my car stolen--Found!! :)

[MrGTST]

Good news!!!! Hopefully the cops definition of hard is different from our own .... You might be lucky and it may just need a good service and away you go again ( after you get that keypad right!!! )

[APA]

thats good news man!

finally the cops do something good for an import car!

not to mess up this good moment but can the cops still inspect your car while your not there? and give ya a yellow sticker for anything? anyways man

wat the hell is a keypad?

i want one!

and is there such a thing as a fuel card?

like at bp

i saw my mates one but his was from the uk

i wondered if there was any in perth?

adrian

[MrGTST]

No way!!!!

What cop would give some poor guy a yellow sticker thats just had his car stolen!!!!

And if they do ( The police never cease to amaze me ) claim the guy who stole your car installed it and that you don't know anything about it

[MrGTST]

I believe the keypad is installed on top of your alarm/immobilliser... So even if you have the keys and disarm the alarm and immobilliser you still need to enter your pin number into the keypad before the car will allow you to start it...

Please anyone correct me if I am wrong...

[APA]

really?

where can i get one?

and

when my mate rammed into the bakc of me ages ago

the ****head cop gave me a yellow sticker

That's great to here Alan. Let us know more about it once you get your car back.

[hippy]

nice to hear that the cops are doing their job over there ... well done to them!!! hope ur car is OK..

[25GTT]

Hey Woody,

Good news dude!! Well put it this way... if it is in bad condition or the more reason to get your engine ported and polished and be like a new baby! Did you have the mods insured? did you tell the insurance co that you had all these mods on it? If any mods are broken it could work in your favour:uh-huh:

[Cake]

alan, glad to hear that, you got it back early which is good. If anything is really damaged then get insurance to cover it. I think ur gonna wanna steam clean the inside of ur car, get all the dirty thievness out of it. Hope it runs well and is ok

[MetBlue_GTST]

THanks guys,

I haven't heard anything more since 7:00am this morning, but i rekon as long as he hasn't done any curb crawling or side swiping of lamp posts, then the car will be fine and it will need a good service and probably new tires (even though i just put new tires on a couple of days ago... )

Unfortunately i already got a yellow sticker and the bastard removed it when he stole it, so i hope i don't get a fine for $400 for removing it...

If there is any damage to the car i'm going to talk to the cops about pressing charges and get some money to pay for new tires and any other damage... Maybe i should also sue for $1,000,000 for the emotional stress involved... That would be sweet!!

Dan,

Nah i haven't told the insurance about the mods yet, but i plan too soon and also get the keypad installed straight away!!!

I also plan to not drive the car for a week so as to let things calm down (cops may still be looking for it, angry people might reckonise it) stuff like that...

I am also hiding my keys and wallet somewhere really good too...

And yeah i'll get the car detailed to get the scum outta it...

Alan.

[APA]

hey alan

can ya tell us when you getting a keypad

coz i wanna get one for mine as well

I'll be getting one through Action Alarms, thats where i got my alarm installed in the first place, but Jeff Ash organised it for me, so i might talk to him and see if he can get me a good price...

[MrGTST]

Ahhh ..... yeah I have always used Action Alarms for my cars.... I have been happy with their work but didn't want to mention it because I didn't know if they did the keypads too...

Now that I know that I too would like to get some idea on how much they cost.... There are completely independant of your alarm too arent they so they will work with pretty much all alarms.

Also find out where about they will fit it in your cabin if you can ...

Thanks

Brett

KEYPADS: When I wanted to get a keypad I was told it was not a good idea. If someone breaks into your house and gets your keys, then they find out they can't break the code, they are likely to come back into the house to force you to give them the code. IF you don't co-operate you will probably be hurt.

He suggested to me an alarm system that has a secret switch hidden inside the car, and you have to press it before you start the engine. If the switch is not pressed the car automatically stops after 40 seconds ( I think fuel supply stopped).

That gives the thieves enough time to get far enough away from your house that they are unlikely to come back. Only drawback is that it is a whole new alarm system about $500, as it cannot be incorporated into your existing system.

Talk to Darren at Technik 0412 909 901 if you are interested. He has done a lot of work on my car, he specialises in imports, and I have never had any problems with his work.

Dude i think i saw you car on the ch 7 news break. Was about how they arrested the guy (who has stolen 7 cars) and showed footage of cops lifting prints off your windows.

Im assuming its the same as it was a blue R33 GTST

[MetBlue_GTST]

Well Guys my baby is sitting at home safe and sound, it's in the locked garage with the CDI unit removed... I've taken some pictures (http://alan.awoodman.net/stolen/) the engine bay shots is just for interest sakes, theres nothing wrong with the engine from what i can tell so far...

There is cigarette ash everywhere as well as peanuts and water... At least i think its water...

The dudes name is Ian Charles Varga (spell?), a 30yo aboriginal, there was a news report on channel 7 and it showed my car...

I'll be speaking to the senior office tomorrow morning and finding out much more information and when i do i'll let you know...

Woody.
