When was the last time you bought a car and inspected every panel to id the data dots? Most people would be flat out checking the VIN!

What a Goldmine!
Someone with some knowledge and a BA/BF (or any other falc if they were keen) could have the Engine, ZF 6 speed and ECU set up of a F6 Typhoon in their car if they bought the red one! Very sad to see them damaged like that though... |

They are the ones stolen from FPV.
They were up for auction a few months ago, but were pulled from bidding the day before. Just looks like they are back up again. Still alot of the cars left from memory, as long as the stuff wasn't fire damaged. |

Data Dots are only good if the authorities and spare parts places look for them. My car has Data Dots and a PIN code immobilizer and it can just as easily be taken away on the back of a truck. What these punks do is strip the parts, then try and buy the shell back at auction, refit the parts and voila you have a cheap car. |

One of the conditions for a stat right off is x% of the car being stripped, as in the red ones case. It is Vic Roads way to fight your scenario happening. Even if the thief bought the shell back, it could never be registered. |

Funny they didnt take the engines. The panels are just normal falcon anyway its the engines/drivetrain that are special, although they did take the turbos and manifold etc.

If you are going to rebirth a car you're not going to give a crap about it being registered. |

One thing I have heard of theives doing is going to gyms etc, watching who pulls up in a nice car and following them in, then swiping the persons keys in the change room etc.
Another thing is breaking into a persons house and stealing their keys, loading up their own car with stuff from the house and just driving away. Hell easy to nick a car when you have the keys in your hand... |
