Some People Need To Get A Real Job

[blind_elk]

Yesterday, while my car was parked at Glen Iris station, some pathetic excuse for a human being broke into the car, smashed the ignition lock, so the car is totally undriveable. Fortunately the column locking pin came out, so at least the car is steerable.

$132 to get the car towed home! $300 plus for a new ignition lock. God knows how much to get the barrel re-jigged so I can use the same key. Then a new alarm (the battery was disconected, and now the alarm doesn't quite work properly, although does lock / unlock the doors).

So if you spot someone with severe hearing problem - the Jaycar screecher went off on him LOL (110dB at 2kHz!) - that will probably be the useless SOB.

If the police ever catch him, I'm going to hang, draw and quarter the bastard. Then I'll tar and feather him. Then I'll pull each of his teeth (no anesthetic!). And then I'm going to get nasty!.

not good!

I live in that area, not good at all...

I would love to catch some punk kid in the act!

one of the big problems with train station carparks is the iced out junkies can ride around on the trains all day hopping on and off at different stations/carparks to bust into cars, you're way better off parking a few hundred metres away and walking to the station from a quiet street, or, drive to work

damn dude i know how u feel..same stuff happened to me at the start of the year but in front of my house!!!

i couldn't turn my key at all so guess the guy f**ked it up but it didn't cost $300 plus rejigging for original key to work. only cost me $220 all up? got a mobile locksmith to come down and do it for me?

sorry to hear mate, I hope one day you find those bastards...

sorry to hear about that

theres a locksmith near the victoria market who recodes your barrel for $50 .. there pretty damn good... there located opposite the lexus dealership near vic market. ive used them b4 and was going to use them to recode all my key barrels when some1 stole my keys from a mechanic whom shall remain nameless. Found it a lil cheaper to go 2 a wreckers who swapped all the barrels plus a new key and a lil cash adjustment

I live like 200m from Glen Iris station and my car is mostly parked outside. Never had a problem. All I could recommend is don't park in the actual station carpark where scum patrol looking for cars to break into. Instead just park in a side street and you should be fine. Unfortunate to hear though.

Yer train station car parks are a big no go. Even though some have cameras they're still bad.

Sorry to hear though

NEVER PARK AT ANY TRAIN STATION!

I left my car there for under an hour, coz i was in desperate need, and came back to a car full of trash, not to mention everything stolen

[AutoTrust]

Sucks to hear that, +1 for never park at a train station.

On closer inspection, it would seem the SOB was actually after the car.

Bloody police were useless. The SOB left the scissors he used to pop the door lock. Thought they might be good for fingerprints, but copper wouldn't even try.

I've got a new ignition lock, but it looks wrong - has an extra set of wires on the barrel.

Hopefully when it gets all back together, it will be bulletproof.

yer man hopefully shit works out better this time for ya

[Royalflush]

personally car theft is lame... No respect for people who enjoy breaking harts of hard working people...

I work hard for my car... and everything in it.. anyone caught trying to damage it or steal it better call the police them self.

its a pitty that police cant really help out in situation like this..
