Stolen R32

[sskylinee]

Hi all

just a word of warning to those who have a skyline without an alarm

my bro had his r32 gtst stolen yesterday. got taken in the early hours of the morning. the car was parked in his girlfriends driveway at Ottoway and was today found by the police in Greenacres minus a panasonic double din deck (if anyway trys to sell you one), front number plate and center compartment. we are just glad that the car wasnt smashed up or anything. the d*%#heads even left us a set of keys, half a tank of petrol and a few half smoked fags on the seats. other then that the car is also missing some key holes.

the thing that gets to me the most is that the car is only an auto, pretty standard with an aftermarket exhaust but yet who ever stole it was game enough to do in front of the house right where the parents room was. it would of paid if the car had an alarm...

be careful where u park this long weekend!

"the d*%#heads even left us a set of keys" what howd they get the keys?

am i understanding this corectly?

[sskylinee]

wasnt our keys.. they theft their own in the car which is stupid

they got in the car by picking the locks

[R32FOURDOOR]

oh ok that makes sense.

howd they start it? im interested to know how they did it so it dont happen to mine

[mid life crisis]

replying to that on an open forum would enable millions of idiots to steal cars

Might sound harsh, but people who don't have an alarm in their cars should be hung, drawn and quartered. It just raises the insurance premiums for people who do the right thing and don't beg for their car to be stolen. Especially if it is parked in a driveway in Ottoway overnight.

"Might sound harsh, but people who don't have an alarm in their cars should be hung" lol

yeah maybe just a little harsh

so go out and buy an alarm today buys and girls!

how they started the car without a key? how many other ways are there?

lets just say an alarm and immobiliser would stop this from happening?

[pokie]

sorry to hear, lucky it didn't get set on fire

like our van did the other month

first thing my skyline had done, alarm. then the rest......

[vange]

once my alarm decided 2 play up and left me stuck in a shopping center for 4 hrs till i managed to disable the immobiliser lol

haha alarms dont do anything .....ive seen alarms go off and people just keep walking past, dont wanna get involved etc...the best thing to do is change your locks to keyless entry etc or just leave a rottwiler in the front seat or something......very good to hear you got your car back tho as not many people do

have u seen how immobilisers work?

unless your installer hid the relay really well, which they wouldnt have because its hard and takes alot more time (i installed my own with a mate). providing the theif can locate the relays it would only take about 15 seconds to un-immoblise one.

hey dude was this Vu's? At least it didnt get written off unlike mine!

yeh.. whos this?

[Nightcrawler]

yeah but lang, you are missing the most important functions of an alarm:

1. as a deterrent (a flashing red light at night makes a car very unattractive)

2. that 15 seconds is often the difference between a stolen car or not. The car in question was in the driveway of a home, so the second the car made a noise the thief would have been out of there.

Proof of this is my brother-in-law David's R33 was broken into last week at his home, but as soon as the alarm went off the thief fled.

Also, I have 4 points of immobolisation and a kill switch - plus 4 piezo sirens mounted inside the cabin - the noise of the piezo's is absolutely ear piercing - I would enjoy seeing a thief try to get through the 3 immobiliser points with that noise in his ear

I had an alarm fitted before i even even put a head unit in it.

My brothers girlfriend's neighbour had his newly bought R32 GTR stolen. They found it the next day with a completely blown engine. Also, a mate got his R32 GTST stolen about a week ago too. First thing you guys all need to do is get good working alarms and imobilisers and leave your cars in well lit, safe areas.
