Pulse Performance (newcastle) broken into

[ER3498GTT]

On Tuesday night at some stage Pulse Performance in Newcastle was broken into. Unfortunately for me, my R34 was in their workshop .....I was informed today that my 2 x HKS 2530's, Stainless manifolds and X-force stainless dumps were some of the items stolen.

If anyone should come across someone selling a cheap set of any of the above pls beware...and if they haveany any info please pm me or contact the local Police. Thanks to these bastards my RB26 conversion has taken a nice step backward.

[d-d]

Damn thats not good to hear

If i run into anything locally thats similar to those stolen parts ill let you know. Hope you can catch them and lock the stooges away man... :chairshot

[boj01]

Thats harsh Don, likely to be the germs that broke into the Toyshop maybe?

[monkeykplunk]

do those sort of things come under the workshops insurance?

Or are you just out of pocket now?

Very sad and gutless thing for someone to do.

Don't forget to keep a look out on ebay and some other auction sites as well.

Good luck with it all.

Surely this is covered by insurance. It would be outrageous for Pulse to leave you high and dry!?

Sad new Don, hope it is all resolved painlessly. If they (Pulse) stuff around, perhaps consider legal action. Otherwise it is like having money deducted from your bank account because the ANZ branch was robbed...

[ER3498GTT]

The worst thing is...this stuff took ages to save for and collect the right parts at right time....the whole thing sucks!

It smacks hard of an inside job fellas....alot of things dont add up? But hey if u hear anything let me know...i mean...not many in newy with RB26's and those parts will stand out...thats if they even if they still in the newy area...

attached is a couple of pics...of what was once there....*fingers crossed they attach*

[boj01]

Didn't work Don. Wasn't Luke away in QLD last week? As well, I heard that they had closed down again and were only taking on large jobs, one at a time?

[ULOOOK]

Poor Don. I'm so sorry to hear, I know it's heartbreaking when ****wits ruin all your hard work. Maybe our poor little lines are destined to be off the road forever

You sy they you handed the parts and the car to them all together, Here is a tale you can relate to then.

About 3 years ago my brother near new WRX was in a workshop in sydney. It already had apexi front mount, apexi turbo, power fc, coilovers the list goes on. He then went and bought a new trust t67 kit, injectors, twin plate clutch, trust intercooler, about another 14k. All this new gear was sitting in the boot, he handed his car to the workshop and surprise surprise it went missing that night. He found out over 36 hours later and not even from the shop it was the police who called him.

My brothers insurance checked the premises themselves and paid for the car but not the parts - fair enough. We later found out that the keys to my brothers car were not locked up as the shop could not provide the keys.

Cut a long story short it went to court, the shop owner never fronted so they ruled in my brothers favour but no one knows were this guy is so no recourse can be taken.

Lesson to learn people - if your doing a buil up only give the shop the parts as required!

Hope you have better luck being reimbursed by Pulse performance as they have a duty of care to their client (you) when they accept your vehicle as a job / car to work on. They make their money buy working on cars therefore it is up to them to make sure these cars / parts are safe whilst in their care.

That sucks hard...

No wonder that SAU'ers try and do as much work as possible themselves..... I dont like leaving my car overnight in a workshop - but as previously mentioned, it should come under the workshops insurance.

Well If the thieves knew what they were after - surely they would have also taken diagnostic equipment, tools. It does sound like a inside job.

Well, i tell you what is poor about this situation.

Apparently this happened on tuesday....i hear through a mate about it on friday? So i call them up and they say yeah they had an incident but nothing major just a smashed window...

then on saturday i get a call and am told that my parts are gone....how shitty is that??

So much harder for me to hit the ground running 4-5days later....

I remember that Rohin, what a shitter that was

[Beer Baron]

Most certainly the workshop is required to have insurance and their insurance should pay you for all your stuff stolen. still a shame, but if the workshop does the right thing you will get all of your money back.

[eXc]

that sux big time. Sounds like a continuation from the ToyShop breakin last month. They also stole bits for a rb26 - cams etc i think

I know all the shops I have been to have something like "all items left on premises are at own risk"

[ER3498GTT]

It seems like there has been a lot of break in's the area of late...and mainly stealing RB26 parts....

[d-d]

Someone is gonna have a beefed up (hot) rb26 runnin along the foreshore soon.

Sounds like it may be the same mob goin around as eXc says. Hopefulyl the police or someone can put an end to this crime soon.

Fortunately for consumers those type of disclaimers are (generally) worthless. Unless Don signed an agreement or contract when he dropped of his car and parts there shouldn't be any problems.

For example, just because a workshop has a sign stating "Vehicles not collected within 7 days of completion of work become property of ABC Pty Ltd" doesn't mean the company can legally do it.

I had a look through the Trade Practices Act and the NSW Fair Trading Act but neither of them cover security of goods owned by a third party.

Chris mate I hope I don't sound rude, just wanted to let guys breathe a little easier.

Once again I encourage anyone involved in this sort of situation to seek legal assistance. It may cost a few hundred dollars just for a guy to write a letter of demand to a workshop, but it could save a lot of hassle, it lets the workshop know you are serious and you will increase the likelihood of being reimbursed a hundredfold.

it sounds like some one who works there might have done it, why would any one who broke in just steal two turbos?

[boj01]

Why would anyone go to the trouble of lifting out a 1.5m x 4m pane of glass from the Toyshop Imports shop front, lean it gently against the wall without breaking it, then proceed to steal 4 BOV's and some empty boxes?

Newcastle doesn't have the smartest criminals. The person who broke into the Toyshop the second time was caught and charged because his car was seen in the area 10 minutes before the break - in. He also took a stolen BOV to a local performance workshop and asked for it to be fitted!

Some people will go to extraordinary lengths to get what they want unlawfully, but in Don's case, I would suggest that someone has scoped out the workshop before the break - in and it wasn't just willy nilly.

So what was the resolution? What did pulse do? Luke & Josh seemed like good fellas when I delt with them getting a dyno tune, hope they didn't sh!t on ya.
