Fuck these guys, honestly. I don't really care about the stuff I left in the car, but it still shits me. And the place is all the way out in Smithfield (386-398 Woodpark Rd, Smithfield, NSW 2164).

Website doesn't render properly (http://www.manheim.com.au/about-us/locations#q9), but I think they've got:

• Viewing Times (appointment only): Tuesdays and Thursdays 1400-1600
• Auction, weekly: Wed 9:30am, Friday 9:30am

Not sure if Manheim is holding my stuff, probably are.
