Al Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 This happened to me a few years back with my previous car. Woke up on a saturday afternoon, after a late night, and was chillin out around the house. After about an hour or so my old man walks in and cailmly asks "why did you leave your doors open last night?" I was like WTF!! Ran outside to find all doors open, window smashed, etc. Lucky for me, if you can call it that, is that they only managed to steal my head unit and cd changer, as my amps behind the seat (in the ski hole) were "pop-rivited" to a metal "false wall" (they bent the bracket trying to wedge them out, but with 8 thick rivots hold each one, fat f@rken chance) and they could not open the boot. I swear if i catch a prick breaking into my property, they will taste the metal shaft sitting near my bed. End of rant.

dAVE Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Hey , i think that custom plates always make your car more of a target.. they are alot easier to remember. give you an example - a guy cut me off in october last year.. i beeped and at the next lights he got out of his car and threatened to kill me, then tried to run me off the road after we started moving again. what the stupid **** in his homo comondoor forgot was he had personalised plates that i still have not forgotten. When the times right I will call in a favour, find his address, and spray paint a nice msg on his car warning him to never ever act like he did that day... or ill be back who wants to help !!

predator Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 hmmm.. digging up old dirt.. but yes, i think personalised plates aren't always the best idea. While its fine for joe public (unless you make 'em angry) i have a feeling cops remember a customised plate much easier.. and if they grow a hate towards you then you're screwed.

chopobo Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 not unless its one of those dodgy custom plates that mixes the Os with 0s and 1s and ls so cops can't figure out which is a letter or number hehe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/13962-absolute-devestation/page/3/#findComment-306092 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milk Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Originally posted by gtst88 but what if he wanted back his " GTR88 " plates ? how much would they charge and how long would it take to get it ? tough luck, u cant get replacements, coz when my friend lost his plate they tell him to chose a new 1 instead coz then if he use the same plate again wich is possible but if got pulled over by cops, they will find out that the plate is stolen(which was stated by u to vic roads) and will go thru many procedures to prove u are the person who reported and u are the original owner of the plate. u have to make a statement and state which cars will be carrying that plate. i think to avoid all hassles....u shoulda just chose a new 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/13962-absolute-devestation/page/3/#findComment-309099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamezilla Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 Re: Plates. I still own the 'licence' to the GTR-88 plates, and they are for sale All I need to do is pay VicRoads $98 for new plates (in any colour) - which I will do when someone wants to buy them. Vickii: Police belive the plates wont be used as they are too noticable - probaby up on someone's wall as a trophy I still am burning over this whole thing. So much 'personal' stuff was in the car (and taken) it has really f*cked me up. Things like photos, documents - stuff these f*cks would have just tossed - is so important to me. Grrrr. Still upset. Car back in 2 weeks. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/13962-absolute-devestation/page/3/#findComment-310135 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamezilla Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 Thanks Nark Urge to kill is still rising - but may subside when I get my baby back, and move to a safer location.
