    I know the horse is already out of the barn but you can buy GPS tracking units to conceal in any vehicle and track online whenever you want. They're small as a deck of cards.

    Good luck on recovery

    well think about this

    who can know that you have everything new

    i did not know that there is those things in AU

    i mean relatively small population....and no close neighbours

    here they are immediately exported to other countries

    I was thinking that myself - who can know that you have everything new

    the theif avoided all monitoring cameras and toll points so they had some smarts about them. really dont think ill be getting her back. so i have excepted that and im looking at a freightliner argosy with a series 60 and 18 speed rated to gross 198,000lbs so i can do roadtrain work as well as my normal work

    interesting i thought that there is no stealing down there

    here there is almost no truck stealing especially in last 2years maybe 2-3 trucks per year

    here only politicians steal


    buy iveco this is so big crap that no one will steal


    I thought that most of AU trucks are rated for 90t serial?

    That really sucks.

    I have had one truck hi jacked but they brought it back because they were after the load of whiskey that turned out to be paper.
    Also had one stolen , actually they stole tires off 6 trucks and used the straight truck to load the tires.
    Got all 24 tires and truck back with in 48h at 4 different locations in 4 different towns.
    Just blessed I suspect.
