Do you perhaps have an address? Lats & longs? Will you be willing to make a sworn statement?

I'm sure with a bit of arm-twisting we can have the Company helicopter there in no time..

I dont hav the adress,but i cood def take you there,and if the helicopter is an option,i want in ....but if it turns out to be nothin,then you got the lead from sum1 else but seriously,how many black beetles hav red rims,iv only seen 2,or it was the same 1 twice

Please PM your contact details with me, I'll put you in contact with our Operational Manager

This should be interesting. Lets hope it's Vuyo's and you catch the bastards!

Well I work for a vehicle tracking and recovery company (I'm not the guy with the Raybans in the helicopter, though).

Netstar has subcontracted a company called Stars for the physical recovery of vehicles. They operate from our premises in Midrand, with the air wing stationed at Grand Central, just across the road.

I am not sure what the policy is with the attempted recovery of non-client vehicles, but often happens that syndicates get busted for other stolen cars as well, when they actually go to recover only one (Netstar-fitted) vehicle. SA's most wanted criminal, Annanias Mathe, the only person ever who managed escape from C-Max prison, was arrested 'by accident' in 2006 by Stars' personnel when they recovered a vehicle he stole. (He is even featured in Wikipedia! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annanias_Mathe ) Those recovery guys are very much 'street-wise', and it is indeed possible that they already have surveillance on the mentioned location, or know about it.

You must understand that a commercial helicopter like a Jet Ranger flies at several thousands of Rands per hour, so I cannot guarantee that they will indeed go and look for an alleged stolen Beetle, but hell - its worth a try!

pine u work for stars? My wife worked for netstar head office in midrand.

No I work for ANFMS - The Fleet Management Division of Altech Netstar

Samba is that bug at flats in witbank?

No Vuyo,Alexandra town ship,near sandton,....I will try to travel that road again 2 see if its still there,it probably will be,if i remember correctly,it had flat tyres,..if i cant travel that road soon,i will try remember the road and look 4 its name in the map book,will keep you posted.I hope we find the beetle,and the F@CKERS that stole it,then the only problem we will hav is working out who climbs in2 them 1st
