thomo Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 as far as i know only the engine block can be prooven to be stolen because its the only part with a number on it, if you were keen and realy wanted that engine, remove the head, crank, rods,and bearing caps, hand in the block to the cops, then buy it back at the stolen/recovered auction its not nice to the guy who lost his car in the first place but what the hells he going to do with a motor anyway, its legal (better check on that) and you end up with a fresh motor and no, I'm not into anything illegal, just did a lot of work for the police stolen property depot in canberra disposing of wrecks and things people died in (the families never want those cars back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLOTH Snr Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I'm guessing the car had not been registered with the 3T before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozman Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 hey, just thought i'd give you an update, i spoke to the police a few days ago and again today, turns out that they take over two months to even think about helping me :P , they can't get on to the person who owned it (alot can happen over 11 years). so they sound like there just going to clear the engine to me, fingers crossed. :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Sounds like a good situation... still utilizing Melbournes public transport, or you got wheels now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) i spoke to the police a few days ago and again today, turns out that they take over two months to even think about helping me :P , they can't get on to the person who owned it (alot can happen over 11 years). so they sound like there just going to clear the engine to me, fingers crossed. :| Not a surprise, the Police are slack. Up here in Queensland, three weekends ago, my parents car was smashed into and ransacked. They wouldn't come out to the house so they could make a report, so I had to drive them to the police station. They told them they'd send someone later that day to finger print the car. We then recieved a call telling us that they couldn't make it, saying my parents then would have to drive their car to the cop shop, destroying any evidence in the progress. In the end they found no prints cause they couldn't print the door, the steering wheel, the g/box. Edited March 27, 2006 by JiP_01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irokin Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 as far as i know only the engine block can be prooven to be stolen because its the only part with a number on it, if you were keen and realy wanted that engine, remove the head, crank, rods,and bearing caps, hand in the block to the cops, then buy it back at the stolen/recovered auction And then be charged with fraud like the guy who stripped his car before the cops came to confiscate it for "hooning". As the police officer said "I'm pretty sure it had an engine when I pulled it over" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
