Stolen RX8 on Goldcoast .
Todays Goldcoast Bulletin .20-1-2005
Brazen thieves with an eye for sporty wheels made off with more than $160,000 worth of used sport cars from a Southport dealer.
The crooks gained access to the James Frizelle Automotives office on Nind Street, between 10pm on Tuesday and 1:30am yesterday.
They took two Subaru WRX Impreza sport cars, a Mazda RX8 coupe and a Holden Commodore Ute.
The offenders used the black Mazda RX8 as a battering ram to get through the gates.
Either an insurance job
or a well organized gang of thieves local or from interstate, they picked the busy Tourist season to strike .
I am going to be more wary of people checking out my ride .
cheers

Having lived in Chile (South America )as a child you quickly learn to be vigilant.

There was no mention of its state - but I can't see someone dumping a stripped RX-8 on busy Racecourse Rd when there are plenty of industrial areas nearby that wouldn't see any traffic.
