Scrote City...Watch yourself and you car.

[Guest Rhino]

Well I just had a unpleasant experience.

Sitting at the computer checking the forums at about 1:30am I look over and notice the side flywire door is open a bit. Remembering I had just gone out about 5mins ago and put some cans in the recycling bin I thought it was a bit strange for me to leave the door open. I get up and go to close the door but for some reason my spidey sense is tingling and I step outside. As soon as my first foor hits the pavement outside the door an almighty bang and flash goes off, I'm like WTF then I notice a shadow at the drivers side door of my GTR on the other side of the fence. I move towards the fence and the shadow moves, I say "You right C*NT?!!!" and the guy standing next to my car on the other side of the fence bolts up the driveway and onto the road. Because of the locked gate I have to go inside and out the front door to catch up to the scrote but by the time I have grabbed my burglar 'pacifier' he's bolting down the street albeit without shoes which are on the road 2 houses up the street from my house.

I grab his shoes (which are nikes by the way) and continue up the street a bit before giving up and going home.

I then go around the side (after checking the car of course ) and notice that the c*nt had thrown a dirty great big firecracker at me the moment I walked out the door (hence the big bang and flash) in order to either injure me or scare me into not following him. This thing has blown a hole in some garden pots made of strong plastic 2-3mm thick, I can only imagine what would've happened if he had hit me!

Looking at the evidence this guy jumped our side fence, cut a length of the flywire door in order to undo the lock I had put on it after putting the cans in the recycling bin, then walzed on it and started to look for my keys and any easy cash. He couldn't get my keys but he got an old purse of Mum's that only had old cards in it (her buglar decoy ) and then gone outside and thrown the useless purse away when he heard me coming into the family room. He's then jumped back over the side fence and thrown the firecracker at me as I come outside, waiting by my car to watch the mayhem.

As it happens I was in hero mood so the effect that the firecracker could've had on my body was only realised after I had finished chasing him and seen the damage to the pots.

Anyway to finish off I call the police and after they take the details and the shoes they leave promising to do some patrols but not expecting much.

And I get to spend the rest of the wee hours of the morning in the loungeroom waiting to see if he returns to collect his shoes.

Looking out for barefoot, firecracker hurling lowlifes....

bloody h3ll, that sucks big time.

good to hear your ok and there's no damage to the 'line.

this sort of sh1t makes me wanna buy a gun, or a crossbow, or a bl00dy siege weapon.

shame you didn't catch the prick, deserves to have his head caved in.

stay safe.

[skyzerr33]

Glad your OK Rhino, hopefully those bastards won't come back again. I have a sensor light over my car, but I still get up in the middle of the night at the mearest noise from that direction.

I recently invested in a new little 'toy', a tricked out Sonic auto****er paintball marker for 1 purpose only. Ever been hit by a paintball going 500fps?, thats almost twice the speed a paintball on the feilds goes (290fps), guarenteed to criple any ****er trying to get into my car

I also have a sensor above my car, and its locked behind a garage door. but still I dont feel that its safe.

Good to hear that the car & you are fine.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

memphis,

Good to see someone taking the vigilante approach, haha. If you hit them with that they will probably think that they are going to die, would teach them a serious lesson, not that I condone this sort of behaviour.

See'ya:burnout:

[Guest Rhino]

Cheers guys, the cops alluded to this sort of practise (not the firecracker bit) becoming very common. They also said that owning a car like ours is asking for trouble, what a sad sad world

This was in Willetton.

There was no way he was going to get my car as the keys are either on my person or within a foot of where I sleep at all times and the spares are very well hidden.

I'm just annoyed that this sort of incident ill probably never be resolved by the police.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

No, don't expect that the police will do much, there probably isn't much to go on anyway. Best to beef up security a bit, I'm thinking of rigging and alarm to my sensor light, so it wakes me if it goes off in the middle of the night.

It sucks that us and our cars aren't safe.

See'ya:burnout:

[Guest Rhino]

But man they got the shoes!!

All they gotta do is lets the dogs sniff it and if they don't loose their sense of smell....bam got the little scrote

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Lucky your spider senses were working that night, maybe you could have swung from the buildings after them.

Shoes, I don't think they will do much with them. You should have kept them.

See'ya:burnout:

[ix9]

it's times like these I can sit back and relax, knowing my car is safe in my garage.......

...protected by my secret weapon....(no, i wont say what it is, but it's VERY effective)

Eeek! I'm in Willetton. My neighbour's car was broken in just the other day (no grace or attempts to be quiet here - they just smashed the driver's side window!) and now I'm all paranoid, esp. with reports of that kinda thing going on. Grrrrr...

[deesh]

yeah, you should have kept the shoes, and ripped them to shreds, then hung them up on your letterbox displaying them for when they next drive past.

[Guest Rhino]

I am not worried about the car anymore as I have just implemented some more security measures that ensure that even if some crook gets the keys and alarm remote the car aint going anywhere except on the back of a flatbed truck.

I am more worried that he wanted the car soo much that he was prepared to break into an occupied house at night to get it. These situations can escallate very quickly.

THINK they are gonna die? hehe. I will keep going till they are dead if they hurt my car.

Although I am currently looking for a new alarm for my car, I just got called home this morning cos someone broke into my house and stole my car stereo that I removed from my old car, they left the big screen tv, dvd player etc and took my car stereo!

Scares the hell outta ya.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

It's rediculous the lengths we have to go to to protect our property. If there were tougher penalties, like death, then we wouldn't have these issues. Has any ever used a kill switch in there car, so that no matter what the crook ain't going no where?

I love the new '03 wrx security, if you undo ya seatbelt while driving (say hijack?), the car runs for 1 min then cuts out and u need to enter a pin code into the numberpad to start it again, has tracking etc, farking nice. The car is okay also i guess

[MrGTST]

Yeah.... There is nothiing the little b@rst@rds wont do these days.... About two years ago when I owned my VL turbo I woke up one morning to find my car broken into, stereo stolen and whole steering column stripped down ( good thing I invested in very good alarm ) and the car is parked right up against the house... I was furious....

After that my mothers VS commodore was ALWAYS parked behind my car to avoid it being stolen in the future ( You need the key to start )....

Two weeks later... 4am .... We are woken up by the sound of my mums car alarm going off.....dad looked out the window to find a guy getting into it, he chased them from the front door and they just took off in my mums car.... I got in my car and pursued, but by the time I got a couple of streets away after them I just found my mums car dumped on the side of the road...

Basically they came round the back of our house, broke in the back door.... went through to the kitchen, took the keys to my mums car and everything else of value they could find... went back around to the front, were in the process of moving my mums car with the keys ( luckily he didnt turn the alarm off first though ) when the botched it and set the alarm off, in order to move my mums car to try to steal mine for a second time..... There were about three of them too, they had a get away car across the road.... very organised.... I was just lucky they botched moving my mums car....

Needless to say our security at hoime now reseamble Fort Knox.... I am also another person who refuses to sleep more than a metre away from my keys....
