[GigiGalliNo1]

ouch

[SubaruNorway]

If don't get it back he wont be able to do the Swedish Rally

[GigiGalliNo1]

insurance?

[ZequeArgentina]

Come on, A Subaru WRC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where would the thieves sell it?
In pieces? How many customers for an S10 WRC could there be?
It should be easy to locate it!!!

[Gard]

The streetracing community will happily use parts from that car.

[Captain VXR]

**** news, ******* pikey thieves.

[Jaanus]

Very sorry to hear that :(

[Profaster]

**** happens! I hope they will found car in same conditions!

By the way, Sweden is dangerous country for rallydrivers... In Swedish Rally 1999 there (Karlstad) was also some idiots who stole Pykälistö's and Bäcklund's (or was it Walfridsson's) spare parts of Gr. N Mitsubishi.

And we everybody (at least in Finland) knows where this ******* idiots come from...

[FrankenSchwinn]

oh my! in a way it's funny because IT'S A ******* WRC!!!!!!!! i mean, WOW! that's just insane! i mean, come on, that's CRAZY! (is it april fools?) how do you steal a WRC and get away with it?

but it's sad because of the loss. was the car with the trailer at a shop? in the street? in the bad-a$$ ghettos of Goteborg? did the trailer get stolen too? wasnt there a corolla wrc that got stolen in sweden as well a few years back? dont the owners or shop or whoever were in possetion of the car have some kind of security or safety thing for these vehicles? i mean, COME ON, this is muchos dineros for these cucarachas fantasticas!

[Tomi]

good it was only a subaru, would have been worse if they would have stolen a rallycar.

[jonas_mcrae]

WRC dont need a key do they? so stoling one is not that difficult, but ****!! leave a wrc with out anyone watching it or some kind of security is just stupid. Also it should be easy to find just follow the noise and the crowd.

[J4MIE]

Sadly an all too common occurance in rallying.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was all planned and the car has been stripped down into parts already.

Hope he gets it back, I have heard a lot of people in the UK get their car stolen and then it appears some months later on.

[N.O.T]

Not long ago in a local rally here in greece the Mitsubishi evo 9 Grp N prepared by rallyart italy abd run by Vovos was also stolen....plus the ECU of another Evo Grp N....and all that while the cars where in Park ferme.

[CABAIO E'LONA]

Too expensive not to leave it safely ... I think that the Impreza going to appear...

[A.F.F.]

Sorry to give folks here a racist view of meself but I wouldn't be surprised if the car is used at this particular moment somewhere in Russia :rolleyes:

[FrankenSchwinn]

Osu ja uppos, hyvä Jani :up: :p

[Magnus]

I live 40 kms from Gothenburg - I will keep my eyes open ;)

I feel very sorry for Östberg, can´t imagine his frustration.
Who stole it? Don´t have a clue, being in the boating business I know there a a lot of people from the Baltic countries roaming the Swedish coast mainly looking for boats and engines; I think it is much more difficult though to take a fancy WRC carriage across the border.
Then we have the other bunch: able car-people from sweden and norway who know exactly what they are doing, but have their morals left behind...

[padWRC]

S10 S11 S12 are "prodrive" cars with extra keys in the engine and you can t move them!

[Magnus]

From Göteborgsposten:
A rallycar worth several millions was stolen the night between thursday and friday at Gullbergs strandgata in Gothenburg ****Not a very good place to park...!*** The car was on its way to Norway after service in England.

The car stood parked in a covered carriage outside the hotel Ibis. The thieves have diconnected the carriage and connected it to another vehicle.
The car is a blue Subaru, one of ten in the world. On the screens is the number twenty and "Ostberg". On the back of the carriage is a sticker which says "Morgan motorsport", the carriage is of english registration.
- We do not belive that the ones who have stolen the car knows what they have laid their hands on, there is no market for a car like this and it can not be sold. The parts in it are unusual and have unique serialnumbers and can easily be traced, says Mats Östdberg, norwegian rallydriver and owner of the car.
The stolen car and another identical one was on its way to Östbergs workshop in Moss, after the service in England. The cars are put in servicemode and are so advanced that few people even know how to start them.
- It is like starting an airplane, a lot of puttons to press. And even if they would succeed to start it, it is for the moment only possible to drive the car in first gear, says Morten Østberg.
The car was stolen somewhere between 0200 and 0700 on fridaymorning. According to the police it is worth somewhere around 280 000 GBP
If Morten Östberg and his son and colleague mats Östberg doesn´t get the car back the whole 2007-season is put at stake.
- There is no other car like this available on the market, and it would take much time to manufacture a new one. We put our trust in the swedish police, says morten östberg.
The police has declared a so called border alarm and customs and coastalguard is noticed.
If someone sees the car or have any information they can contact the policedepartment in Gothenburg.

