Yet Another Today! Stolen!

[Vince66au]

does anyone know what these buggers are actually doing to steal them?

do they unlock the doors eg - with thick steel wire to hit the passenger door unlock button on the drivers door main switch panel? -thats one of those things you'd be stupid not to disconnect. but then again if they try long and hard enough, they could probably even unlock the drivers door lock itself.

and what do they do to start them up? it is just like hotwiring any car?

one would think immobilizers actually do something...!

this is fking madness! i would love to catch one of these c*nts!

yeah dude...my silvia got stolen once from my garage..f*k dude...if i had a gun id shoot this mfkrs..im serious..the way they took my car was by f*kn up the key barrell..they took out the plastic bit at the end and then vala..thats all..u just need a screw driver to start, and the other thing my alarm wasnt on...so it was more easier...but the car was found in 3 weeks...stereo stolen ignition damaged.

is there such product that locks the key/ignition barrell? a plate or something you put over the key slot?

[Bl4cK32]

not unless u plan on routing all the ignition barrel + associated wiring in a hardened steel tube

[Hotwire]

^Nope, but i saw an RAA guy get into my old XD.. ahh packing tape LOL

[Pauly33GTS-t]

ie wat? tape the window then smash the shit out of it to prevent glass from falling into the car?

[Hotwire]

nope, a loop of the blue packing tape stuf (used to hold things to pallets etc) -

This stuff

Basically, I was amazed how easy it was with absolutely NO sign of damage what's soever..... scary really :S

Note: don't want to detail how it was done, people don't always need to know every detail.

fact is if they want your car that badly. it's theirs. i liked the idea of removeable steering wheels. cool and very effective hah. but another alternative is to get a direct kill switch to your fuel pump. just hide the switch under your seat or something. good luck trying to start the car without fuel!!!! they can twiddle with wires in the dash for as long as they want

Not jumping to conclusions but last night I parked behind a white S2 33 type M with stock wheels and CC plates. They came from out of the house it was parked in front, looked at me suspiciously (I was in my 33 and expected some 33 mutual respect) and drove off. The only other thing I can remember about it was it's exhaust. Do you know what kind of exhaust is on it, Ryan?

[Ryanrb25]

yea man it had a cannon on the bacK!!!!!!!!!!fair loud

Yeah sounds about right. They guy drove off nicely, like it's not as if he was driving it like he stole it but if you like I can find out the street address etc of where it was and PM it to you and you can go from there. I saw it in Belair (near Blackwood)

[Ryanrb25]

that would be much appreciated....thanks heaps for your info....im not preempting anything....i just wanna go sus....just in case...i mean there is a fair few white s2 33's around.

thanks mate...a pm would be fantastic

I just messaged my mate who lives on the street. He should know what number the house is. He also saw it with me and made the comment that that guy (who is the boy friend of some girl at the address) has had a few different import cars.

[Ryanrb25]

ok..cool. not gonna assume anything.
