As i said i only purchased it a week ago, and havn't had a chance to properly look at alarm.
Ironically, there were police at the shopping centre for some other enquiry, i caught up with them and told them. They honestly could not have been more carefree about it. They scribbled down a police theft number for me to ring, and went on there merry way.... As soon as i said it was a skyline they rolled their eyes, like i deserved it or something. Useless tossers didnt evenn ask any details about it.
I spoke to centre management who informed me that its very common at the centre for cars to go missing. I asked what's been done about it....the lady said, 'what can we do?'...How about a few cameras or extra security guards. The place is gettting a reputation now, which is going to affect the centre sooner or later.
Car theft in Sydney is just passed off way to easily as 'too hard to clamp down on'. The amount of time and money the police waste on defecting cars because of bullsh!t technicalities with ride heights or air filters, they could actually start to protect its citizens from real crimes such as theft.
The bait idea sounds good, Cops impound hundreds of imports per year now, surely instead of 'crushing them in front of their owners' as suggested in papers recently, they could use them for operations such as this.
So if parking in shopping centres, remember not to park next to bomb old cars, not next to 4wds, not next to anyone sitting in a car, not near an exit, not in a corner, a pole on both sides of the car, not on the roof, and definately not in poorly lighted areas?!?!?!?!... goodluck finding that spot.
