    Daring raid by interstate marauders

    In the early hours of this morning a highly organised gang of 5 executed a daring raid over the border, endangering interstate trade harmony and making off with irreplaceable treasures.
    The gang consisted of two pensioners, obviously recruited as a diversionary tactic to lull the victims into a false sense of security, the gang's leader and her spouse who managed to load a valuable S3 short based Land Rover onto the trailer that they had innocently brought along, and a fireman who was included for his uncanny knack of "smelling military vehicles from 5 kilometers range" as well as in case aa fire broke out.
    The planning had been going on for a while, inside informers told authorities, as the gang were equipped with two trailers to carry the booty home in.
    They were last seen heading in a northerly direction towards Buccan travelling in a blue D2 and a red 130 defender.
    Witnesses to the foray were unable to give an accurate description of the gang members, but described one member as 'a female person with a grin from ear to ear' and this person was overheard to have been mumbling things like "its only got 58000k's on the clock", Its been in a garage all of its life" and "I am only the third owner".
    It is believed that the owners handbook and other paperwork disappeared with the vehicle.
    The previous owners refused to comment and were noted to be shaking their heads as they headed off to the bank this morning.
    Authorities have released the following 'identikit' likenesses of the aftermath of the scene and of some of the items that were taken.





    Regards

    Seems to be in sahara desert camouflage colour. But I would think the odometer on that would be 58K Klms rather than miles.

    Still it's no gun buggy!

    If I see any thieves fitting the description I'll let border control know.

    P.S. What a shame I just received a ute cab from Coffs Harbour that would match that 88" quite well.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
