I worked 2 casual jobs in Liverpool for 5 years. 3 of those years was when i worked at the cinemas on the top level. we had sooo many customers who would walk out at the end of a late night session, and run back in to the foyer and tell us their car had been stolen. four guys came back in once. they were really cool about it, even thought their car had just been set on fire! i went outside with em, and someone had broken through their sunroof, poured in a propellent, and set fire. it burnt out the whole car.
and some people think it's a big myth, but the security guards at westfields were involved in theft of vehicles. i used to work til 12:15am on sunday-thursday nights, and 1:15am on friday-saturday night. thing is, the carpark lights used to go off like 40 minutes before our patrons were all out of the complex. i always hassled security to turn them back on, but they said "it's automatic, the computer turns them off at a certain time". bullshit artists! anyway, i found out that the NRMA in conjunction with the police was investigating the security guards, and funnily enough, that firm soon lost their contract at liverpool. the newer security vguards after that were a good bunch, and car theft went down in numbers severely.
nonetheless, ive seen some dodgy people in that carpark. so, best thing is if you're going to the movies, park outside the entry (if you can) where greater union staff can see the cars from the box office. i never saw 1 car get broken into when they were parked in those few spots.
anyway, have fun, cheers, MARK