[Finni]

I wonder if this event is not connected to illegal swedish road racers...

[Koppomsbo]

isnt the wrc cars in some kind of "saftey mode" when not rallying? so they wont be able to go faster then 20kph or something??

[Simmi]

Yeah read the article above it says they could only possibly drive it in first gear.

[cal]

I think the car is either on the way to Russia or some other Baltic country, or being stripped down and used by street racers.

Either way, I doubt they will get it back. If the thieves really didn't know what they stole, it doesn't mean they will give it back. They will probably hide it for a long time, or strip it down as good as they can (depending on their skills) and burn the rest.

[EuroTroll]

I think the car is either on the way to Russia or some other Baltic country.

Russia is not a Baltic country.

[cal]

Russia is not a Baltic country.

I know. Maybe I expressed myself a bit misleading.

[EuroTroll]

I know. Maybe I expressed myself a bit misleading.

Alrighty then. ;)

[Daniel]

Methinks the first person to get offered parts will probably feed this persons sorry arse to the police. There is absolutely NO market for stolen WRC parts. If it were merely some group N Scooby the parts might be easier to cover up because a lot of people fit Group N parts to roadcars but WRCar parts..... not likely.

[Simmi]

They'd be better off just leaving the whole container somewhere to be found because they've probably bitten off more then they can chew.

[Tomi]

better start look from farms nearby, before they put the skit on the fields

[MikeD]

Sorry to give folks here a racist view of meself but I wouldn't be surprised if the car is used at this particular moment somewhere in Russia :rolleyes:

Can we expect a late entry for the Monte by "Subaru Team Russia"? :D

[Tomi]

Can we expect a late entry for the Monte by "Subaru Team Russia"? :D
Russians would propably have stolen a rallycar instead. :)

And you know that because? Of course there is a market for WRC parts, even for the complete car. A few years ago in my country, someone managed to steal a ferris wheel worth 180k or something. Even for that there is a market. They sold it to a legal irondump for only 3000 euro, the dumpowners immidiately putting it in the shredder. What I am saying is, even if the engine is useless of this car, it's still worth more than what the thieves paid for it.

[ZequeArgentina]

It is clear who the responsible are: FRM!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fischer]

Wouldn't surprise me if the car was in Russia at this moment.

Exactly! I think you may be right. WRC parts can be and are used on street cars, just look at that Escort WRC-gone-street-car in Norway.

And as you say, there is a market for everything.

[WRCfan]

That Escort was a WRCar to start with thought wasnt it!? Therefore of course there are WRC parts on that specific car.
Looking at the engines and drivetrains not much could be bolted off a WRC Impreza and onto some morons 1999 Impreza. Unless you want to bling your ride with some real prodrive seats even then they are on rails and would need to be properly fitted.

[Tom206wrc]

No no no. The Swedish are honest, hardworking and homosexual nation. Nothing to make fun of :D


So you mean Miss Hermansson is homosexual too ?? :( :(

[Magnus]

Thanks Magnus for the translation btw, I have added to your reputation - keep up the good work! ;)

If you want to, of course you can. WRC cars may be advanced, but they're no rocket ships!

[Simmi]

If you want to, of course you can. WRC cars may be advanced, but they're no rocket ships!


You would hope the people that do know how to use the parts would have enough about them to shop in whoever did it.

[Mr Fudd]

I find it strange that such a valuable cargo was not fitted with a GPS tracker.

They are not rocket science , and id say that any insurance company would insist on it. And if its not insured , then all the more reason to have it fitted.

[DonJippo]

if its not insured

How stupid would that be.

[Viktory]

How stupid would that be.

They are norweigan ;)

[J4MIE]

If you believe that wrc parts can be fitted easily to road cars... why do you think they are so expensive? :s

I doubt they are easily fitted.

The car isn't sellable, so unless they are selling it for scrap value (and who would go through with that?) I doubt if they'll be able to get rid of it easily.

[Tomi]

They are norweigan ;)

Maybe he is smart and collect the insurance money and will buy a competitive rallycar instead, but on the otherhand like you said...... :)

[cut the b.s.]

