Stolen GPZ7000 31/8/2016

[SteelPat]

Just posting a copy of a report on another page:

I've just been advised, that a Minelab GPZ 7000 has been stolen from EE Day & Son, Ballarat, this morning.

The lowlife, took off with it, running out of the store and in the process, broke the lower shaft of the detector, and leaving behind the coil and also the WM12 wireless module.

So if anyone sees or hears about a shady character asking for the lower shaft, coil and module on Face Book or prospecting forum sites, please contact Mark Day immediately.

wtf is wrong with lowlife scums these days .....

It'll pay some more mind bending substance-pricks.

and to break it on the way out, not only is the owner out of pocket for it, if they get it back it will need costly repairs now also, i really hate the scum that do this stuff

the rat is a small place

CCTV footage would be a bonus, if there is (depending on legalities) hopefully it could be posted on PA.

Many eyes make light work for the coppers, hopefully.

Prob was more to the story... maybe a disgruntled gpz owner

Can you get a hold of the serial number and post it up here so we can keep a look out. He might try to flog it off on Ebay or even here.

Edit: Or is that a bad idea ?

Yep his image can be posted here until he is arrested then probably needs to be taken down. Good idea i think

Wow how desperate people are getting. This was stolen from a shop in Ballarat EE Day & Son

STOLEN GPZ7000" You know things are getting "BAD" when people steal right in front of your face. Today we had two low life guys steal a GPZ7000! We chased them, wrestled with them ! Only to give up when life's were endangered. The getaway car reversed across the double lanes of Howitt St, only to speed off with the goods. If anybody knows anything ? Please contact crime stoppers on 1800 333 000

? Sorry don't get your drift. If it was a disgruntled owner they'd be identifiable by reason of original purchase I'd be thinking. That said it wouldn't make it to PA as a stolen GPZ if that was the case.

I don't like Thieves and Liars, I don't care how broke people are there is just no excuse for it,

It's a shame the thief did not trip over the machine and land on his Azz, then he would of been caught well and truly,

John.

 

[RM Outback]

I don't own a GPZ yet, for those that do are you able to engrave the shafts with your machines serial number and maintain warranty. Might be worth checking with ML if it's allowable could be worth considering. Someone (Scumbag) is desperate for one

 

[Solid Luck]

Wow!!
If they are willing to do that in a store then I'm sure they would try it if they found a lone prospector out bush.
Take care out there everyone.

A good swing in the kneecaps with the Pick will help convince them to have a change of heart and that my need is greater than theirs,

How safe are we in the bush,by ourselves,with a expensive "DETECTOR"????????
