Cars Broken Into...

[htial]

Last night around 3am my neighbours boat was broken into. He interrupted the maggot, but the damage was done.

This morning I found that both mum and dads cars had been broken into, and my car has been keyed. So not happy.

Again,

So many senseless people in this world..

hope you have insurance mate.

I once had my GTR badged in my driveway behind a gate in Springvale and robbed 3 times hence I moved to a suburb not near a train line.

Whoop Whoop!

Oh well... ...I've got some black and white spray paint... ...Now I just need to head down to seven 11 to get some surpee cup lids and I'll make some "security cameras" for around the house...

[xALmoN]

pictures when you're done.

Not much crime in my area..... but then again there is scum every where you go. Some suburbs just less than others.

There are often reports of a crime gang "testing" the security of new buildings on st kilda road where they target anything of value in storage cages in the "secure" basement car parks. Lack of cameras, too long delays on auto closing access doors, and lack of care by residents leaving remotes in their cars means anyone can gain entry by tail gating through when someone enters the car park, steal a remote and booya you have ability to come and go..until the building admin cancel the remote (if they bother).

[xALmoN]

so where do you live?

[Downforce]

St Kilda Road.

lol, isn't that really trashy too.

Problem is, doesn't matter where you live, the burbs will never be secure. All you need is some guy walking past and they'll rob. They don't plan for it, it's driven by impulse.

Whether or not they live in the area or just happen to be there is a minor factor.

Unfortunately, it's a "wrong place, wrong time" situation; unless it's like the OP's story and it happens at your house - then it's a "shit happens" situation.

They way to stop your car getting broken in to is to get an R31, the only reason they might break in is to leave you some cash in there for you to buy something better.

Was at broady station one morning to go to uni. There was a VH parked in the bay closest to the station entrance. The keys were sitting neatly on the dash with the windows wound down.

11 hours later, I get back from Uni and the car is still there...

So the R31 trick may just work.

Woot... ...I just started putting a slab down now... ...decals are screwed anyway... ...they're coming off this weekend for nats so I'm not too worried... ...hoping Mitch can buff the scratch out of it... ...otherwise I'm going to get the whole thing resprayed over new years...

Ahh, no it's not actually. Far better than the outer suburbs. Note I said St Kilda Road (Melbourne), not st kilda the suburb which is indeed scummy in some parts.
