hey guys

yesterday morning, went outside to find my mums car has been broken into AGAIN

nothing stolen, just rummaged thru the whole damn thing

im puzzled as to how the f**k they got in there without breaking anything because once again.

the door was just open and im adamant i had locked the car the night before

just be aware that this shits happening in the northern burbz more frequently now

10-20 seconds with packing tape and you're in. Not hard really.

They were probably there for all of 1-2mins.

Get an alarm.

please explain

it does have an alarm. thats what baffles me

and its not an old car that would be easy as f**k to get into

its an 05 territory

Go talk to an racv guy, they can get into anything, obviously someone has learnt how to do it.

As for the alarm, maybe you didnt turn it on, and if cars are getting broken into that much in your area maybe you should leave them open, leave nothing in there so after they go through shit they will leave without breaking a window to get in.

A Ford? :)

Fords are one of the hardest cars on the market to break into.

unless

They have altered the door locking mechanism to the fowlcans... if they are using a different system then ok fair enough. However if the same certainly one of the hardest systems to get into.

You left the door unlocked IMO, if you can't be sure of locking it.

Do you know if the alarm even works? Have you tested it out?

im 100 % sure the doors were all shut because the car will not look and will start making a funny beep noise if you leave a door open and try to lock it

alarms working but i suspect its faulty so were gona get that checked out

gfs parents had they're new territory broken into this year aswel in glen multilevel carpark, alarm didnt go off either. No sign of forced entry or nothing.

.Ive seen RACV getinto a mates import...took him about 20seconds and nothing even close to damaging the car.....pretty scary actually to know they can do it so quick and quietly. specially if they;re telling family members how to do it who tells a friend who tells another friend... n so on.

Well, i'm in the South East Suburbs, and generally we've only had 1 car broken into and that was a old Nissan Pulsar. At the moment we have about 3 cars sitting out the front of my house including a VL Commodore, R31 Skyline (My baby) and a Mitsubishi Lancer CE. Apart from that we generally park our cars on our front lawn during the night time and keep the Lancer in the driveway so if we hear anything it is generally easy to run out the front and smash them over the head with a wrench. It's fairly good having parents that wake up over the tiniest of noises, :). But yeah i guess as long as you take your head unit with you every night when you go in or your head unit is the firmly locked in ones you should be ok, :).

If there been more than once, it could just be some punk kids that have parents with the same car?

if you cant leave your car in the garage, a cheap camera may be very useful if you think it will happen again.

"10-20 seconds with packing tape and you're in. Not hard really.

Yer people do this for a living an bring it to an art.

lol well our garage is small and is MY territory, my domain and im pretty much emptying it for the 260z i intend on buying

ba XR8 ute( dads baby),

my uncles freshly repaired merc,

mums territory

my dads merc 4x4( probably sold by then)

ASWELL as my hilux surf out the front( ill park it so it blocks the other cars)

all in a narrow drive way so if i do wake up the fronts full of cars and they might have a hard time getting out :)

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
