Anyone know anything about this car?

Garage talk. Anything from mounting a winch to water proofing the electrics.

All I know, using my CSI Miami skills, is it looks like it has had a whale of a car #### pose then stove in the roof so I would deduct that the owner is one ugly mofo and more than likely ginger.

Keep you eyes peeled.

A friend is keen on rescuing it and using it as a POS, but would like to find the owner for it first to find out if its stolen or not. or should he just rescue it anyway?

it should have a vin no etc which you can probably get enquire at nz post, failing that the local council may be able to help contacting the owner?

Do this!

Wouldn't want to end up being done for the theft of it if it has been stolen. Guilty until proven innocent and all that.

When I have found vehicles like this ( mostly down at the rivers around here ) I just give the cops a call with the numbers and they have told me if it has been stolen etc - with a couple that weren't they contacted the owner and gave them my cell no. so it could be moved before someone set it alight. which makes a lot more work for them. One had been dumped (we towed it to the local wreckers) the other one the owner was trying to find a way to to recover it on a budget ( they didn't have 8k so couldn't use the BOP guys :D ) we met them out there and got them sorted.

Other wise as others have said NZ Post or carjam will give you the owners info
There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance.
