lol imagine your morning commute being a Mazda Demio taking a swim

call, but a stolen car's a stolen car. Not like they asked for it to be nicked.

mate insurance premiums are already through the roof because of this kinda crap

Leo McKenzie2026-06-25T21:57:44.000Z

At least no one was inside. Small mercies I guess. But honestly how does a car end up fully submerged in a stream?

Worked a 12hr shift now I see this on my lunch break. Some people have no respect for property. Hope they find the thieves.

lol that poor Demio. Not even a proper car to steal, they could've at least nicked a BMW

Sam North2026-06-25T23:22:44.000Z

Must've been some joyride. Did they think it was a submarine?

Hana Stewart2026-06-25T23:47:44.000Z

Exactly. Some people have to work for their stuff.

Kai Thompson2026-06-25T23:41:44.000Z

Yeah nah council will probably invoice the owner for removal. If it's stolen though, insurance job. What a mess.
