House Broken Into, Stolen Keys

[Messiah]

Hi all,

My home in sylvania was broken into on wednesday morning. Luckily the thieves were interrupted, but not before they did a runner with a ps3, some phones and a set of car keys.

They were chased out of the place and we got a clear look at the get away car and plates (blue 3 series bmw with dark tint and big rims rego JQR **1 possibly JQR *01) but it later turned out this car was stolen a week ago.

Good news is that the keys were laser coded merc keys and they were updated the following morning, the bad news is i had to replace all the locks buy a new ps3 and have to start the games all over again

The po-po believe they are from "gangs" operating in sydney's south west who will go out and target areas all around sydney.

general opinion is that they were looking for a replacement car and thought they hit the jackpot when they saw 2 skylines and a nice merc out the front (please note i'm not bragging... the merc aint mine). They break in specifically when people are home so they can grab the keys, wallets and any other valuables left lying around. They got in by lifting a slider door off its latch, so if anyone else has a sliding for without a bolt, sort this out with a bolt deep into the floor or ceiling as its a sinch to get in even if its "locked".

So just a gentle reminder all, dont leave your keys, wallets and valuables lying around, even in your own home, take them with you when you go to bed and save yourself what could be a very big headache.

If anyone has spotted a car fitting the description above over the past week or so, let me know.

Bad luck mate... Sounds to much like London!

Sad thing is if you beat the thief near death because you catch him robbing your house, your most likely to go prison for it..

Don't you love the justice system sometimes...

I'm glad to be living in Perth.

And this is exactly why I'm very thankful to not be living in the South West. Sucks to hear man...

Cheers mate, one thing to note is that i dont live in the south west, i'm right on the coast, these guys roam FROM the SW to all sorts of places looking for places to knock over.

I know somone who did exactly that and got 3 months for it, plus good behaviour and it meant he lost his job and could not get a similar one because he now had a criminal record. Just for protecting his property and family. "The System" would prefer you let a thief do what they like and then "The System" will bring them to justice.....maybe.

How is beating someone near death for trying to steal some inanimate posessions justifiable? It isn't. That's why you go to jail for it, and rightly so.

If someone is threatening my family, then I will protect them however I can. If they're trying to steal my car / stereo / playstation - so what? I'd rather claim in on insurance and live to buy another one. Yes it's annoying (I've been robbed in the middle of the night) and you want to harm those involved, but that's no justification for taking the law (and somebody's life) into your own hands.

Some of you guys need to take a long hard look at the priorities in your life.

so if someone breaks into my house i just stand there and let them finish? to make it faster i may as well give them a hand and tell them them where all my expensive items are just so they can get out of my house faster lol. if someone breaks in, of course you will try and defend your home at all costs.

+1 thats why you should have insurance

you are taking it the wrong way, if the robber see that you have found them most of the time they would run with what they have.

If you start to chase them with a knife or baseball bat you never know if they have a gun/knife or mates around the corner, its not worth going after them.

Get them to leave and keep them away from your family plus call the police.

First thing i would do if i saw them is yell out "I have called the police" and make sure family is ok and still in the house then call the police.

If a criminal enters your home they are blatantly violating your rights and you don't know if they're petty thieves or completely mental. IMO as soon as they enter someone elses home illegally they should forfeit all of their rights. No option to sue for anything, no penalties for owners giving them a beating and maybe some of the deadsh!ts would learn a lesson or think twice before acting again.

i agree with that part, i wouldnt start chasing them with a knife or anything like that.

there are a few ways i can think of to make someone who breaks into your house who you've beat to shit have no leg to stand on in court (i made a pun).

you simply call self defense. the knife/crowbar/baseball bat/screw driver/spoon that is now embed in his scull used to be in the thief's hands, you acted on impulse and the burst of adrenaline caused you to do ninja styles, grab the weapon and plant him one in the face.

if your defense is something like 'i caught him and started laying into him' then you're screwed. whereas if its something like 'he came at me with a knife/crowbar/baseball bat/screw driver/spoon and while defending myself it ended up in his face' then you're pretty much sweet if you can STICK TO YOUR STORY.

its your word against his and at the end of the day he is just a thief.
