when i got out to my car after uni today the drivers door lock was sitting on the ground beside the car
some bastard stuck a screw driver into it and ripped it straight out of the door.
*thanks god for his Immobiliser*
bastards......
at least they didn't steal the stereo....
 
Poor bastard :(

So what did they steal?

You might remember the break in to my van. They returned last Wednesday night for another go but this time the alarm warning chirps scared them off. If someone goes near the back window now, the alarm gives 2 chirps.
They triggered it twice, we woke up to the sound of an engine idling out the front & then the car (think it was a hotted up Gemini) screamed off up & around the corner.
Now I take 5 minutes every night to set both cars up so they are safe. I have also installed another motion detection flood light right near the van.
What a great place Sydney is disappro
 
they didn't manage to steal anything out of the car...from what i can see they tried to start it, but couldn't get past the immobiliser, so they called it a day. I never thought my car (Citreon Bx19GT) would be a target. Ah well...

Dave,

Does it have an aussiefrogs sticker? I know gibgibs does - maybe this is what they're after :confused: Let's face it, no one ever steals a Citroen for one obvious reason; ever tried to sell one? :D :D

Actualy,

a BX19GT would make a 'fun' car to trash, cause that's all they'd do with it, trash it through the bush... Then again it could have just been someone after a free ride home (you then find the car undamaged a few blocks from the offenders house).

Gibgib, hearing your stories brings back memories of plans to fit big caps out of old TV's and computer moniters to my CX. Next person that tried to break in would be in for a hell of a shock eek! eek! eek! eek! My car used to regualy have wankers trying to break into it, never did catch the b@st@rds though (they'd have been very, very, very sorry... Me call the cops??? Never evil )

Remember my father & I went the the Auctions once cause they had a CX2500Gti 5spd up in the damaged section. Thinking it's something we 'may' be able to fix if the price was right we had a look. **EVERY** panel was kicked in, the spoilers smashed off, interior trashed, motor blown (they must've sat a brick on the accelerator pedal to destroy a CX motor) etc... Basicly there wasn't much on the car worth buying it for. It sold for quite a lot of money, leaving us both stunned :rolleyes:

Melbourne's not much better....

Couple years ago some drugies, hoons etc smashed the two passenger windows on my Fuego to steal 2 jackets my friend had left in the backseat....couldve maybe got $10 each at pawn shop. Thats not the worst....they also took my leather gearknob. But they didnt take the whole knob, their twisted understanding of gearknobs lead them to cut around the leather base of the gearknob, only taking a useless leather skin!!! The steel base of the knob was still sitting on my gearstick.....Half-brainers!!!

Tip: Always park at car park when going to crown casino!!!
 
I also am in Melbourne, and I used to work a nightshift taking phonecalls just off King St. My car had been broken into a day or two before, window smashed, only change taken. I hadn't had time to put the window back in, and it just had carboard taped over the hole.
Anyway I finished my shift at Midnight, get down to my car and find the interior light on and the drivers door unlocked, and ajar. Now this was a bit of a surprise, but what was worse was when I opened the door I found the junky who had broken into it. He had been going through the glovebox when he had fallen asleep, face down in all the stuff he had pulled from the glovebox. (not my precious tapes!)
I hadn't had a good night at work (tech support is _the_ worst job) So I was a little rough in removing him from the car. I was also quite vocal. Scared the hell out of the folks waiting to get into some club over the street.
Anyway he staggered off, only to return a few minutes later as I was finished cleaning up, to ask if someone had broken into my car, and where was the station. (He had forgotten already... :( )
Just sold that car (ET turbo) to make way for a 205gti... can't wait to get it... :)
 
I probably had an experience that everybody either dreams or has nightmares about.
Back in the days when Empire Speedways ran the action at the Brisbane Exhibition Grounds, we left a bit early one night for some reason. As I got closer to my car (which fortunately was a company car) my mate pointed to someone near the front acting suspiciously. A closer look revealed that he was in the process of breaking the emblem off the bonnet & he was so intent on his work he didn't see us approaching. I said to the rest to keep quiet as I stooped down and ran along the roadside & popped up when at the rear of the car; he look startled & started to run not knowing that I was playing a lot of sport at the time (including soccer) & was in pretty good nick. I started to overhaul him & in full flight let drive with the right boot - square up the qoit. I reckon I lifted him about a metre in the air; don't think that was the power of the kick, more the location :rolleyes: I was a bit off target and hit a bit further forward than planned eek! eek! Down he went like the big sack of S ugar H oney I ced T ea he was. I felt so sorry for him and he was really in pain, that I gave him another while he was on the ground. At least I dragged him off the road so nobody would run over him; would have been a pity to see someone spoil their nice paintwork on a scumbag like that :p :p

Maybe its all in the paint job??

Picture 3 cars, all in the same will lit street:
'81 Laser + Bugger all
'84 505 STi +CD +Computers x 2
'95 Commodore Wagon +CD +Expensive Tools

Which would you break into??
Yes the crummydore and if your scared of the security, the 505 , right! (its goddam EASY as my mates taught me).

But no he selected door number 1 the laser

We caught the guy, and we asked "why the laser??" (as the coppers plodded to the scene) His excuse was the 505 had a very bad paint job (no comment), the commodore had bubbling of the paint and streaks (the remains of an old ex's revenge with paint thinner. evil )But wait for it..........

He thought the Laser as it had the best paint job (nice and shiney :rolleyes: )would have the best stuff inside.(obviously a car buff) :rolleyes:

At this point we almost felt sorry for the poor bugger, but we got him arrested anyway. approve

Strange but true.
