Experiences With Westfield

[br3tt]

Hey guys and girls.

I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with getting to view or have footage off a security camera from a Westfield shopping center (or any shopping center).

My car was keyed last Saturday (22nd) and I have a strong feeling it was someone I know.

My car was parked on the roof of the center, in the Staff carpark. The shops where so busy on the day they kindly unlocked the gates and let other shoppers into the staff carpark.

I am after looking at the footage quickly, to see if it actually is anyone I know. If it wasn't, then I'd just sigh and be on my way.

I went to center management when I noticed the two key scratches, and a security guard took my details and said he would "put them on the computer". I asked if I could see the footage and he said "I'll put your details in and call you".

I went in today, asking if I could see it, the girl said " What actually happened?" - I said it was keyed. She then said "Hold on a second", she went into a room, spoke to a man, came out and said "there are no cameras up there". I went "None at all?" She went back into the room, and came out and said "Nope".

I know for a fact I have seen atleast 1 camera up there (as they park their courtesy bus in there).

So now I'm asking if anyone knows what I can do? Or what they have done in this situation?

Yeah sure it might be a bit over the top for 2 key scratches, but I'm going to have to get these fixed (as they are to the metal and long), and I am very curious to as who has done this to my car. So please don't post "who cares, you will get over it".

Thanks in advance,

Brett

Good luck getting anything from Westfield... when my car was broken into; they did nothing but "helped" - my ass!

no experience with security ;\

only safe car park i know of (cos a mate was a security guard there and they've got heaps of cameras everywhere - ive also seen security footage of ppl caught doing hit and run type shit and number plates are clearly visible) is Auburn Reading Cinemas - only public carpark i've parked my old gtst in.

ive never left any of my skylines in a shopping centre car park for more than 5mins..

Yeah I remember when your car got broken into. I don't remember the response on security though.. Guess I know now.

I had a double check at the carpark this-arvo after I posted this thread. There is 1 camera (which I can't see where it is being pointed - and it's next to a Satellite and stuff which is fully enclosed).

So even with that camera I doubt it would of seen my car (as there are Sails everywhere).

Guess there goes any hope. No cameras and a "park at your own risk" sign doesn't leave me with too much hope.

i 2nd that, only carpark id park my skyline in, there is always modified cars in there because its safe, and security walks around all the time.

I'd say that the camera is fake just to scare people away. Westfield are so completly crap we had no water at work the other day and they didn't give two hoots.

Don't hold your breath that they will do anything for you. It's a way bad lesson to learn but at least its not to much damage.

I have seen someone hit a car and do a fair bit of damage and just drive off.

As someone else said don't leave your car anywhere. I never leave my car anywhere at all.

i just never drove my car to a shpping center.

if i had to go somewhere like, i'd go home and get the shitter, if not i'd just not go to the shops.

yeah what HANYOU said. My sister used to work in a shop in westifield and she got robbed while serving a "DUMMY" customer. asked for video footage but to no avail even the cops didnt do anything.

she Also complained about security staff at night they once tryed to get to "close" in the car park. but also to no avail.i went searching for the prick security guard the next day but apparently didnt work there anymore (utter bullshit). You know ill find you one day buddy !!!

Its bullshit that such a big company cant provide video evidence in any such crimminal cases. hope they get sued the shit out of one day. wanka's. rant/off

[siddr20]

OMG u know what i saw the other day..

A sign in westfield parkin, like in some dodgy spot, saying we do not held resposible for any damages or thefts to your vechile.

WHAT THE HELL DO WE PAY THEM FOR!!!! such a huge ass company who makes millions of profit, and cant even put simple cameras in..

[br3tt]

I paid $5 for my staff carpark key.

I would like to sort of have the comfort of knowing my car is 'secure' in a closed section away from the public.

Not randomly let open to the pubic who haven't paid to park there.

Just so you know .. Westfields verbal complaints are not logged writen complaints are logged and followed up! any unfollowed complaints begin to go up the food chain .. so got a problem write it down the old fashioned way!

[lingeringsoul]

the only camera I know of are the ones behind the gates and it takes your rego while you take your ticket and they make sure you don't come back for another 3 hour freebe. They are VERY good at that.

[siddr20]

and westfield make soo much money from shops paying rent etc etc..

its BS!!

I wish i could speak to the owners of westfield.. would love to slap his face in

[GTR R35]

Why don't you try to call Frank Lowy the owner of Westiefields and see if he gived a toss.

He is only the 174th richest person in the WORLD http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/10/CXFY.html

[lingeringsoul]

he will if you hold a gun to his face.

[MRGTR911]

sad to hear that buddy.. i wouldnt want to be the guy who done it i would of thropwn him off the balcony..

[JUN`R32]

yehh ud think making millions they could at least put a few more cameras

and to think some people stay more than 3 hrs and have to pay, while starring at a sign saying they are not liable for any damages..........

Fu#@ tight a$$ Frank

Post a sign on his body, we are not liable for any damage caused to ur face !
