Port Campbell police Sergeant Liam Cook said the Range Rover 2017 model vehicle was stolen from Darley, near Bacchus Marsh, on September 21.
It was found burnt out at Moorhouse Road at Glenfyne about 9am Sunday, near the Curdies River bridge crossing.
"It's believed the Land Rover was dumped and torched some time between 6pm on Saturday and when it was located on Sunday," he said.
"Anyone with information, or who saw anyone suspicious in that area overnight Saturday, is requested to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000," he said.
It's understood the person who allegedly stole the vehicle has already been arrested and charged by police.
Koroit police are also appealing for information after separate offences in recent weeks.
Sergeant Pat Day said that on Friday, October 15, at 11:15pm, a Hyundai iLoad van was stolen from an address in Koroit and later dumped off the lookout at the top of Anzac Avenue.
"The van was stolen from the front of a residential home and either pushed or driven off the lookout on Lake View Road at the top of Anzac Avenue," he said.
"The van came to rest part-way down the steep embankment on its side and had to be recovered by heavy haulage.
"We are appealing for anyone who saw his van being driven in the hours before or after midnight on Friday, October 15, and anyone who has CCTV on Lake View Road to make contact with the Koroit police station on 5565 8202."
Sergeant Day said that over the weekend of Saturday, October 16 and Sunday, October 17, signs inside the Tower Hill State Game Reserve were damaged.
"Four signs for the walking tracks have been damaged by pulling them off the posts and or bending them out of shape," he said.
"They have all had to be replaced and an estimate of the cost is around the $1000 mark.
"If you were in Tower Hill over this weekend, or saw or know anything about the damage, please make contact with Koroit police."
