Make sure you keep details posted and keep an eye out for each other! Nothing worse than thieving scumbags!

4 vehicles in Kambah last week. Definitely car theft is on the rise again locally.

Several in Canberra the week before from all over mainly North side and Woden area.

All types Makes/Models not just ours.

I know it happens all the time, but the increase just lately is a real worry.

Immobiliser and Club Lock... CHECK! always.

Still, even if the car is not stolen, the pain of fixing the damage is in the Arse.

Had this happen years ago in Lyneham, my old '85 Bluebird was never the same and all they got was a mini maglite.

Are we nearing school holidays?

I'm glad I live up a battle Axe and you can't see mine from the road.....

Might pull a fuse or two just to be safe

[GTRKat]

Mine is in the garage and gets parked in. Also don't let very many people know where I live.

Overparanoid but I'd kill someone if something happened to my GTR.

Usually pull out a fuse. And leave nothing tempting inside as I live in the ghetto. Part of the south.

Noisy neighbours, attack dog (use to be guard dog, got grumpy in old age), full garage, good immobiliser, keys in key safe, security system.

Not sure I can do much more

Yes - yes you do

4 from your suburb over a few nights

[B-rice]

that's an even bigger worry now. Well it's insured for theft aswell but would suck to loose it.

For sure, garage and padlocks.

Problem is when its gone theres no one to kill. Its too late.

Like finding your car with the window smashed for stealing the stuff inside. The bastard has long gone and your left standing there feeling angry and powerless to do anything about it.

So never leave it for long if you take it out. Its only about 5-10 seconds for someone to smash the window and steal your phone.

Lock up people, and avoid the sadness.

Ps: what is a key safe? is it a place thieves know to look for important keys? Put your safe into thick concrete with reo.

When i was 12 in Melbourne our house got broken into, they used power tools to get into the garage and steal dads stuff. You gotta make it hard for the bastards, I lock up tools and cut power to the shed.

If they know what they're doing and if the car has a alarm they will pop the bonnet pull fuses to turn it off, Happend at my old car yard they took the whole interior from a calais was 8g or something stupid to replace the genuine seats.

We would aslo came in to find cars sitting on the ground with no wheels maybe if they were nice they may have put a millk crate under so they could get there jack out lol. but jacking cars up in random spots just to get it of the ground ruined other parts of the car skirts ETC

Anyway lets face the drugs today are bad and these kids will be wired as ten men at 2am while we're sleep or whatever they want a fix and will do anything at the time to get some coin.

have a good day sau.

A key safe is a normal safe with key hooks. Stops the walk in steal the keys and drive away that occurred about a year ago in Sydney a few times. It stops 99% of thieves in their tracks, if they want keys.

The 1 ton safe that attracts them, but that just has the boring stuff in.

But hey who would bother trying to crack/burn/blow up a safe for a $20-30K car. There's plenty in carports or out in the open. And bypassing the alarm etc is probably easier if the keys are locked away.

Disconnect cam timing sensor. Goes nowhere

Insure for a high agreed value. Lock in a garage. And don't worry about it. Going to all these extra lengths won't stop a pro. Get a house alarm installed throughout and in the garage. They won't make it in the front door without an alarm going off, let alone have the time to steal a car.

Until they pop the bonnet to cut siren wiring and notice it.

I certainly wouldn't rely on that.

[RBMunkie]

Concealed Hydro Handbrake.

They can't find the button without ripping apart the whole car.


Can't drive it while it's locked up in the rear.
All the revving wakes you up.

Pretty simple really...

[RBMunkie]

That Hydro setup is for anti-theft only.
Not like a drift hydro locker.. lol
