Testimonials

Kahlan Wilson

Teenager and green P Plater Kahlan had his beloved Toyota 86 Sports car stolen from Terranora, and looked to our community platform to get answers. Thanks to his detailed posts, we were able to compile a descriptive story, and get great results.

"Thanks to the efforts of The Gold Coast Torch, the Nerang sighting has paid off. We have found the car dumped in Bilambil. Without The Gold Coast Torch, we never would've found it so quickly"

Trent Mark

Trent had his moped stolen from Burleigh Heads and posted about the incident to The Gold Coast Torch. Whilst Trent was expecting the worst, a member of our huge network responded by saying that he may have seen the same moped on his way home from work.

'There is a similar looking one on Nineteenth Avenue, near the soccer fields in Palm Beach. Hopefully it might be it." – Ian Barr

Without expecting much, Trent tried his luck at finding his moped at the potential sighting spot that Ian had mentioned, and sure enough...

"It's my girl – it's been kicked around and the ignition will need to be replaced. But I just can't believe this. Thanks so much Ian, you're a lifesaver"

Darren Smith

After Darren had his tow truck stolen from his wreckers business premises in Southport, he reported it to The Gold Coast Torch.

"I recently posted a stolen tow truck to The Gold Coast Torch, and thanks to an observant member of the page, it was found in south West Brisbane – it's a great platform, keep up the amazing work!"

All of the above testimonials are true events that occurred, and these are results posted by real people who are members of The Gold Coast Torch.
