Wtf Is Going On!

[Dohmar]

dudes...

what we should do is import some blowtorches from China (my bro got them for AUD$140 and $80 postage), hook the switch to our car's alarm system, set it to minimum, so when a person sits in the driver's seat and try hot-wiring the pride and joy, he will get a bit of a scar to remember it by.

Two words. "Tactical. Nukes."

-D

I always park next to expensive cars. 1) They'll get nicked first before I do; and 2) They won't go throwing their doors open.

that's true. BUT if you go to marion on a busy day like yesterday, it make take ages before you find a more expensive car with free slot beside it!

=========

I thinking of getting a 350gt to enjoy but it seems like it's a thief magnet!

it'll be a daily driver parked in an open parking area (flinders uni) and I shudder to think that I have to wonder what is happening with my car every single time.

^^^ I disagree with that.

1). no-one knows what a V35 even is.

2). They are not turbo, so presumably as miserably slow as the 350Z, hence no fun to steal.

Get one anyway - they are a hot car, and if they were turbo I would own one right now myself.

[KISIN]

bait car idea will never happen,

everyones been saying that for months.

oh and make sure to post up the location of the bait car so that the theifs can get on here and know where it is, we might have more advertisment and more luck of it being stolen then

Coz its stupid.

Sum1 will be left with their cars window broken and ignition busted.

Arrested for beating the scum senseless.

Sued by scum, bent over by cops + huge fine etc.

Also, cops wont do shit most of the time. Just give up on them.

My old man locked his keys in the V35 (duh I know!) and called the RAA out. The dude said that had NO documentation as to how to get into them and he had to wing it. After a while we nutted out a way in but it wasn't easy (no I won't post it on here) and he said it was definately one of the harder cars to break into.

Definitely get one however, AWESOME cars and sexy as. Chuck a turbo or two on while you are at it

im so sick of people keying, scratching, stealing, tossing shit at the car!!! Gosh!!!

most 350gt has the skyline word at the back. I suppose that's all what the thieves need to know.

[RubyRS4]

try and keep the derogatory comments out of it, im sure we all have strong opinions about SAPOL, but they do read these forums and the last thing we need is to increase the reputation car enthusiasts have of being anti-authority.

I hardly think the cops are going to have a cry over my comments. And FYI I have a few friends and family members who are cops. They hate the job.

Wana come round with that baseball Roo? lol

PS Nene said she would be happy to take you up on your offer of borrowing the RS4.....she said she will take real good care of it!

Sure Ben. You supply the baseball bat, I'll bring my little "items"

The offer is seriously there for Nene to drive my Stag while the GTR is fixed. I shoulda mentioned something last night to you guys ... but you know how those group gatherings go! LOL

Catch you later today Ben (we're going to paintball your ass). I'm taking the RS4 to Everlast now.

[JDM032]

shyt i just read this n damn Y??

hope u get it all fixed soon ben. how much u sell it for??

and ruby let me know im up for sum criminal style basebal lol haha

wat about sum golf and the thieves can supply the golf balls haha

[RubyRS4]

As for the usual comments of why was it on the driveway...well lets see....4 cars, 2 undercover car parking spaces...hows that math work for ya? As arrogant as it may seem to say, the GTR is one of the two cheaper ones that get chosen to sit outside, and as i said, it, and all the others have alarms.

I hear ya Ben and I know the limits you have at your place.

Same with my MV Agusta Brutale as you know. My Italian F4 bike is worth more than my cars, so guess which one gets the spot in the garage ... especially when my insurance is specific on that part. As much as I love my cars too, the highest capital investment gets priority. And its alot easier to steal a bike than a car.

BTW: when can I come over and we'll fit the Ohlins coilovers to the Stag

and ruby let me know im up for sum criminal style basebal lol haha

wat about sum golf and the thieves can supply the golf balls haha

Yeah, it'll be fun. I don't care much that people label this action "vigilante". I'm old-school, so whatever gets the job done is good for me. I can look after myself more than well enough, so I've got more confidence in a situation that most. I grew up in a rough area and worked in a rough area, so I'm used to shocking violence too. If word gets around that owners are fighting back, I hope that'll deter the thieves. I'm not relying upon the legal system to do its job, so you're a fool if you do too.

Its all about protecting our rides. No one comes to my party without an invite. So if you come trying to play with my toys, the party will be on you!

There will be no pre-determined night or car or location for the bait, but it will happen and we'll flush them out and have some fun. We'll bait out our 'definite' car thief, not some innocent, and we'll think about handing over whats left to the cops.

well yesturday my brothers 32 was attempted to be broken into. drivers and passenger door both f*cked, where the handle meets the door. holes in both sides.

[kralster]

Way to got 50 cent.... oh wait i mean ruby.

[GTR-32]

Everyones always saying 'If ya can't afford the insurance, alarm and so forth, don't buy the car', well if you don't have the space at ya house, why have so many car's/bikes? Keep one or a few at a mates house that has space behind gates/garage door?

either that or just invest in a fence at the front of your house and a big german shepard i know i wouldnt take my chances with mine if i didnt know it

Funny enough you mention part b) and c) there...second and third. Last time i reported my car stolen (found it myself the next day!!) the police told me to firstly do what i must if i caught the low lifes and then call them It's better than using the items under my bed with the gunpowder if you get my drift

My car is also parked outside, unfortuntely can't help it...but since having the pager alarm for some odd reason the car hasn't even been touched!

when my car got stolen the police had nothing but accusations and abuse for me( just cause they couldn't keep up with it in the 40+min chase they where in hows that my fault)

Another person generalising

"Why have so many cars/bikes"? Because I can. Last year I had a big house with a big garage and a decent backyard. The divorce took all that away from me, but I managed to keep my toys. Most guys do not get that luxury. I now live in a location that doesn't have much capacity for many vehicles, but they're all insured and secured in some way. Once I clean out the garage of the crap in boxes from my divorce, then I'll have more room to accommodate one more car.

If you can't afford the insurance etc, then don't buy the car. That statement is true. Because if it does get nicked, you're financially covered. All my toys are insured and secured in some form. So long as I do that, who's going to stop me from owning so many cars/bikes?

Well don't come complaining on the forums when/if one of them gets stolen/borken into..!

I'd be investing in a 7ft wall/fence with a lockable gate.

Why would he do that when he has insurance?
