If he/she's unemployed, probably at $5 a fortnight

Sorry to hear man....those pics were very distressing to look at.

That switch on the handle thing is a very good idea. Kinda reminds me of the handles of old maximas ( i think) that had a key pad on the door handle! So you had to type in the code to open it. No key hole to **** with =)

i got it all fixed about a week ago. The only thing i need to do is make a round bit of metal to go over the lock mechanism so u cant stick things in it... they were not sure how i wanted it to look so they just tidied up the buggered lock and left it for me to sort out.

door & handle look like new now... all the little scratches that appear over the years are gone now. be nice to paint the whole car

MY Commondore was boken into near Therbaton a while ago, they broke the entire door handle off the drivers side, bent the metal back like yours, put a screw driver or something through the boot lock damaged the boot and so on. The repair cost was $1125 for everything that needed to be done, and during the repair I had them remove the boot lock and replace my boot end with one from a VX (no key lock), and remove the locking mechanism from the drivers door so the car is now entirely remote.

I assume my car will be broken into every time I drive it, if I come back and it hasn't been, it's a bonus. The place is full of motherf*&kers. I park in TTP al the time and have not been broken into there, was hit in the passenger side with a trolley which must have been intentional as it left a lot of small dents and scratches though.

i will never park my car at ttp ... unless i had no choice ... i never shop there anyways ... there are just waaay too many gangsta kid wannabees there ... i find myself being very selective about where i park these days ... what has this world come too??

School Holidays is the absolute worst. Those wannabie Homies are like 10fold the normal rate. Like last holis, someone got stabbed.

this idea with the alarm addition in the door handle, whats it supposed to do? set the alarm off if someone lifts the handle? or if someone levers the whole handle out? if its the latter.. then if they have levered the handle out, you can basically assume theyd be getting into the car... and to do that they have to open the door once unlocked which would trip the alarm anyhow. am i missing something?

[Turbo Tits]

the sooner the alarm goes off the better, no? if the alarm started blazing after a theif had only JUST lifted the handle from the body, i would assume that about 30 seconds or so would be needed to remove the entire handle and find the door lever mechanism. that would feel like a LONG 30 seconds with an alarm going off in your face.

In most cases, the alarm wouldnt go off until the door is wide open and the thief is already in your car. from that moment, only 10 to 15 seconds are needed to grab wateva he/she wants or to do a quick search-and-grab.

in the end, you can never have enough security, even if this may be taking things a little too far.

on the other hand, if someone was going to break into your car to steal something they can see through the window, most of the time they just smash the window, grab your gear and run.

realistically, none of our cars are safe. even though some, like myself, keep their cars securely garaged when not in use, i can recall a few times when ive had to lose sight of my car for a while in public places. and a few seconds is all someone needs, be it with a screwdriver, hammer, or body filler .

[Cubes]

Boost32.

What year car is your 32?

Reason being is that I've got a 92 model and I don't have a key lock on the passengers door.

Might be worth hunting around at the wreckers for a non-key handle..

[Guest wilco]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

A nameless Adelaide car audio joint was also busted providing the names addresses and security information on cars to less noble members of society immediately after car alarms were installed, resulting in regular breakins in the weeks afterward, it was only once they started breaking into cars the same night the alarm was installed that they were busted.

It couldn't have been strathfield... they dont sell anything thats half decent..

Our 5yr old 55kg Male Rottweiler that stands 75cm's high and is close to 40cm's wide is trained not to bite but to round up people, cats, other dogs with a two words....

Get em'....

Funny thing is he is like a big kid.

He enjoys his self so much doing it, as he looks back with a silly look on his face saying look Dad. Lol...

[TIMMMAYYY]

rounds up cats lol.

My boss has a property at clarendon and his pair of dobermans ar regularly rounding up his own lambs for lunch.

Anyone who would even think about breakin into a house with a decent size dog is askn for a death wish
