Veilside R33 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hey guys, i've been online for to long so i'll keep this short. My Father just informed me that 2 youngish guys (mid 20's) came to my house today saying they were from "Western Electricity" (they had jackets with that logo on them) My father asked for ID but they said they did'nt have any on them (highly illegal not to carry ID when representing a business and coming to someones property) They then asked how many people lived at the property, my dumbass dad told them, then they asked if the statesman out the front was his? for some unknown reason he didnt tell them to get the hell off the property and said "Yes it is" then they asked what kind of car his son (me) drives, he then told them it was "one of those sporty things". I cant for the life of me fathom why alarm bells did'nt trigger with him, but he was kind enough to give them all that info. Then they left........ Now alarm bells rang with me immediately as i've recently given quite a few people my address to come and see the car, that hav'nt turned up. As soon as he told me (only a few minutes ago) I checked the phone books for "Western Electricity" ....surprise surprise, they wer'nt there. I called directory assistance and they have no listing of the company either.....now can someone tell me why an allegedly large electricity company (that i've never heard of mind you) has absolutely no way of being able to be contacted? Has anyone ever heard of this company? and if so, get me their damn number and i'll be abusing the hell out of them. Although i'll check 1st to see if they had anyone come to my area. Just a warning to everyone out there, that i beleive 70% that these guys were there to plan on stealing my car, and if anyone can help me out with any info on the alleged company i'd greatly appreciate it.

gtir_94 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Im pretty sure there is only the two electrcity companies in the region. Southern, and ACTEW. Id report it to the police. If they claim they cant do anything. They can still record your complain in writing. At least its on the books.

NJR 34GTT Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Energy Australia are currently doing door knocking in the ACT. Not sure if it was possibly some of these guys? Although wouldn't explain why they were asking about the cars nor the lack of identification. Girl that was at my door had clear identification though.

Veilside R33 Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 wow, thanks alot Luke! It should be all good at my place, i've gone into lock down mode and its now very very secure, for those of you that have seen where i park it you'll know just how hard it is to walk past...let alone steal. But i've now taken even more measures to secure it. Thats not to say its theft proof, but it'd be damn hard.

Veilside R33 Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 I called Ecowise, and got put straight through to a manager named Mick, he was REALLY concerned but very helpful. As my father was the only one that saw them, Mick asked that my Father call him back, they have photos of many current and previous employees and its quite likely that if thats the case then my dad can identify them. I'll get back to you all asap.

Stevie Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 What the hell was your dad thinking? I wouldnt be at all suprised to hear about an attempt (succesful or not) to steal your car in the next week or so. I think you left out a really important question, why would they want to know about the cars? Why? Is that all they asked about? Again I refer to the top of my post...
