A woman in Australia has been left ‘mind-boggled’ after her $100,000 muscle car collection was stolen overnight.
In the season of giving and kindness, one unfortunate woman has been left with a horrible present.
Femke Koenders, from Victoria, Australia (two hours north of Melbourne) has been building up a collection of muscle cars for two decades.
But after 20 years of saving, she has had her pride and joy taken from her.

Muscle Car collection stolen from Australian woman
Koenders is quite the muscle car enthusiast, having spent 20 years saving up and investing in her collection.
Her portfolio of grand possessions boasted a 1971 Mustang, a 1969 Mustang, and a 1971 fastback Torino, with a black and red hue pattern oscillating through all three strapping cars.
However, on October 17, she reported that the cars were missing.
The collection was claimed to be worth over $100,000 before being stolen, along with a range of equipment and parts, such as a diesel generator and a security camera.
Speaking to a local news outlet, Koenders claimed that this isn’t the first time that she was robbed and that the thieves targeted her locked garage with power tools.
“It was all locked up and secure, but they’ve come in obviously with power tools to break the locks.”
“I think they’re the same person that’s been breaking in over the years because they do the same thing each time they break in; opening all the cupboards and turning over the couches.
“A few years ago they stole a quad bike and a posty bike.”
Reports claimed that one vehicle was spotted in a nearby area (Maroondah Highway).
Police have encouraged people to come forward if they know anything, and can be contacted at Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
The stolen muscle car collection has yet to be returned.
With hope, the cars will be found just as easily as this Ferrari, where the thieves flaunted it just a few blocks away.
