Car got broken into in my driveway last night. Lots and lots of things stolen. Lots of things smashed to steal things.

I am very very unhappy :D

All the Apexi gear was taken (RSM, AVCR, boost guage) so if anyone (particularly VIC members) hears of these and other things for sale in a dodgy manner - notify the police to check it out.

Really pissed to hear that mate.;) What f@rken a55ho1es!!!

Hope you get your car back to scratch and that the insurance doesn't stuff you around!!

Hate to say this, but sounds like some inside knowledge. How did they know that your alarm is not equiped with some kind of motion detector.

The reason the alarm did not go off is probably due to a lack of motion/infra red sensors. If they didn't open the doors or try to start the car the alarm could not detect the theives. If you wish to not install any motion detectors (as they are known to sometimes false alarm) an idea to to install a 'trigger switch' (similar to the ones in your doors or under your 'hood' and 'boot' lids) in your 'center console' and 'glove box';) . A theif will almost definately look in these areas for goods, and once they are opened they break the electrical circuit and the alarm will trigger. :uh-huh:

... bunch of savages. I dont understand why they take things like the AVC-R, its useless unless they pop the hood and take the MAP sensor, wiring and solenoid valves as well.

The hide of people, the courts have a lot to answer to, theft like this cost insurance companies $$$, owners heartache, and often these people are known to Police and have committed similar offences before.

... anyone read the comic PUNISHER when they were younger?

Anyways, hope insurance does the right thing by you, and your back motoring soon.

... and AL, is this is DIY job, is it a matter of a few $$$ at Jaycar then wiring them in series with those for the doors???

Its weird how most people who have their car's broken into or the ones we here about on here are from Sydney. Is Sydney really this bad? Looking at performance forums almost 95% of the stolen posts are from people in Sydney.

Surely this stuff has to happen elsewhere? I know it would but why does Sydney have so much more car theft then other cities?

Thanks all for your support.

I have spoken to the main Apexi distributers here in Melb asking them to notify police if anyone comes in wanting the 'extra' parts of the AVCR and RSM.

Re: serial nos - I don't have any of the ones from the car stuff - as they were on the car already. The other personal items taken had serials - have been given to police.

The GTR-88 plates were taken. If you see them driving around - call the cops.

Re: alarm - I have no idea how they got around it. Really really f*cked. :P

Quite upset about it all. Will keep you posted.

Thanks again

james

Do you have motion/infra red sensors in the car? With a car like that, i would seriously consider an upgrade in car security.

Really sorry to read about loosing all those sentimental goods. A car can be fixed/replaced, but goods that have alot of personal value are priceless. One thing that wasn't stollen were your memories, sounds a little corny, but your gf will always be in your mind and heart.

      High temp brake fluid?

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
