Archerfield Kart Hire have just had a number of karts stolen. On Sunday night, thieves broke in to a storage container and made off with 2 SQ hire karts with 4 stroke engines.
Last night the theives struck again, this time the tore a door off a container and stole 3 SQ hire karts and one KnK hire kart.
Add these latest thefts to the 2 karts that were stolen in a similar manner a month ago and this totals 8 KARTS STOLEN !!
The 6 SQ karts are red chassis (a few were SQ race chassis converted to hirekart spec) with 4 stroke engines, Red hire kart plastics.
The KnK Kart is a Red chassis, hire kart chassis, Black hire kart plastics.
I will post a list of chassis numbers as soon as possible.
Please keep a lookout guys, this is a devastating loss for this small business which has only recently begun operating.
THESE THEFTS HAVE KNOCKED OUT OVER 30% OF THE TOTAL HIRE KART FLEET!!!
STOLEN KARTS TOTAL WELL OVER $20,000, IN ADDITION TO PROPERTY DAMAGE SUSTAINED IN THE THEFTS.
In addition, during the thefts, the perpetrators have damaged the owners Brand new Torismo 125 T.A.G kart (although curiously, it was not stolen even though it was the easiest to steal due to it's location in the storage container. So they are vandals as well as thieving scum.
