Stolen bus

Post by Skexis »

Re the news story about the business in Pt Adelaide that has had a Mercedes 42 seater coach stolen. How is it possible this has not yet been found? It's not like it can go into a backstreet garage for a quick rebirth plus it cannot have been moved out of Adelaide as it's a heavy vehicle and the Safe-T Cam's would have picked it up. Rego SB 42 HW in case anyone happens to see it around. Big white thing with a yellow stripe down the sides.

There would be plenty of industrial units around that could comfortably hide a bus that size.

I gather it has been returned. Can anyone share the content of the firewalled Adelaide now story?

It's not that often the police are interested in stolen vehicles here in Sa, it's gone up by 24% in the last year.
