sharpgfx8686 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Within a fully secure underground complex car park some prick has used what looks like a pick and hammer to try bust my lock out or a screwdriver. They never got into my car but the lock is completely totally destroyed. I have an alarm, immobiliser and steering wheel lock that is always in a hard-lock position when parked. Is there any way i can just replace the key hole with a metal plate or replace with a keyless entry door handle? This is the 3rd time - 1st in Newcastle, 2nd in Brisbane, 3rd now in Melbourne someone has tried to break the key/lock to get into my car.. Anyone got suggestions? Otherwise im over this car im selling it next week..

Downforce Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Unless it was your own personal lock up garage that only you have the remote/key for, I wouldn't assume it's "fully secure"... even if you had your own garage, nothing is ever secure. Anyone who can gain entry to the basement car park can physically get to your car.

sharpgfx8686 Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 R33 yeah. Since i have alarm, immobiliser and steering lock fitted ive just removed the barrel key lock from the handle, covered it with a metal plate, painted it same colour as car. Only way they can get in now is smashing window or stealing my keys.. Hate these maggots.

Borci88 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Just FYI you don't need to smash the window to get into an R33. The windows have enough flex in them to pry away and get a coat hanger in there to flick the lock. It's how my previous 33 was stolen, and also how RACV get in when keys are locked inside.

Downforce Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 wow.... that's no longer opportunistic dude, that's targeted at your car... I would either sell it or move it to a new location. Does your 'secure' carpark have CCTV? Have they audited the swipe access at all entry and egress points?

PranK Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 ^^^ Good one mate now it's everyone's information. Hell of a lot of captains about to set sail!! Old news. You can sometimes tell if an R33 has been broken into because the metal/trim above the window is creased from being pried open.