If you believe that wrc parts can be fitted easily to road cars... why do you think they are so expensive? :s

I doubt they are easily fitted.

Jamie, what logic are you following here? WRC part prices and road cars compatability, sorry, cant see the link.......

Hope he gets his car back though the longer its missing the worse it looks for him

[Gard]

They are norweigan ;)

I didn't know you could get them insured. what insurance company would insure a WRC-car?

[Tomi]

I didn't know you could get them insured. what insurance company would insure a WRC-car?

whats the difference to some other goods you transport?

[DonJippo]

I didn't know you could get them insured. what insurance company would insure a WRC-car?

Of course you can get it insured, like anything else and you can get it done pretty much in every insurance company.

[jso1985]

Running it on another country it's impossible, Pro-drive would track you easily.
Now using its parts in your street racing car as the idiot morron you are seems possible

[Wasted Talent]

So you mean Miss Hermansson is homosexual too ?? :( :(







:laugh:

Please God, let there be a video.................

[COD]

It is not the first outdated WRC-car to be stolen. Easier to get insurance money than sell one...

[Viktory]

hmmm, interesting

[SubaruNorway]

It is not the first outdated WRC-car to be stolen. Easier to get insurance money than sell one...


Don't think you can call the S10 outdated as he set a 5 and 8 fastest time on Rally GB. And why would he do that as he has to have one car at home here in Norway and on car to do the 7 WRC events this year so if he wrecks on car in Sweden he won't be able to do Rally Norway

[FrankenSchwinn]

It is not the first outdated WRC-car to be stolen. Easier to get insurance money than sell one...

there is always a market for a wrc, any wrc.

[WRXedUSA]

If this isn't insurance fraud by the Ostbergs, I would think that the would-by thieves would have had better luck stealing a bunch of road car STi's and parting them out.

[Iskald]

Think you are way off the mark here, Daniel. After the Finnskog Rally in februar 2004 Tord Linneruds service vehicle was broken into and Toyota Corolla WRC parts for appr. 100 000 Euros was stolen. Police, insurance companies and lots of rally people in whole Europe was warned and on the look-out for the stolen parts. Even people well known in criminal circles was contacted to get "inside info". But actually nothing has since been recovered or traced. Not a tiny little bit. The whole load just disappeared into thin air, and as some finns on this forum strongly believe I tend to agree that you will find the perpetrators in eastern parts of Europe. And if it reaches there, you will see absolutely nothing from it ever since. And thats the sad thing about Østbergs car. Even if it can`t be driven we most probably won`t see a trace of it. If they can`t drive it, they`ll slaughter the cars for parts. And if they can`t sell the parts, they will dump it.

It's already three days since the robbery, I bet the car is already on the other side of Ural mountains... :rolleyes:

[GigiGalliNo1]

Just a known fact, the Lancer Evo is the most stolen car in Russia. (well i read in a mag a lil while ago) Not only would it be stolen from the owner, but again most likely stolen a second time from the guy who stole it! (meaning there would be a 2nd person to steal the car after the 1st guy stealing it - if you don't get my english)

[Simmi]

All they will find then is the old trailer maybe.

Fair enough. I'm new to this whole Europe thing ;)

Pesky Russians!

[FrankenSchwinn]

yeah, the finns tend to blame a lot of things on the Russians....

there are so many parts that one could fit to a road car. think about it, lightweight bodyparts, light weight glass, fuel cell, buckets, cameras, headers/exhaust, turbo, plugs, suspension, wheels, etc.... the only thing that i could not fit to my mother's subarat would be the stuff that requires computer mapping programs or whatever they call these things. but that's because i'm a guy who likes carburators and hates computers.

i do have friends who would love to "brake into" a computer program like that though. and if they did it successfully, then there would be no reason for me to hold back on putting that nifty little gear shifter they use!

oh, by the way, i didn't steal it if that's what you are concluding. i would have gone for an actual rally car like Tomi said.

[DonJippo]

yeah, the finns tend to blame a lot of things on the Russians....

Based on real life experience...unfortunately.

[CABAIO E'LONA]

I think it's best to not jump to conclusions. General trends aside, there is currently no reason to believe that this was done by Russians or East-Europeans rather than local people, as far as I know.

