Last Saturday nite me,Walky 484 and ITS5.7 took our Walkys for a quick run down the Gold Coast to clean the cobwebs off(in my case charge the battery,but thats another story lol)and a young guy came up to me and said he used to own a Walky-build number 440.It was stolen from a tyre shop after it was locked up overnite.He's currently waiting on an insurance payout from the shop and would like it replaced as it only had 80000kms and he spent a bit of time&money on it.Wouldn't it make you cry if it happened to you?i know i would.

I would never leave the car at a workshop overnight, or anywhere in fact without good references from people who I know and trust.

You know one thing I could never do is manage to hold a straight face to a client whilst trying to explain as to how their car was stolen (with my knowledge) from my workshop. Unfortunately there are plenty of ar7eholes out there!
