The Skylines The Limit

[cruzin33]

Taken from the Messenger, september 12th

Nissan skyline owners are being warned by police to take extra steps to secure their cars after a spate of thefts in the past three months. Since may, 13 skylines have been stolen from the local area all have been recovered and returned to owners. Sen-sgt Carole Johnson said Skylines were targeted becouse they were high-performance vehicles and were often used to evade police during a pursuit. Police said skyline owners should install immobilisers and alarms, use club locks and park their cars in a garage or behind locked gates.

I was just speaking to a source in the know, apparently the official number of skylines reported stolen in august was 30!

The more concerning news to go with it is that approximately 80% of the cars that have been stolen have never shown up again, not even as parts being sold, so the question is, where the hell are they??

[rush33]

Yeah the 13 mentioned in the messenger was just in the port adelaide area, scary!

[MikeyGTRmike]

i think if we catch the people(s) who do this we should all get together and have a good ol fashioned lynching

[heslo]

Tis getting pretty bad but all we can do is lock up our cars, alarm them and don't leave them anywhere silly... pity some bastards think that other peoples property is theirs

[Elliotws]

its really bad, im sick of getting pulled over by cops for no reason, every time i shite myself thinking that they are going to defect me. i got pulled over 3 times and tailed twice in one night.

This is definately crap, and makes me happy that my parking at work is behind a 12' roller door and 10' fence. Apart from here, the car is only ever parked at home locked up in the garage.

brittz: how come you have to park it at a shopping centre to catch the bus to town? Are there no bus route's near your house? Reason I ask is, because if you are taking the time to catch a bus anyway, is there the posibility to leave the car at home? Or if your friend is driving to the shopping centre, maybe hitch a ride with her too?

[brittz]

there is a bus stop kinda near me but it means getting up so early and my parents dont really like me walking to the bus stop alone as in the past 3 months there has been a rape, and 5 reports of a man flashing at the bus stop i would use. and thats sick!... so thats why i drive to the shopping center and park then catch the nus in. I just wish someone would really beat up these theifs or rip out their eyes or cut a body part off insted of given them community service because they just re offend anyway! god pissed off!

Sorry Brittz but if you leave your car at TTP it WILL be stolen. If they have all day to work on it while you are away, then you have absolutely no chance. It takes under 10 minutes to saw off a club lock. They will set off your alarm 5 minutes after you park it - then your battery will be flat within a couple of hours, then they will take it. As much as I applaud your choice in buying a cool car, there is no way one should be left there. You should definitely be considering other options.

When I used to park there and catch the O-Bahn to school I had my (various crap) cars broken into at least 6 times a year. Never to steal them (as they were pos's), but to take my spare change, CDs, stereos and speakers. Once they even smashed the rear windscreen to take the 6x9s out of the rear shelf. That is how desperate these scumbags are.

[Luke_ENR34]

umm shouldnt we delete the part where it says where britt leaves her car all day as a thief may be reading this.

[brittz]

sorry yeah didnt think of that, i edited that, and im catching the bus from now on.

[Jas033]

Yep definatly agree with Andrew, Never ever leave your car at TTP unless you have no absolute choice to do anything else. I was in the Mc donalds one day and my car was in sight over in the TTP carpark and i could see some bogans walking all around it looking sussed. To many have been stolen and damaged there.

but maybe this is a good thing, because when i first got the car i was pulled over by a cop, I think maybe this is good because they are aware about the problem and are just checking to see if the car stolen or what ever, i would like it if my car was stolen and a cop pulled over the guy who stolen just to check. The more cops pull skyline drivers over for routine checks (not defecting) the better it may become... well thats what i think anyway.

[MissR34]

im sorry to say, but those "routine checks" = any chance to defect us.

my 2 cents any way

[Madaz]

It takes under 10 minutes to saw off a club lock.

um dude with 2 of the right tools you'll have one off in 30secs to a min

but maybe this is a good thing, because when i first got the car i was pulled over by a cop, I think maybe this is good because they are aware about the problem and are just checking to see if the car stolen or what ever, i would like it if my car was stolen and a cop pulled over the guy who stolen just to check.

i agree if they were doing proper license and registration checks not lets see if we can defect you checks they might get some respect

ive been on the right side and the wrong side of the Law they get my respect now as they are only doing there job no mater how we agree/disagree

[Sambo33]

yeah i read that bit in the messenger today, i pretty much dont park my car anywhere now.. and if i do its where i can still see it

theres no such thing as a routine check nowadays haha its all for defecting

famous words from a cop to me was 'this is a random breath test, pop your bonnet.' and still didnt get that breath test haha

[Pauly33GTS-t]

yeah that was famous words for me too but i didnt pass and i never got defected so thank god for that.

[Madaz]

what you would rather be done for PCA than defected
