The a/c was hangered at TPSC and was moved outside.
A/C was then "borrowed" from their hangers whilst they were having tea, hence them not knowing that it had dissapeared and who "borrowed" it.

It turns out that the pilot's had permission from some of the owners to borrow the A/C, but not the owner, who "as they say" owes them money, who in turn had gone to fetch the aerie for his own use.

So when he arrived, no aerie, threw his toys out of his cot, called the cops, phoned CAA, (???, criminal matter), and wanted certain pilots whom he suspected of "borrowing" his aerie arrested.

One pilot at first admitted taking the aerie, whilst the other denied any knowledge.
They had done a charter to some place and still had the other half to do, so had left the aerie there and had bummed a lift back to Lanseria, hence,the aerie still missing.

Since the beginning of this whole saga, the aerie has re-appeared back at TPSC and is back in their hangar.

The two pilots, rumour has it that they are enjoying a long tall cold beer.

Now did they borrow the aerie, or did they just liberate it.....who cares.
