Alarm Is Doing Its Job...for Now

[(B1) MR_fanny]

10mins ago i hear my alarm go off aswell as the front flood lights. grab my keys and quickly go to my car thats parked in the driveway right infront of the door. everything looks normal so i thought it was maybe a cat, then on closer inspection my drivers door is ajar and i think the interior light was off cause im sure i would have noticed it on. no signs of tampering of the key hole or jibbing of the window seals and i'm pretty sure I locked it last night (haven't touched the car since then)

Is this a sign of some dumb junkie just being opportunistic, trying to steal whatever is in the car or something more sinister? I mean there is a bright alarm led thats always flashing. Had a quick look up and down the street only seeing some, i'd say normal looking guy walking in my direction. Should have asked him if he saw someone. What are the chances that it was him and he did a james bond on me by walking back towards me cause i sure as heck would have chased him down if he was walking away.

I'm still puzzled as to how they managed to open the door as I'm dead certain I locked it. This has happened in the past with the parents car with someone getting in and taking loose change and shit but its the first time with skyline. These people just shit me! I was all ready to unwind for the day with a movie and all...f*#kers!!

i hate that shit it boils my blood when you hear things like that... the other day i noticed i had two chrome tyre valve caps missing after being parked at my girlfriends overnight... the only people that would knock off two are some little 12 year old bogan shitheads trying to make their pushies look cool... I had the shits the rest of the night after that i found out... i would love to find somebody poking around my car or in the process of flogging something i would beat the shit out of them so hard they'd be brushing their teeth through their asshole after they woke up in intensive care... throw a cheap alcohol on them so when they go to the cops they reek of booze and your laughing

end rant

definitely some deep built up anger there......

I'd do the same

and MR_fanny, I have a similar story.... came back to gf's place late one night after going out, (bout 1 am). locked the car in her parents driveway... went inside, going to bed... 3 mins later my alarm goes off... there I am in my boxers... 1:03am at my gf's parents place, everyone asleep... and my bloody alarm goes off... I turn it off straight away... run out there to check, all looked fine...thought maybe I pushed the panic button, but then I saw the driver's door was a little bit open, and I know I closed it, because if you lock the car and the doors arent closed properly the alarm goes off when it arms after 15 seconds.....looked up and down the street, couldnt see anything... mayb it was the possums???

I sleept with pants and runners on that night... ready if I needed to be, as that had never happend before, and I sure as hell wasent going to let some punk try to damage/steal my car!

so yeh, those weird things happen!

why not try sticking some blue tack around the key hole/ window seals? see if any1 tried anything during the night?

be safe.

Note to self don't break into Space Goats car!

I would booby trap your car - maybe rig up some capsicum spray or something so that if they open the door the get a mouthful of the stuff - then you can have your way with them. Just make sure you know how to "undo" the trap!

Or you could sleep in your car. That should stop people trying to break in...

Just my suggestions feel free to use either...

[Space Goat]

... - then you can have your way with them.

as long as it doesn't invole a hard-on or an eggbeater i hope

just get a big rottweiler in the back with some dark ass tint that will suprise them

Had the same thing happen to a mate with his 180, he was a little slower to respond though and they got away with his steering wheel :S

as for some comic ideas try this

or

just say goodbye to your paint job

Woah! Angry man.

Don't park where I park then, they're gone within a day of putting them on. Yes even the $1.00 plastic ones.

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

had my car egged twice and just eary feelings about my car at my gf house in hampton park.

so now if i stay there at night, i leave the Stagea in the garrage at home. and take the Daily car if anyone wants to make a fast get away they wont do it in a Ignis ....

[Mohsen]

hey B1 if they didnt take anything.. it could be your mates playing a joke on ya...

we did it to a friend of ours... only we replaced his supra with a $100 gemini LOL

pushed it down the road and called him saying we think we saw his car..

thank god he wasn't space goat

[Space Goat]

well at least ive deterred all yous from breaking into my car and stealing my chrome wheel nuts ... the plastic ones actually look better on the black rims guy did me a favour

[(B1) MR_fanny]

why not try sticking some blue tack around the key hole/ window seals? see if any1 tried anything during the night?

yeah i had considered putting some sticky tape just to see if someone is using a key cause i still cant figure out how they managed to open the door. i just pulled some fuses out and put the car in full lock fixed with a clublock just to make life harder for them if they decide to roll my car out of the driveway. my paranoia says it could have been an apprentice at one of the workshops i've been too that was making copies of keys and noting owners addresses. am i being super paranoid?

would hate to think what a dog would do or leave in your car overnight..ha maybe a black mamba instead or a cane toad

it may be a sign i need to up the ante on some more anti theft devices.

yea i bags not cleaning up after keeping the dog in your car and as this recession gets worse and more people lose their jobs its inevitable that the crime rate will go up as more and more people get desperate maybe i should carry round a club lock from now on

I hate stealers, they piss me off. They deserve to have their hands cut off!

About 4 nights ago, we had someone break into our garage and steal heaps of shit like turbos, after market parts and even some shit out of our customers cars. My car was sitting ontop of the hoist that night coz my dad was going to change the rims the next morning for a roadworthy, and the dumb f*ks were so curious to see inside the car that when we woke up the next morning there was a ladder leaning on it into the drivers side window!

They also took keys out of the ignition to our r34...the car was parked in the garage behind other cars that couldnt be moved, and even tho we have changed the locks and ect, thats still not the point. I dnt get why people do it, they deserve to be robbed 100x worse..
