why are taking these cars because as soon as the parts are found on their car/someone else's car it will be pretty obvious who took them.

 

Logic unfortunately still doesn't stop someone from trying to flog something I'm afraid. If you recall not that long ago someone stole parts from a well known member on here (and was later caught) and those were very unique parts which would be easy to trace back. So even if they know their way around R31s and even if it doesn't make sense to steal it, it won't stop fools from doing it.
