Stolen 1980 Brock Commodore

Last night in Morrinsville xxxxx's pride and joy was stolen. It is a 1980 HDT Brock Commodore - in original perfect condition. Number plate '05'. It is white, with a bright red interior. There are only around 5 of these in the country - it is labelled number 323 (of 500 every built). It has Brockie's signature on the back. Once modified (painted etc) it will be worthless (or worth as little as a 1980 V8 Commodore is). It is unsellable as it is, as it is too recognisable. REWARD OFFERED for return - or any information leading to recovery. I would appreciate it if you could send this around to all your contacts, as we believe we only have a limited amount of time to recover Brockie before she is toasted. A RX7 was also stolen from the same workshop, both cars were put on a trailer(s) in the middle of the night from an alarmed workshop - right on the main road of Morrinsville.

Further update

Thief's appear to be professionals. 3 other break ins in Morrinsville were believed to be distractions around 2am Wednesday night. The alarm was ripped from the wall, wires cut, and the battery ripped out as well. We believe the RX7 was used to tow Brockie around to a builders yard about 3 blocks away. The padlock was cut to open the gate. The RX7 was left at the builders yard, and a normal builders trailer is missing. Therefore we are now looking for Brockie being towed away on a normal open trailer around 3am. They were very determined, as Brockie needed to be jacked up to get out of the workshop, and is a heavy car which would have needed significant strength to get it on a normal trailer.

CONTACT MORRINSVILLE POLICE ASAP

If anyone saw anything related to this, get in touch with the Morrinsville Police.

Cheers.
