Default Stolen Centerline Convo's

Yes, my new wheels are gone, last night someone helped themselfs to my Convo's. 15x10 ford pattern, 3 and 3/8ths back spacing. Mickey Thompson 325/50/15 Drag Radials, new and unused since tubbing my wagon. If anyone here hears of these for sale in Toowoomba or surrounding area's (Brisbane)or a car suddenly has these drag tires on there please phone me on 0746347610 or email me at pro351xywagon@iprimus.com.au I cant afford to replace them so no reward is offered. What is free is knowing that you can help out with any info. These tryes are 29"s tall and 13.5" wide so they wont fit on anything unless its tubbed. On the off chance the mongrel who stole them reads this i suggest you PRAY. I will never rest until i find you. Thanks to anyone reading this and maybe helping. These are $1750 to replace and i cant do it. So i have a Tubbed Xy wagon up for sale, genuine enquires only please.

Don't give up on the car too soon, you might get lucky and get them back and have no car. Still you must pretty grumpy about it.

Before offloading your car, what about lodging an insurance claim, either on your car insurance or on your home and contents. I wouldn't be too quick to write off $1750 straight away, there are options.

Sorry to hear about that though.

No insurance sorry, (make note get insurance) My project has stalled, i've had issues with panel beaters, issues with so called gt workshops and the list goes on. Last straw, car will be up on ebay next week. thanks to everyone for there support. I figure, sell what i have left and buy another wagon, seen some good wagons in the low teens. I just wanna cruise with the family again. My kids are heart broken as well by this theft.

Good point. Were they on the car? If not, then home and contents should cover it.

Most insurers exclude motor vehicle accessories and some limit the cover to much less than they are worth.

Cant hurt to call and ask them though

I know its hard to keep your chin up, but when you are struggling to do your car up and then get this 1750 buck set back its effin hard. I just want to find the mongrel get my wheels and tyres back and move on. I suugest if the thievin c#*t lives in Toowoomba, he better move to another town or city, sooner or later i will find him.

Police up here are thinking cars and parts are stolen to a order list, and end up in Victoria. Guy in the car club up here had a VN group A stolen from his garage, not one single lead, cars from Wintersun as well, all rumored to be in Vic.

The cars stolen from wintersun where reported seen on the highway to Warwick, in convoy. Apparently our police force was busy on other things......you no, booking people for stuff rather than catching (and breaking) a stolen to order criminal syndicate. :
