Dogs seem to be a good theft deterrent if they are good at telling when someone is near the house too. Our dog goes nuts whenever someone comes in the driveway or whenever theres someone unknown to him around.

I'm sad to say it but police don't seem to care these days much unless its going to get them money. We have had several times at work when the cops just don't turn up for 4 hours plus.

That said i hope you get your car back or insurance payout, or atleast get justice for this and the f*%^ers that did this get put in jail and raped by their cell mate

man, that is terrible. I really to feel for you. but seriously you parked a GTR on the street without any form of security. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. I'm sure you had planned to put in an alarm/immobiliser but that should be the first thing you do, and if you can't get it straight away park it in a garage, take out the battery, take out the fuses and sleep with one eye open. I know I would.

Mate, I honestly hope you get it back.

haha even with alarm etc on my car i still cant sleep at night.. tiz not good!

but on the note of this stolen car./ it seems to happen alot around inner city!! very sad indeed!

keep your eyes open on ebay, etc for parts wheels etc going off your car.

good luck and i hope it turns up!!

two things will help you sleep soundly.

1. A lock up garage

2. full comprehensive insurance.

if you don't have both of those I can understand why the restless nights.

this thread just gave me the same sick in the stomach feeling when I saw my empty parking spot a month or so back.

I don't know about you guys but I am certain these are no random thefts.

I am extremely close to getting a printout of all the recent car thefts... which have all been sydney by the way, and try to speak to a detective at a cop shop.

As if this isn't just like it was a few years back now when they went and did raids and found shit loads of stolen cars and parts...

I've had enough...

I'm gonna ***ing do it.

I'm gonna try to get someone to take a serious look into all this instead of giving me the "don't expect to get it back in one piece" bullshit I was told when they came to see me 4 hours after I reported my loss.

That's horrible... I remember when my car arrived I was totally paranoid.. and I live in a good suburb in Melbourne. That totally sucks mate and I hope beyond hope that you can get ya car back! I hate reading about all these skylines being stolen ;).

Whoever stole it is very likely to ditch the rego plates.

How about posting the VIN number or any other relevant numbers? If people are offered an engine (or your car) for sale, they might search the net, or even this site, and match the numbers.

I know how I'd feel in your situation.

I agree - dogs are an awesome deterent. I dont live in a capital city though - when the locals try and steal a car around here that doesn't have the keys in the ignition it is to hard for them, so they just vandilise insted.

Another bonus of living out here "in the sticks", an r33 doesn't mean much to the average joe blow, they would perfer a HSV.

this happens every week or so..its sad to think that you cant even have a nice car, or house without having to spend thousands on security. :P

good luck..

yeep, my parents live out of town and the house is left unlocked most of the time. if someones gonna make the effort to come out and rack something, then there an idiot :D there a low life from the moment they decide to steal someone elses belongings. plus they have some good neighbors..

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
