last week I saw a post n oz honda car forums saying that a car had been stolen here is the post -

[STOLEN CAR] Silver Euro Lux vic reg: WDZ062
we just had a silver euro luxury stolen from travis honda in frankston (melbourne). the driver gave us a (most likely fake) NSW licence for a test drive. then as the saleperson was about to get in the car he locked the doors and sped off towards the city

i know silver euros are very common but if anyone sees anything please contact our staff on (03) 9786-1022

A MAN has been arrested after what may be Australia's longest test drive. He was nabbed with the luxury Honda in the Northern Territory, 6200km from a Melbourne car yard.
The 30-yr old was arrested yesterday after taking the $40,000 Honda Accord Euro last Thursday.

The driver was arrested at Tennant Creek after failing to pay for petrol for the car at Wycliffe Well.
He was charged with aggravated unlawful use of a motor vehicle and unlawful possession of property.
He was remanded to appear in the Tennant Creek Magistrates' Court.
