Not only do they not give a decent description (a Light Grey 1970 falcon) but simply because its an XW or XY its worth a lot of money?

"Whilst reasonably common back in the 70s, these days the model is pretty rare and there aren’t too many around" If being able to walk into your Ford Dealer and ask for one constitutes reasonably common then my hat is just as rare.

If the news paper was serious about helping this guy get his car back, they'd have put a decent picture up at the bare minimum.

Light grey? Could it be diamond white, which was (correct me please !) only available on XW ?

May the person who stole it have every car they own for the rest of their life turn out to be a lemon.

I think he's trying to say "shood" :
Unless he's got a kiwi accent then he should be OK.
