Aircooled VW South Africa

Guys,be on the look out for Vuyo's black Beetle.It was stolen about an hour ago in Rosettenville in front of Gerard's house.

MYC 951 GP

What the F*ck is going on?

Time to step up and out the scumbags...

What is strange to me,is that it's more and more forum members' cars being stolen!

What's worse is that whoever stole it,had to push it away,because it wasn't running!!

I thought it looked a bit bare in the photo? Big cajones on the thieves...

I hope your car gets found soon, Vuyo.

Hi Vuyo, I'm sorry about this. It is terrible, terrible news.

Guys, I am sure there is more to this than we think..

It has to be someone who knows these cars and where they come from. A panel shop or mechanical repair shop perhaps?

And where are these cars going?

What worries me is that there hasn't been a trace of any of the Beetles stolen recently. How is this possible?
Some people have said there are more Beetles coming to them these days which are for sale as a whole or in parts. Maybe this is because people need money and are selling their cars - or are people trying to sell parts off stolen vehicles?
There must be something that can be done.
Is there any pattern to these crimes?

I think that these cars aren't being stripped for spares.All the cars taken are in good condition with lots of extras on them.

They target cars that are well kept.If they wanted spares they would have taken beat up cars as well,but as far as I can see they are all good cars.So there seems to be more sinister reasons behind this.

Rosettenville isn't a very nice area. Same suburb where Lucky Dube was shot when they tried to hijack his Chrysler 300C

I does seem like its good cars they're after -
no rat-look bugs seem to have been taken.....?

Sorry to hear about your Bug Dude,, you aree so proud of your cars .............BAB

Sorry to hear about it Vuyo. This really sucks!

I'm still wondering if it isn't someone that we pissed off on the site.
If you listen to all the people that have been cheated out of their cars or money by "restorers", I wouldn't put it above some of these "restorers" to resort to stealing nice cars and using the good body parts or mechanical spares to "restore" someones vehicle. As red-m said, there's no trace of the stolen cars.

But maybe I need to relax more and not be so paranoid.

aI Vuyo, sorry to hear i know the words dont replace the car. hope you find it soon man, you did so much work on it and effort.

i lost 2 cars in a period of 3 years and it maid me think that i must stop drivingg nice cars

Sorry Vuyo - tough luck. Maybe there is a big ACVW fan in Maputo who just keeps adding to his collection. My daughters stolen Karmann Ghia is there - its been seen! .
