Beyond Repair

A bit late posting tonight because we have been out for lunch in Newcastle today and then at the theatre this afternoon and back to the bay and out for dinner this evening with the friends we were at the theatre with.

I took this photo a while ago when we were photographing the aftermath of the bushfire at Salt Ash. I thought at first this car had been caught up in the bushfire but it was too far away from the burnt out bushland. I suspect it was taken by joyriders and torched once it was abandoned. Sad to see that somebody wouldn't be getting their car back.
the swirls of colour are wonderful but it annoys me how many people - children included - who have no respect for the property of others

What devastation but great for the photographer , and like Annie it really annoys me that some people seem to have joy in destroying other people's properties ! @annied

Not nice

Really sad to see such destruction. Good subject for a photographer though.
October 7th, 2018  
Great find
October 7th, 2018  
Unfortunately this is a sight that we are seeing too often!

Great find and capture...neat rusty textures

Great shot but really sad to see.
October 7th, 2018  
so sad....

Well composed to convey the sad end to that car.
October 7th, 2018  
Oh dear! I think this one's beyond an annual service!
October 7th, 2018  
Well beyond help, nice collection of rust though

Interesting story Babs you have captured the willful destruction in fine detail, such a sad end to someones pride and joy, my son had his very unique Troy Bayliss Infro strada Ducati race replica bike Stolen it was found by the police 4 weeks later burnt out, it broke his heart to see it:)

Just a quiet day then! Amazing colours in this car shot.
October 7th, 2018  
Oh dear I would be really upset to see my car looking like that ....it's amazing how you get fond of your own wheels! Fantastic gritty shot showing all the inards!
October 7th, 2018  
Great find! Sad for someone though!
October 7th, 2018  
Haha! Nice shot. I love finding these old wrecks. I found one with a tree growing through its middle one day. It had been there for quite a while.
October 8th, 2018  
Oh no!
October 8th, 2018  
What a find. Glad it’s not mine!
October 8th, 2018  
Looks a bit second-hand Babs. More idiot behaviour.

@annied @beryl @hermann @gosia @henrir @bkbinthecity @merrelyn @seattlite @mittens @olenadole @taffy @julienne1 @craftymeg @happypat @carole_sandford @girlie @kwind @jgpittenger @golftragic Thanks, sorry for the late reply but I have had a busy time this last week. I thought this looked bad enough when I thought it had been damaged in the bushfire but when I realized that it was probably torched by hoons it really made me angry.

@chimfa Yep, just a normal day. We did have a great day with friends though and the play was brilliant.

@pcoulson Oh no Peter that is awful.
October 8th, 2018  
A sorry end
October 8th, 2018  
Great details and textures.
October 8th, 2018  
Sad to see they didn't just "return" it by leaving it somewhere that the owners could get it back. But values and respect don't seem to be as abundant today as they were when I was growing up. I hate that I'm starting to sound really old! Good shot though!
October 9th, 2018  
I would say this car is totaled...Yikes! Sad state of affairs. All you can hope for is karma and learning lessons in life.
October 9th, 2018  
Oh I don't know... a screwdriver and a bit of a buff...!
October 10th, 2018  
People can be so awful can't they
