A work mates car got broken into last night, he got a not so pleasant surprise this morning when he went to the car to go to work... His little sierra (old skool hardtop type) had the entire front drivers door missing. The pricks had undone the bolts for the hinges from the outside and pulled the door right off and thrown it into neighbouring bushland near a construction site...

The rear cargo door they did the same thing to, except it didn't come off so easily, so they folded the door back on the hinge and itself, it screwed the car up big time.

I can imagine it was not a nice sight to see your pride and joy sitting out front of ya place with a door missing, and the rear door dangling free in the wind.. And a big empty space where all the audio gear used to be. I saw the car at lunch time to give him a hand to tidy things up after the cops did their thing, and it had an eery feel about it.

The target of the theft was the stereo, a custom box with 2 x 12" Rockford punch's, a rockford amp, and pioneer head unit. They left the cd's inthe car, only wanted the stereo. They left the sub level control knob though.

It's one thing being ripped off, but when they leave the car trashed like this it's just mad.

The cops have got no leads so far. No one heard or knows anything about it. Townsville is a reasonably small place in some ways, so we'll see what happens.
