Hey guys, my car was stolen last night/early morning 1st/2nd of May.

Its a blue Mazda Mx5, stolen in Auckland, Hillsborough area.

Distinctive parts include a black hard top, wheels (Work Equip copies), wooden nardi, blue Bride Zeta III, and is lowered.

Number plate : ZM8185

Would you guys be kind enough to keep an eye out and report any sightings of this vehicle.

Much appreciated for any help

sad update

Hey guys, well I would just like to thank everyone that has help or even just spread the word or any sort of help they did.

The vehicle was found today in Avondale area. Can’t say the exact location as it was in someone’s backyard but they claim to not know anything about it… bs much… anyway, its rather close to the famous Terry street. I’ll disclose street address when I get the go ahead from the Police.

Anyways here are some pictures of what my awesome little jellybean has become.



They didn’t just strip all my parts, they had to flip it upside down and went crazy with an angle grinder on the front end….. sigh

Does anyone recognize that tag mark on the door?


They stripped everything leaving only the dash and rear diff  they even took my cert plate.

I guess our own worst enemy is really humans. Greed. Rather than earn something, they are willing to bring themselves happiness at the expense of other people’s hard work.

Thanks once again for anyone that has helped me out, whether it was building or searching or spreading the word.

If you guy’s wouldn’t mind.

Please do keep an eye out for parts from my vehicle, I would think they are rather unique so it shouldn’t be too hard to identify.

BC Racing coilovers for NA6/8 (not that many MX5’s using these I guess in NZ)

Bride Zeta III seat (Blue)
15x8 (Work equip 01 copies) +10 offset, tires are two new Falken ZE912 195/45/15 and two Advan 195/50/15

Nardi Classic steering wheel (wood grain with polished spokes) 360mm

B6 engine with gearbox (This will be hard to identify)

Well these are the major parts that are missing.

I have however recovered my hardtop.. Strangely enough, it was still at backyard of that property… nothing to do with them… I think not… they have the rear chrome clips missing, anyone know where to get replacements?

Rebuild of this chassis is not possible. I would think my car is RIP’d too many things damaged and missing. Sigh..

I will try my best to build another one, hopefully 

They actually try and claim they know nothing about a car that is flipped upside down and stripped in their back yard? 

 

Fucking scum

^lol. shit heads. I work around terry st etc like everyday. its not even that dodgy an area(its kinda flash/expensive now. it was hori like 20 years ago). Wouldn't expect to see that kinda thing going on

That makes me feel sick.

The wife doesn't understand as it's just a car- it's not! It's a lot of time, hard work and probably love- fucked for no good reason. Not just hard work on the car either- hard work at his day job to pay for it.

I'd not feel so uptight if they had treated the car with some respect- pulled the bits and dumped it someplace- but they had to fuck it for the sake of it.

And I doubt anyone will be held properly accountable.

story coming thru was owners away on holiday and daughter was looking after the house, she got a txt to say there was a car out the back or some sheet~

[Hachi-ichi]

this is truly horribe, these shit stains who did this calling themselves "people" will hopefully rot and be dealt to in prison one day by a very large man...

[KKtrips]

That is super shit-house... If this happened to me I would really want to hurt people.. Especially when it was found in a back yard - something must be known and the culprits will hopefully be caught..

 

Let us know if there is a victorious arrest in this Jarred..

[KIRK]

let me know if you need some enquiries made. its kind of my prefecture/I mow lawns for some of the local shady people/gangs. Its quite close to Avondale caravan park and I heard theres a lot of scum in there at the moment due to Auckland rental shortages. Wouldn't be surprised if somebody from there had found an empty house to strip a car at cos you couldn't do it at the trailer park. its withen walking distance so I think it makes them potential suspects. even just take a drive thru and see if you spot any mx5 parts...

 

edit: I will keep an eye out. if its not people at that house it will be somebody very close by. edit: I have access to look around a lot of back yards etc

Hey guys

Well the police called me yesterday and we talked for like 20 minutes. To sum it up, the conclusion of our discussion was:

There isn't enough evidence to keep this investigation open, house owner's daugther claims she knows nothing of this and she was the one that notified the police of the vehicle in her backyard.

He said unless there were wtinesses willingly to front up or someone admitting to the crime, then there really isn't much they can do. He did explain that there weren't enough resources to keep this case open which i can kind of understand. I mean... catching the person responsible really doesn't benefit the Police department, all its going to do is use up their budgets on something of no real monetary gain.

You guys are correct in doing e-detective work, the street is indeed Miranda Street in Avondale, i won't give out the number of the property but I am sure it's easy to work out. But what can we really do with an address, its not like we can force the truth out of them. Because then it'll make us the criminals..

Sigh.. to be honest, I knew there wasn't much the police can do. They can't force out real answers from the property owners, they will just give answers like .. "oh i don't know... it wasn't mine... I have no idea" then pretty much that's that. And i knew next door will say they didn't see anything, whats the benefit of being a witness, more trouble to them in the future, whether its using time to give evidence or dealing with the people involved in the future, its easier for them to just say they don't know.

I do agree that the punishments in NZ Law is fairly light, therefore these kinds of crimes are let off so lightly so there is no fear to anyone thinking of stealing a vehicle because the chances of being caught are so low.

But don't get me wrong, I am not blaming the NZ Police, I can just say that I blame our society, a society that has created parents that doesn't teach their children whats right and whats wrong to do. Teaching them that a better life is earned and not taken from other people.

No doubt the people involved grew up with parents that either didn't give a sh*t about them or does the same thing that they are doing now
