Two kids one was 18, one was 16 both got jail (under-age got boys home) when they stole my Monaro back in the late 80's.
Must be different in W.A.
Back in the 80's some school colleagues of mine were car thieves, they would've got off probably 20 times or so before seeing the inside of a cell.

Guess it depends on how much money the family has and good a lawyer you get.
Probably depends on how sad a puppy dog face you can pull in front of the judge. I have a feeling the system was trying to make prison the last resort to leave some spare cells for the harder crims.

The 170+kph 3hr chase playing bumper cars up the freeway and highways on the wrong side of the road didn't help them. This was back when the cops chased cars till they forced them to crash (in this case a massive tree). The police wrote off three cars in that chase as the old girl went ok before the tree. I was fuming at the cops and the kids as it was a total write-off.
They had no money, no remorse and had been caught before. Last I heard about 8yrs ago they both have been in jail for 2/3rds more time than than they have been out of crowbar.

Back to the salvage rights discussion,I signed up with Shannons in November last year and I have salvage rights on my policy. I also recall them saying this was applied to all cars over 25 years.

You will not have salvage rights to your car if it is stolen and recovered after they pay the account out. Which is after 2 weeks and is non negotiable no extensions are given. Does not matter the age of the car.

Good to see clarity on the insurance issue, even though its surprised some. Can we hear how, why and what happened to the car from when it was stolen?

I was told that only if the car was written off would I have salvage rights. If the car was stolen and I was paid out in full then the rights are void.
This sounds correct, I can't imagine they'd give you salvage rights on a car they can quickly make money from ... after they've paid you in full for that car.

you just want first right of refusal
I believe that is what they mean by salvage rights.

I have been in talks with Shannon's today and they have agreed this is a very unique case, one they have not dealt with before.
Quite often a car is recovered after the pay out, it's hard to believe they've never experienced this ... or is it the first time they've experienced an owner wanting to buy his car back?
lol.

Or is this the first time they have been inundated with 1000's of calls from unhappy policy holders threatening to cancel their insurance? Hmm .

Clearly its up to us to protect our investments
Some have bollards , cameras , tracking etc
I guess its really only slowing them down if they want it bad enough
