Rise In The Theft Of Imports

[Nozila]

Guys,

Ive been reading on ns.com and there seems to be an awful lot of imports being stolen. 180sx/skylines, you name it. Lock up your pride and joys and be cautious of where you leave it if its for extended periods of time. A recent thread I read there was a silver r33 series 2 stolen in broad daylight. Remember to lock up your cars. If you havent got an alarm/imobilisor, YOU SHOULD BE SHOT! seriously, get one now FFS! May not prevent them from being stolen but it will sure as hell make it harder not to mention pre-requiste for insurance purposes.

I was told from a mate (Vange) who was followed by an undercover cop last night. So from this I gather that they will be more inclined to follow/check on us due to the fact that we drive imports. Just a head up people.

Been worrying about the same thing, seeing more and more threads on imports getting nicked. I was with Vange last night and the cops went through a red light just to follow us so I'm pretty sure they were doing the standard rego checks on us (or waiting for us to do something wrong)

Looks like he's wearing leather, the hat + the body movements.. I think thats what gives it the gay look.

EDIT:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masaki_Sumitani

He apparently pretends to be homosexual for comedy. But isn't gay...... I guess it must be the cultural differences or something.

Sumitani himself is not gay. In fact, his supposed homosexuality was exposed as a gimmick when he was caught in the midst of a date, in "civilian" clothes with Japanese actress and swimsuit model Anna Suzuki, whom he has since married[1] He has been criticised for his stereotypical depiction of gay men and for building a career on parodying a social minority with "bizarre and extreme" "erotically charged antics" [2]. Despite his popularity in the mainstream, Hard Gay is not popular among some Japanese gays and lesbians, and his best-selling book did not sell well in gay areas.

i agree lock up your pride and joys,

even when u have an alarm try ever o hard not to forget to turn it on (for those without autoarm) young ones that live near your car are just waiting for the day they drive ast your house and see no red light to come back @ 2am and steal your car

Guys it's well worth having a daily driver for this exact reason........... My car lives at home MOST days tucked away sleeping!

With regards to insurance you'll find the majority actually require an alarm that autoarm's and in some silly cases some that autolock.

I've disabled the autolock function of mine as I locked my self out a couple of times.

paleeeez change the title to Rise In The Theft Of Imports

it's giving me the shits.

kthnx

auto-arm is a must. mine's garaged overnight, but when i'm at my gf's or somewhere else overnight, i get paranoid. keep em locked up i say.

[Nozila]

Definetly. Any deterrent is a good deterrent. Also daily's are a good idea, but not everyone has one. Anytime your not driving your car or near it, anything can happen. Let these thieves know that we are on to them and they are messing with the wrong ppl.

A heads up ppl, apprently there is a skyline thief expert on the prowl in Adelaide. Just read from a thread on ns.com - who would imagine of all places to get this info. Take it with a pinch of salt.

[nos man]

everyones been talking about protecting your car with an alarm or imoboliser! well what about a club lock? i had a clublock on my car but one night when i didn't put it on the car was stolen!

[Nightcrawler]

I am seriously thinking about installing 10,000 volt probes inside my door handle for would-be thieves .... to back up my pager alarm, immobilisers and kill switch .... I would love to catch one of these a$$holes in action on my car - it's almost worth sitting it in the TTP carpark one night and a dozen of us sitting in bushes in wait with baseball bats - and make sure we film it so they show it (with blacked out faces) on Today Tonight to show potential car thieves what they are in for when they get caught.

[Nozila]

seriously, i dont know why the police doesnt implement such an idea. that way, wouldnt they catch the thieves quicker? beats me how they go about their operations...

not wantin to come across the wrong way with this, but my car aint an import. i live in a nice suburb yet some c**t tried to nick my wheels one day. it was sittin out the front of my house and someone tried to nick em. heard wheel nuts crackin and went out with a baseball bat. this was middle of the day too. if i didnt hav a gastro bug at the time i woulda chased the lil f**ker and he wouldnt want to hav been caught

got as far as a kill switch and central lockin in me car, savin for the pager alarm ive always wanted (and the one my insurance company likes)

that would go nicely on you tube would get millions of hits

on a side note i heard the owners (x2 of them) sold youtube to google for wait for it $2.2bn WOW

but really all cars are stealable you only have to forget your alarm and bingo your number is up club locks are good but only deter 96% of stupid (amature) theives which is wot most of them are

[Nightcrawler]

that's why God invented immobilisers and kill switches Steve

[J_Red33]

I'm glad I've got a deacent alarm/immpbiliser on my car now, never was happy with the old 1.

I'm seriously thinking of adding additional hidden kill switches too so that if I leave it somewhere, no f*%ker is gonna have a chance cos they just won't know where to look.

Maybe we should actually set a car up to be flogged with a tracking system & see where they actually take the thing to. Then when they get to the destination the real party starts with a 000 call......
