For the first time ever I parked my car on Memorial Ave near Christchurch Airport. I got back at 0100 to find it had been stolen. What I have just discovered is that there are crims stealing 4WDs from that location on a very regular basis and then "re birthing" them. Be warned. Anyone buying a 1994 blue manual 3.0l Hilux Surf, it could be mine.

Its an epidemic, a mate had his blue manual 3.0 surf stolen a few weeks back not far from there - police seem to be powerless, nobody knows where they end up - big ring by the sounds, good luck finding it though.

Are "bait cars" illegal in NZ? Would be a good spot for one.

You wouldn't leave any of those vehicles anywhere in Chch without taking appropriate precautions, 90's Jap 4x4's have been targeted Canterbury wide for a long time now and its pretty common knowledge, its also common knowledge that at least some of them are being exported. I'd hate to be trying to legitimately sell one, some sellers get interrogated thoroughly about the vehicles origins its that bad.

I see a disproportionate number of "my car has been stolen" to "GPS recovered my car" posts. Sad fact is people generally don't prepare themselves for the worst, myself included.

Personally I'd rather not have a stolen car back - that's what insurance is for
