Stolen Volk TE37s 19s & Boost Controller

I know that this is our Supra forum, but please can you keep yours eyes and ears out for these items going cheap in the Gravesend / Kent area? Thank God the Supra is having some work done and so wasn't in the garage next door, otherwise she could have been done too! We now need 2 more secure garages in the Gravesend area, if anyone knows of any let us know please?

Our garage has had the 3 locks broken and some ba***rds have stolen the wheels (bronze) and the Greddy Profec B-Spec II Boost Controller from our Skyline. Christian has just gone to the police station to report it and then back to check if anything else has been stolen / damaged as it was too dark last night when he discovered it.

I can't help but hope that these people rot in hell!

Thanks,

Jen & Christian

Can't touch some parts until police have decided tomorrow if they'll take fingerprints, but:

Scratches to the metal on both doors, 4 on the bonnet & 2 on the roof, 1 about 18 inches across.

Smashed rear quarterlights.

Damaged steering wheel.

Damage underneath due to inapropriate jacking - difficult to tell how much.

Sure there's more but light was failing and had to keep fingerprints in mind all the time.

They tried to get stereo out but gave up for some reason.

I found some bits in the bushes, tyreweld that they've let off all over the car and a bit of the wheel-nut spanner so hope to get the bastards with them!

Here's a pretty good picture of the 'un-kerbed' wheel and the centre caps (which our son brought over from Japan). The centre caps were on the wheels when they were stolen and as far as we know, are pretty rare in this country.

Once again please keep yours eyes open for them:

Sorry to hear that Jen, gutted for you, hope they manage to track the B*****Ds down, but the likely hood of the that is slim. It certainly comes to something when your cars are not even safe in the Garage. :thumbdown sad for you!!! These thieves are now hitting there victims below the belt....

Just a quick note to say thanks to everyone for your sympathetic replies and PMs.

 

After too many sleepless nights and a load of hassle getting the borrowed wheels on, we drove the Skyline to a highly recommended repair centre on Thursday.

 

One thing we will be doing differently in the future is to keep the locking wheel nut tool on the keyring. It'll be a PITA but leaving them in the cars, however well-concealed, can only make it easier for thieves.