[Mihai]

The news about Ostberg's car on a Romanian automotive website:
http://www.auto.ro/Masina-tanarului-pilot-norvegian-Mads-Ostberg-a-fost-furata-cu-tot-cu-platforma--a24940--sh1.html

Oh, we didn't do it either! http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g202/gr8link/orn/00.gif

[Erki]

Re WRC outdating: form what year Ostbergs's car was? How old does a WRCar have to be to be considered as outdated?

[Mihai]

As far as I know, the S10 Imprezas WRC were buit in 2004. Another Norwegian rally driver (Anders Grondal - I think) has the last S10 run by SWRT, the ex-Solberg car that won Rally Mexico 2005. So, I don't consider the S10 as being 'outdated'.

[SubaruNorway]

No, it was Sweden 2005 The s11 was used in Mexico

[A.F.F.]

I must say rather bad joke Tomi.

[Gard]

Funny thing. Earlier under an investegation to find stolen cars. they where found in Lithuania, used by the police. This says a thing or two about how good the co-operation works in Europe

[Karukera]

The borders may be filled with vacuum, one can get caught with a WRC as it doesn't exactly look like a big Audi stolen in Germany.

So while people are looking to the East, the car is still gently stored in Göteborg's suburbs. Thieves only need to blackmail the owner to get a ransom by some clever way.

I don`t think you are right in your assumptions, Karukera. A news report today quoted Mads Østberg as saying that they reckoned the car was "lost" (i.e. for ever...). On the other hand the car that was stolen was in fact insured - also during transport and against theft - so it`s actually no use for any thieves to try to blackmail the owners. Østberg and his team is already on the lookout for another S10 - and has actually found a possible candidate. The problem is that they need the car for Sweden. With only one week between Sweden and Norway it`s more or less impossible for a privateer team to take the gamble and enter both rallies with the same car. To start in Sweden and know that you absolutely have to keep the car in one piece because you are doing Rally Norway one week (five days) later, is meaningless.

[bennizw]

Who's S10 do they see as a possible candidate btw Iskald? I've seen an advertisement on a Norwegian rally car sales site, where some Dutch team are selling off some S5's, S9 and an S10 if I'm not wrong?

EDIT:

Yes here is the site, and there is an S10 for sale, see picture: http://www.rallybiler.no/image.php?id=450&bid=3

[FrankenSchwinn]

so it wasnt the russians afterall who stole the car, but it was the norwegians all along!!!!!!!!

[DonJippo]

Is it true that father Østberg had his Subaru stolen few years back? If yes then there seems to be interesting pattern here...

[SubaruNorway]

Funny thing about that is i heard that it was Mads who had taken the car for a spinn and the story about it being stolen was just a cover up, just a rumor i heard, Benniz ore Iskald may now more about it.

[EuroTroll]

Ah, so now the truth is finally coming to light, eh? Not Russians, not East-Europeans, but Østberg himself in a bit of insurance fraud. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, you stuck-up Scandinavians! :devil:

Now Østberg has appeared on the Swedish Rally entry list as a very late entry, that entry must have been sent after the car he was supposed to drive was stolen (or "stolen")...I smell something fishy going on here... ;)

Hmm, going a bit off topic with your scandinavian favorism now. But, where have you heard this story from SUBARU NORWAY? I've definitly not heard anything like that. So according to what you say, Mads has taken the car for a spin, and blames it on that the car has been nicked or?

[SubaruNorway]

Thats what i heard from a very unreliable source think it was the 99 Impreza many years ago.

I beleive the Østberg garage still contains the other S10, a S9, a S7, a WRC98 and an ex McRae Legacy, so no shortage on Subarus.

[SubaruNorway]

Would be fun to see him in the Legacy. Rune Dalsjø is maybe going to drive the S9 on Rally Norway.

It just says that the insurance company has promised a reward for around 12.000 euros to anyone that gives info that leads to the cars's retrieval.

According to Norsk-Rally.com the Car is found i Gothenburg, and looks to be in same shape as it was when it was taken.

Bound to be a happy night for Mads & Co !!!

Good news there

Yay! wonder if they will relase who stole it

Maybe have given the robbers themselves the tip to receive the reward of 12,000 EURO ? :D

I have kept my eyes open but have not been in the neigbourhood where the car was found. The car was still standing on its trailer and found on a parking lot. It seems to be in same condition as it was when stolen. Good news for Mads Östberg :)

I beleive the Østberg garage still contains the other S10, a S9, a S7, a WRC98 and an ex McRae Legacy, so no shortage on Subarus.

Do you know the registration plates of the cars?
