Car Recovered

[DECIM8]

Again, Prob rock up in bankstown .. I'd search bankstown streets for it ..

Ive noticed a jump in the amount of cars stolen from the city and surrounding areas! my friends BMW 325i got nicked from chinatown the other night.. a 325!! hello its a bema! not to mention it was ripped off in chinatown at 12am.. busy!?!

I reakon people with insurance dont get there cars ripped off because we put in so much money to insure and protect it via alarms, kill switches and so on that its almost impossable. minus a truck that is.

Im gettin very scared that people are choosing to do this, from now on im disabiling my engine from firing when I park it.

Good luck with the recovery. seems someone is building a very powerful skyline and a very powerful fd. either that or boosting them to sell but i doubt that.

Prob was cummin back for it later..

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE AN EXTERNAL TURBO TIMER!!!

A TURBO TIMER CAN BE USED TO HOT WIRE THE CAR!!! HENCE WHY THEY ARE ILLEGAL, HENCE WHY YOU GET THE TT BUILT INTO THE VEHICLE!!

If you have a good alarm, you put it in place way before the turbo timer is able to activate anyway Ignition wires are no good to anyone if they're dead...

However, if you don't have an alarm, yes you'll get a couple of extra seconds of protection as they don't have to hunt for your ignition wires.

you dont need a turbo timer anyway, they're just for you lazy bastards that cant be bothered sitting in the car for another 20 seconds or so

anyway good to see he found it, i bet he'll be getting insurance quick smart

wow thats lucky.. Did they check the whole carpark before making the claim? How did they get into the car?

thats crazy!

im glad i dont have a turbo timer or an alarm,it makes me more careful about where i park my car.

And if i have to park my car somewhere dodgey like shops,,i take the excel.Attention isn't always a good thing.

And dont back into parking spots,it makes for a quicker getaway for a theif.

Many of us have an alarm AND follow the precautions you just listed (eg. taking another car instead). Not having an alarm is asking for trouble man.. I hope for your sake the next stolen thread isnt yours!

Edit: Oops - beat me to it Doof.. haha

maybe he's just smart enough to have insurance

[Rozza]

glad to hear it was found. still cheaper options if you cant afford full coverage, like a quiktrak alarm or something, its not 100% but still very very good, my mates car was stolen and tracked down within a few hours with quiktrak...fact is you shouldn't really be parking your car anywhere but in a garage if you dont have a good alarm or comp.

Insurance wouldn't be valid on an import without an approved alarm and immobiliser anyways... its one of the conditions.. well at least to 99% of insurers .. there may be an odd one out there though??

btw congrats on getting the car back... insurance should of been the first call made once you found it.

[FATAZZ]

insurance aint worth what it costs. Just dont leave my car anywhere but my house blocked in by 3 other cars and a brick letterbox.

Goodluck

[TKR]

Im used to it.

LoL make it talk back

[DRD-00F]

It does

It sends me SMS's whenever something ain't right

[PIG747]

does it send nice msges saying thanks for washing it and stuff like dat

[DRD-00F]

When i eventually get around to washing it, I'll let you know

normally no, it's shit like "Whack kids be settin off my motion sensors with their stickball game!!!"

but in more computerised car-talky lingo...

[FATAZZ]

you should get a 'PUURRRRR' sms while washing it :laughing-smiley-014:
