Administrators gav240z Posted October 10, 2008 Administrators Posted October 10, 2008 Hi Everyone, I was contact today by a fellow Zcar owner. He's understandably shattered that his baby was stolen. If anyone spots a car with the description please contact me or the owner. As sent by the owner: Stolen! Please Help Between 12 am & 6 am on Friday 10th September my red and white Datsun 260Z Race Car red tandem trailer and Burgundy 1995 Toyota surf was stolen from Riviera Street Mentone. I have built this car with little money and my own hands to enjoy a little car club motor sport. We loaded it on the trailer last night for its first outing at an open track day this Friday at Winton in preparation for Sandown�s event later in September. To say the least I am shattered and willing to give a reward for any information that assists in the recovery of my pride and joy. Sincerely Richard Park *(mobile number withheld for privacy reasons). Quote
Hunter Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 It would probably help with pictures and rego numbers? Quote

S30Mike Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Come on Vic boys grab your torch and pitch forks! Find the Z! Quote
XRQTR Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I'd be keeping an eye out for a burnt out or dumped Surf first, this will/should give some clue to the Z's whereabouts, the Z by now will likely be stripped down unless they respray it and remove the numbers using it for the same purpose (racing).

Moderators Zedman240® Posted October 10, 2008 Moderators Posted October 10, 2008 Are there any identifiable parts on it that only the owner knows about? In case someone tries to sell them off... Quote
chris240 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 where is Mentone ? is it in NSW, rural Victoria ?? Quote
zr240 Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Mentone is S/E melbourne suburb I will definatly keep my eye out for a fellow zed racer. I would be shattered if this happened to my racecar! Ash Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted October 11, 2008 Author Administrators Posted October 11, 2008 Sorry guys, I only know as much as you do. He just contacted me yesterday. Haven't heard back from him yet. I'd say a 2+2 race car is quite rare, compared with the 2 seaters anyway. Quote
Brabham Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Thief to be terminated with extreme prejudice Quote
nizm0zed Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 the worst bit about this, is it sounds like whoever targeted it, knew what they were doing, and knows about zeds and what they are worth. i would wager that at some time (and possibly still) they have been on this site, or similar ones. Or are generally involved in the general zed scene. Quote
MB260Z Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Good news on the stolen zed, it was recovered in nearby street. unfortunately minus the 4wd and trailer. There was an article in my local paper (mordi leader), with a picture of the car and the relieved owner. Cheers Michael Quote
chris240 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 forget the 4wd & trailer, they can be replaced ,is the zed in ok nik ? Quote
MB260Z Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 The article said there was minor damage to the zed, in the photo however i couldn't see any damage. In fact it looks great. Michael Quote
sco_aus Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Good to hear, though being a 4wd enthusiast aswell, a little crap about the Surf aswell. Quote
Mr Camouflage Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Ah. So they were after the 4WD and trailer. Probably a good thing, as the owner would probably have insurance for them, but maybe not on the race car, being a purpose built track car. Quote
C.A.R. Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Now that the Zed has been recovered, perhaps he should remove the ad from My105: http://www.my105.com.au/classified.asp?id=10525 Quote
