Hi there,

The BF of a good friend had his WRX stolen at 3am this morning from his unit in Joondanna (he usually garages it, so don't know how it happened exactly). It's silver and the rego is 1BKO 649.

If you see it, please call me on 0407 756 500.

Thanks,

Simon....

Got a pic?

No, I don't. Unfortunately, 1 WRX looks just the same as another to me. I'll see what I can do.

Simon...

I take it it's the current model with that plate? Or is it a 99/01/03/05 etc?

Have just SMS'd the owner for model/year details. Will post when I get response. Thanks XXXR6T.

Okay, I've been told:

"Silver bug eye, 2000, grey leather". They broke in and stole the keys while the owner and his 10yo were asleep. The guy reckons it took him 10 seconds to get in, get the keys and then the car.

Sheez, what chance do you have?

just wondering how they stole the key?...haha...I mean where the owner put their key?...in living room?

I always put it in my bedroom. so no one can touch it (hopefully).

years ago, my fren car got stolen. he put his key in the living room. the thief just break the glass door, and the car gone.

Sounds shifty..key or not, I was under the impression that the things couldn't be started without supplying the PIN to the alarm pad gizmo or is this only on the STI models?

Sorry to hear it.

Bug eye is either 2001 or 2002.

2000 model is old shape.

Yeah, don't know where the key was, but I suspect it was on the counter in the kitchen/dining room downstairs.

Also, bcl, don't know about the year vs bug eye, only know what he told me. It's definately got a bug eyed look, so maybe it's 2001.

Anyway, I suspect it's long gone. I thought they all had PIN code thingo's too, 'cos they were so prone to being nicked. Will find out more later in week.
