Thread: Anti theft Mod

Allianz Insurance confirmed their settlement proposal today that I will fight.


Under their logic all the accessories that I added on (paid for out of my pocket) become part of the PAV (Pre Accident Value) and because the finance company settlement $ is greater than the PAV - The full payout $$ goes go to the finance company. So i have no vehicle, $ 0.00 payout and end up about $15k out of pocket.


I have no choice but to hope the police recover the vehicle in a repairable condition.


Over the last month the bastards have run up 6 fines all on Gympie Rd between Norman Rd, Lutchwe and Beams Rd, Carseldine - a 10km stretch of road.


What kills me is that the cops can photograph him 6 times to raise revenue but not once to catch him😡. Silly me thought they would look for the vehicle!

They will only respond if the idiot drives near one of their cars with number plate recognition..


Can I PLEASE ask members that use Gympie Rd to keep an eye out for this vehicle (Rego 659VNW)- easy way to remember it is White D4 with Rego ending in VNW (Very Nice Wagon) - if you see it call 000.

6 times in a month? For 15 grand I'll sit on the side of the road for a week.

I am planning to be up & down that road the whole weekend and every day thereafter until I find him - if the cops can’t do it then I will!

That's awful but not unexpected.. cops here openly don't pursue stolen cars esp ones that are insured.

Hundreds of Patrols have been stolen in Tas and only after public/media embarrassment and vigilante action did they form a task force to catch them.. which they did.. then disbanded the force and stealing has resumed...

I hope you can get them.

If you've been paid out by insurance, then the vehicle is recovered after the payout then chances are you wont see the car again. Fairly sure you wouldn't get the car back after its been paid out.

Who claimed Ned Kelly was dead? That is a really **** result Harry & I hope you & a Pick Handle get to them before the cops do.

I would rather withdraw my insurance claim (for the moment) and see what the cops or I find in the next few weeks. I can not accept a $0.00 payout so I have nothing to loose - if it’s burned out then I am where I am now. If it’s just unrepairable / trashed then I will take whatever of my accessories are still on it and then accept the $0.00 pay out..
