Skyline Theft On The Rise

[045HOW]

So i haven't seen much on this forum about stolen skylines (maybe more specific state sub forums have some listed)

But yeah skyline and silvia theft on the gold coast and Brisbane is insane!

The amount of 32s and 33s that have been stolen is just out of control!

If anyone trolls Boostcruising,you will normally see a thread a fortnight at minimum.

For example last week a white 32 was stolen then a 32 4 door was attempted to be stolen and just yesterday a blue S14 was stolen.

Are there any other states that this is on the rise?

Discuss!

A user on boost is compiling a list of all the stolen vehicles. Will post here when completed.

Insurance,alarms and vigilance people!

Shit is rough up here!

Mostly this news is as you assumed, in State Forums.

Over the past year I've noticed (& I could be wrong) that per capita population...

SA & QLD would head your list

NSW, ACT & VIC follow a bit behind

Many SAU Members take steps (in their own ways) to be vigilant too, as best we can.

Seems every few days there's another import being nicked here in SA

Gold coast is getting worse...

theres been one a week i reckon for the past few months.

Is there any connection in any of these places eg all been found burnt out, or do they all just go missing off the face of the earth? Its like some price has put on skylines just ridiculous

[045HOW]

You will always get your joyriders that burn them out.

But the majority of these thefts are organised and done for parts.

Another example is a month or so ago a ceffy was broken into but they couldn't start it so they stole the 4 door 32 next to it. then the next night a guy came back to someone in his 33 at a shopping mall pulling apart his dash. the guy jumped into a 32 that sped away while the passenger pointed a gun out the window at the witnesses.

Rumours are (and always have been afaik) that gc cars/parts end up in melb/syd and vice versa to stay under the radar for stolen parts.

yeah theres a few gettin takin in newy i think yoggibears 32 gtr

was the last i heard bout but i think he ended up gettin some stuff back

ya can only do ya best to deter them ie alarms immobilisers n such

but if they really want a car they will get it

take tinklers ferrari for example

[tweety bird]

as far as newy, i've heard of one at lest on here anyway.

I bet they get scouted on sites like these then parted out to the same community the vehicles were stolen from.

In w.a Perth and south have had shitloads stolen in last month my R34 bein one ov and a 33 just up the road was attempted he saw 5 6ft tall males in the house they r very organised and pik the locks walk straight in and grab the keys police say there is a massive chain ov stolen imports and there re-birthing the cats n selling the over east and over seas .... its not that hard to work for your own money

Thats spot on we gotta watch what we say about our cars on here, we forget its a public forum

[sikmatesubwoofa]

Scum, just scum, get your own cars you jobless losers. People, get those alarms which have SMS to alert you if you're away, trust me people don't give a **** about alarms if they hear them. Insurance is also invaluable but I guess the best way is not to park anywhere dodgy or dark and try to be vigilant. At least make it harder to get.

[TerminalWraith]

What suprises me is how many people show their plates on sites. Its easy enough to get someones suburb and plates let anyone know what it has fitting from forum bragging...

[CruisingFast]

I've noticed alot more of this sh1t happening of late and made me start thinking about GPS tracking options.

Has anyone got a GPS tracker fitted?

I've seen a bunch of cheap units on eBay that don't have the subscription service fees... made in china so not so sure if they're any good. I think this is about the only hope one would have at finding there car again. That said, you would need to hide it pretty good and have battery backup so they can't disable it too easy.

apparently the best and most effective method is to get an alarm with a sim card, as thieves can use devices to jam gps signals.

cheaper method and the cops can trace mobile signals yeah?

also a 180sx and yellow VP commo separately stolen last night in the brisbane area..

[TerminalWraith]

It'd be interesting to see all these theft locations on a map.

[sikmatesubwoofa]

Actually the phone thing sounds good, the cops would be able to if you give them proof of ownership and the car has been stolen. Would be great to see one of these scumbags thrown in the big house.

$50 mobile gps setups on ebay
