Dodgy Car/service Salesman

[defari]

Lads,

Thought i'd give people a heads up. Seeing as thought skylines are being pinched left, right and centre, i thought id post this info about a dodgy sales rep in the westside/northside area.

Today i went out to my car - just got into it - when some bloke and his partner/gf walked up to my car.. The usual "hey nice car its a GTR right? blah blah blah" So i said to him nah mate just a gtst.. He says yeah bro ive had these cars before they cost me way to much.. he then popped his head into my car had a look... i got out of the car stood between him and the door... I said to him "so what can i help you with" (we were just standing there) he says

"im door knocking for my fathers/uncles tyre shop in milton offering free servicing for 12 months"

he then gave me some bs story his father/uncle/owner of this shop invented bridgestone tyres.. This adds to my suspicion.. I finally say to him look im not interested im in a rush.. he says no worries and walks off down toward another house (which has imports in the drive way.. some belong to a fellow SAU member who ive just pm'd)

Too many things didnt add up

1. he said he was a rep, yet had no ID, didnt even tell me his name, was wearing casual clothes (shirt wasnt ironed, was hanging out)

2. His gf/partner was dressed in emo type shit smoking a cigarette in his car (looked very unprofessional)

3. he said he had skylines before, but thought mine was a gtr when its quite clearly a gtst

4. he said he lived and worked in brisbane... yet his car was a silver ford falcon with vic number plates

5. his uncle/father/relative invented bridgestone tyres?

6. Kept looking into my car until i stood in front of him

I took down his rego plate and took a photo of his car... Not sure whether to call local police to inform them of it..

If anyone wants further info about this couple - shoot me a pm... Plates were victorian XZI-039 - silver ford falcon

Cheers

PM -NightFaLL, he has been tracking them down for moths and his hot on their tail

[defari]

pm sent to nightfall - the car is still parked outside my house..

[-NightFaLL]

Thankyou for the information notify the local police so If something is to happen they can be in the area, very strange indeed his story is shot to bits, at the moment for at least 2 weeks we all need to lay very low and keep our cars safe and secure treat them like a newborn child

Far out man, walked up right up to hey... They have no fear of being caught...

It's funny those guys. They are so blatant with how dodge they are and think we won't realise...

"Yeh I'm sure they will think I am a rep and that my dad made bridgestone tyres and that we will give them free services for a year. That ain't sus at all and people will think it's awesome and believe me".

WTF is going through their heads

[RandomHero83]

we had some guys get into our secure parking at work, they drove round the back and looked in my car park (where my r34 usually is) they then cased my mates r33 then they realised they could not steal it so they broke the window on one of the ICT guys cars and stole 12 dell laptops in broad daylight and not one person at work thought to ask what they were doing.

[-NightFaLL]

Wil hit the nail on the head they really do have no fear of being caught, and one reason is simPly because they havnt been. Things can change in a heart beat and I feel a slight change in the wind

Car is still there, I have taken a photograph of it, I will keep a close eye on the area.

I recently had a pedders rep door knock me probably three weeks ago

The difference between mine and urs is mine was actually a rep

1.He was wearing a pedders uniform

2.he had Photo ID and his drivers license ( because I quizzed him about who he was and what he was doing on my door step trying to sell me shit)

3.he had a pedders booklet showing me the deal he was offering And a range of new parts they stock

4.he didn't give a shit wat car I was in lol just cared about making a sale haha

5.when I said no he insisted on me taking a free booklet and business card incase I changed my mind

6. Over all he was professional about the way he approached me and wasn't just asking random qs about my car with his girl friend riding shotgun hahahah

Defari - I think u are right and u are being scouted mate that's way to SUSS and I would call the cops park ur car somewhere secure till this whole situation calms down

If u can't do this ^^^^^

Then remove the following

ecu

Drivers side front wheel

And the steering wheel hahahah

Also leave a note on the front seat telling them to have a nice day and ur not stupid ;-)

Realistically I wouldn't actually leave the note because it would provoke them to trash ur pride and joy :-(

[-NightFaLL]

What boost said, move your car if you can could someone pm me the address of this car I have a present for it

[FineLine]

This crap is getting out of hand. I was cased in my own home recently.

lol, this is gold. I had 2 gentlemen try and steal mine from my garage, we went out to tea and my neibhour called me asking if i was expecting visitors, they had jimmied the rear door on the house open and were looking for the keys, which were hanging on the garage wall Anyway, i was lucky enough to sneak home and me and the neibhour jumped my back fence and got the mongrels in the house. A little vigilante justice ensued, police were notified and a little more justice in the back of the wagon ensued followed by jail lol. I love country coppers

not long, within the last 30 minutes.

[wilorichie]

What do you guys mean by 'my car was cased'?

[defari]

As in someone asking lots of unnecessary questions, hanging around the area etc. Casing / scouting
