AC/DC Pinball Stolen.

[pinsanity]

Thanks for this Pinsanity - good for a laugh. Mick Molloy & Tony Martin were a great combination. BTW, did I read somewhere on AP that Mark C has an hourly pinball restoration rate higher than a barrister (start at around $525 per hour (inc. GST)?). Surely this was in jest  . I guess that's why he's so upset about losing the machine - it's not the cash value, it's the sentimental value. His dad must be an old rocker.

 

Apparently most of the expenses are due to the excessive pet food bill in order to attract the stray mutts in the neighbourhood to the premises.

Should have spent it on guard dogs rather than lapdogs.

A good idea is to register your serial numbers on IPDB and have your serial numbers written on your purchase receipts which can help later with Police or anyone saying that the machine is in dispute.

Karma catches up with all thieves.

Exactly.

Stealing a pinball machine is definitely a dog act. Will be interesting to find out what really happened once (if) the game is located.

It couldn't have happened to a better guy.

Yes it does and this is living proof.   

I've got to say I couldn't stop laughing at the irony.  Too bad their machine is lost in space.  Seriously $15K?  Geez you guys take a pounding on new games. 

My money is on an insurance claim being filled out...damn the irony is SO F'n funny! 

I can't help but think there's one mate that somehow is behind this...good on ya mate!  Those camera's didn't pick up the guest of honor who made off the game...I definitely believe in ghosts!

I honestly found this one of the funniest newspaper article since the fake "Percy the dwarf found in badger hole". Literally ROFL. The thing weighs what, 200+ pounds? It required at least 2 big guys, & probably 3 or 4. And a truck or van (or a Mitsubushi Mirage). It's an LE so can't really ever be re-sold. The daring robbers knew exactly where it was (in a container). And the clincher? "The theft has rocked the factory."

Not forgetting the gay movie the dwarf supposedly starred in " HI HO, HI HO its up your *** we go"
