As i thought I SHOULD have gotten an alarm as the 360 was stolen from the train station. Police said its going to be hard to track it down since it could have been stolen anytime.

Its been good guys but things change and 360's in good condition are rare in oz.
Thanks for all the help

For god's sake, what's going on with 300s in Oz? I'm gutted for you mate, I came close to losing mine quite recently. I hope they find it, or you at least get a good insurance payout.

Man that sucks!! And yours looked like a minter! I have a self immobilising alarm, worse they could do is wreck the steering column.
When my corolla got stolen, found it double parked outside the museum in a loading zone 5 days later.
Good luck with the find and your next car.

I was going to say something along the lines of since I've been a member of this forum, nearly everyone on it has either had their car scrapped, crashed or broken into.
I'm kind of relieved now
