OMG... people are breaking into houses to steal these? I might have to put mine in the garage from now on.
Sucks to see this, but in Oxley brisbane a Toyota 86 has been stolen after a house was broken into early hours of the morning.
Number plates : SHN 086
Lets hope the scum bags are caught by the owner rather than the police and learn how to drive because they didn't make it far before hitting a power pole and damaging the rear bar.

Good luck stealing it without the keys.
They would have broken into the house anyways, saw the keys which created a new opportunity and took the car.
Dont worry tho, due to the Australian legal system the offenders will get off with a minor bail amount and a suspended sentence, so they can re offend ASAP.
I am the owner of this car.
On Tuesday morning i was laying in bed awake waiting for my alarm to go off. I heard some noises in the kitchen, which I thought was my parents making their breakfast/coffee as they are normally awake a bit earlier than I am. It wasn't until I heard my car start that something was not right. I ran to out the front door to see my car sideswipe the green electrical box (car was parked about a metres further to the right from where the photo was taken and is a pain to see out of, especially with condensation all over the car). The theif has then noticed me running towards the car and reversed straight back at full throttle into the light post and stalled the car. I got to within about 3 metres of the car before the theif managed to get the car started and take off never to be seen again.
Upon returning to the house I had alerted my parents to what had happened only to discover all of our wallets and phones missing. They thought I was making the noises. What is even more concerning is that the keys to my other car (R34 GTT) were on the same lanyard as the 86 keys.
Car has not been seen since this happened.

Worst feeling ever having someone like that in your house. How did they get in?
Hope at least the cops can try to help. Insured?
When I came back inside I noticed that a glass sliding door leading to the kitchen was open, there was also a big screwdriver left at the back door with visible marks on the door. We actually think one of them crawled through the doggy door and let the others in.
Cops arrived a couple of hours later and did their thing. They also pointed out an mx5 that was stolen and abandoned about 200m down the street. That car was also fingerprinted and towed away.
The neighbours across the street had a motion sensor camera catch vision of a black and a silver car slowly drive through and do a u-turn in the couldesac and most likely park down the street. Unfortunately it didn't catch any vision of my car leave as it didnt get close enough to their property.
This all happened at around 615am
Car is fully insured, I have a relative at a Toyota dealership looking into what 86's that are available. But I cant do anything until my claim is processed (2-3weeks).
that is fucked up
fucking ####s, honestly...why are we still soft on car thieves and house invaders.............?
its a fucking joke
- also should of told the cops the guy was drifting in your street, would of been there in 2 mins

Between 5 - 6 in the morning seams to be the new preferred hour for thieves... Had my garage broken into a few months back around that time.
Let us know if the car is found / recovered.

Sad day.
Thieves were drifting. Instant jail time
Just another Muppet
My 86 got broken into at 4:45. I was awake and heard them cause I get up at 5 for work. Thought it was just joggers walking past.
I ever saw anyone touching my stuff without permission let alone break into my house I would beat the shit out of them, and the good old law would punish me and let them off.
