Is this a bit of a worry? Encouraging thieves...

[rs73]

With the recent stolen cars around, esp Skylines, and other hi-po cars used in ram raids crimes, is this a bit of a worry?

I know maybe the buyer could be a legitimate locksmith, but what if someone who plans to organise a large car pinching operation?

Just a thought...

Yeah....I saw this on EBAY the other day...NOT GOOD

[rs73]

I checked the eBay again, and the item is no longer there... maybe cancelled by eBay?? Anyhow, I think selling lock picking equipment (particularly for hi-po cars) to general public are a bit dodgy.

it isnt there anymore...whats the story?

lock picking equipment for which car?

[rs73]

The seller said the "lock jiggler" equipment will open japanese cars like Nissan & Toyota INCLUDING Skylines, 180SX, Supra, MR2....

You name it, any performance imports was listed... I hope it never falls into the wrong hand, especially after a few ram raids in NSW and other states involving stolen cars.....

Wouldn't that kind of auction encourage would-be-car-thieves to buy it and try out their skills??? Since if anyone buys anything on eBay, there's no way to track it or to be sure what the buyer's purpose or motives are.

where i used to work at a mechanics, trucks used to come around selling tools. anyhow one day a truck came around with this long metal ruler look like with an anchore thing on the end of it, basically a flat hook going in both directions(like an anchore) and this was for breaking into cars. One of the guys bought it and tested it out on a taxi which we were fixing and yep! enough said, these have been around for a long time..im not sure how they can get away with making and selling them?
