The vehicle has various distinguishing features in fact taking these together it is visually unique.  It is not yet established it had anything to do with the break-in.  I hope it is not an out-of-town birdwatcher.

Interesting re the vehicle, photo looks to me like a Toyota Land cruiser 70 series tray top, but not a new/current one.

 

Re CCTV, no need for cables, can be powered remotely with solar etc. however it would cost money and the gear could be attractive to thieves and for 'target practice'.

 

I've given up driving to Jerra,  however I am considering still going there by bus though.  Would not be hard, say using the current service 200 from Gungahlin/City to Fyshwick DFO.  Walk through from Wentworth Ave, in Kingston, off-peak every 15 mins of so. Those over 60 may qualify for a concession MyWay card which currently allows them free off peak travel (half fare otherwise)  - would make that option more attractive to some (disclosure - I do not qualify, yet!),  At $2.43 each way regular off-peak fare from anywhere in Canberra on a MyWay card, its cheaper than driving and the extra walk is probably not a bad thing. Bit cheaper still if you top your MyWay card up via BPay. Golden rule on Canberra buses for those unfamiliar - do not pay cash on-board, which is much more expensive!

Well there is not much of that car visible (just the front) but it is not an average car. It looks like a car I parked next to at Pine Island north about 3 weeks ago. I think it had a flat tray at the back. I thought it a little odd that I think the guy sat in the car for the whole time I was there, like he was waiting for something. I only went about 15 minutes doing the first bit of the stroll towards Kambah pool and frequently looking back,. But I would not be able to give evidence in court to identify it or the man in the car.

 

About the idea of CCTV at these various places, would not part of the issue be about supply of cables all the way to these remote locations and from where?

My error forgot to say could be worth keeping an eye out for the VOI ( vehicle of interest )as it COULD have something to with Jerra break-ins being the same day

 

Worth keeping an eye out for

 

NOT sure looks like NSW (yellow plates )
