SLY R33 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hey, Just seeing if anyone from SAU is interested in getting their car crime guarded? Basically its getting your car's VIN number etched onto all the windows of your car. It takes all of less than 5minutes to complete. Its only a small silver etching onto the corner of each window on your car. There is a cost involved in getting this done, its usually $50 if you get it done. But as they do club fund-raising for this the cost will be $40 and then each car that gets it done, they (crime guard) will donate $10 towards the club. If we get enough interest i can ring the guy who does it and can organise a saturday or possibly sunday to all cruise down together and everyone can get it done all at once. As a bonus of getting it done, they issue you with a certificate and you go onto their database, and then if your car gets stolen and NOT recovered, crime guard will issue the owner with $1000. Click the pics below for a detailed explaination from their brochure which i got off them.

Evil34 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I work with the Wife of the guy that owns the rights to do this in SA. She wanted me to become part of the francise and do this in my spare time on weekends. Great idea but not so great if you want to show your car at car shows.

Min_R32 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Are the numbers really big or something =/? Ive seen a few of the new holdens with a sort of plaque inside the front window with the Vin etched on it. If its similar in size then it wouldnt be bad i guess. Any bigger...

SLY R33 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 nar its pretty small, if you look at the etching that is on your windows now (eg NISSAN and type of glass it is) its pretty much the same size as that, not that noticeable Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219072-eoi-crime-guarding/#findComment-3863796 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty 31 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 think about it someone steals your car, strips it whats identifiable if they nick 10 other similar cars? vin / unique numbers etched on glass means they cant get rid of certain things as easily ideally need to find someone who'll do DataDot for this sorta price (which wont happen) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219072-eoi-crime-guarding/#findComment-3866950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLY R33 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 ok to answer a few questions, im sure the theifs dont look at the windows when they are about to steal a car, but as Matty 31 said they cant rid of parts as easily with it on there. next, the size is very small would not get in the way if it was a show car, but defiantly a good idea if your car is a daily and you leave it at shops and that, but would prob not bother if its a show car and only a show car. so when you go out to your car next have a look on the glass that you got now and look for the NISSAN writing and under neath that i think it says Tempalite or Templex or something similar, its the same size as those etchings.. And hey its only 40 bucks and then 10 bucks for every car that gets it done goes towards SAU as a donation. any more questions feel free Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219072-eoi-crime-guarding/#findComment-3867200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
