A Penrith tow truck driver who knew the car and had seen the Ausrotary thread, recognised the car. (He had towed it before.....it had flooded, I guess!!)

He saw it on the side of the road this morning, and called the cops.

Undamaged....a happy ending!!

Agreed.

Thats one VERY lucky owner - the car was left in the same condition without any visible damage or stripping.

yup, that ending just made my day better. The fact that some people atleast cared for the 8 and didnt damage it is pretty cool. Not cool stealing it, but cool respecting the 8.

This theft should serve as a lesson to all of us. Keep our keys secure at all times. I have a habit of tossing them on the kitchen benchtop.....no more.

heh. so i'm not the only one that sleeps with his keys under his pillow eh?

lucky for me, my sister is in the police, and my brother can't drive!

I've gotten into the habit of NEVER leaving things visible around the house or in the car, or in any obvious places. Guess it's my sneeky nature!
