The rusted upside down car appears to have 2 exhaust pipes, something a younger person owns with a big engine. Any car experts here?
Not a car expert but a couple of things:
i)I asked someone experienced in that regard to take a look and he said no, many vehicles are made that way with a duo exhaust which comes with the vehicle, and it doesn't look modified to him.
ii)I realize I am not in Aus, HOWEVER, many things are the same or at least quite similar. Here many, many local vehicles are stolen on a regular basis, and just 'disappear'. They are often found sometime later, burned out on vast Native Reserve area, after having been stripped of the items on the vehicle which were most valuable, or which were specifically sought out by thieves to then sell to others.
It appears that both the tires and rims are missing on the pictured vehicle. It's possible this vehicle had expensive rims which were in demand by a buyer, perhaps in addition to other features on this vehicle which we can't tell from the photos. It is simpler and presumably faster to just overturn the vehicle and take the tires off with rims, than to do it while the vehicle is right-side-up. The thieves take what they need, and then set fire to obliterate any fingerprints or other evidence which may later associate themselves with the theft.
It appears that at whichever time/date this vehicle was reported to LE by the person who saw it thinking it 'looked like TJ's vehicle', the thieves overturned it, stripped it of whatever parts they wanted, and set fire to it, so not sure the police necessarily hurried to take a look at this, nor if the report to the police was necessarily made right away?
Personally I believe this vehicle is a 'red herring', perhaps in an effort to keep all of the focus from being on the anniversary news of police handing WT's case to the coroner, with an inquest expected in 2019. Just my thoughts on it, fwiw.
