The vehicle has been reported stolen from one of the Adelaide Metro FPV dealerships. I ask that you all be aware of the circumstances surrounding this particular GT, and if for any reason that you come across it, or hear of any parts being offered for sale, to please contact the police.
Lightning Strike with orange Stripes, cloth interior. |

I am interested in the WHOLE car. If you are the thief, PM me your price !  : Has to be an inside job... Otherwise, its just odd. Unless it went 'missing' on a test drive..

HAHAHA... FAR from it mate...
I have a friend that worked at an 'unnamed' car dealership in vic, he has left, but still has all access codes, keys to the yards etc etc etc... would be easy i guess if you were in a position like that. |

It is not that difficult to work out, but it is really really simple to steal a car off the lot. I dont mean whilst on a test drive.

Look on the bright side ... the poor bugger may turn disadvantage into advantage and change his order upwards to an F6. |

Seriously now, that sucks to have a car stolen from a dealership. Seems that someone may have known where the keys are kept, wouldn't really be that hard to find out.

The dealer doesnt actually pay Ford for the car until its sold, so they wont be out of pocket. |

I'll probably be in shit for saying this (wouldn't be the first time i've been in trouble with work for something i've said on a forum)
The car was parked out the front, the sales staff were moving the display around, the keys were in a majority of the cars, the keys were noticed missing and pressumed that another sales member had taken them. The car was parked around the back with a club lock just in case. Come Saturday morning two sets of gates were cut open and the car was gone. Having quite a few mates in the industry i know of heaps of cars being stolen (even a pair of cop cars from a certain holden dealership  _ )not sure about the insurance issue as the keys were left in the vehicle by a staff member |
