Thieves!!!!

[Monster8]

Last night at about 11pm i came back to the sydney burwood westfields carpark to find that my monaro had been broken into and all four wheels removed, leaving my pride and joy proped up on two bricks.
these morons even went as far as stealling the two rear bucket seats and the glove box.
they sprayed some sort of acrylic around the window (before smashing it in) and sprayed some of the interior. the police believe it was to mask their fingerprints.
:mad:
the coppers said it appeared to be a professional job, although i fail to see how these low life pieces of crap can be discussed with any association to being professional.
about a year ago another of my mates had the same thing happen in the same car park and westfield was supposed to clean up their act. but im not going to hold them completely responsible for the actions of a select group of social misfits.
:cussing:
im sick of people thinking that they can go around stealing other peoples hard earned property.
so im offering a very large reward to any sydney siders that can provide any information as to who was responsible for the theft.
once again; it occured around 9-11pm at burwood westfields lower car park on the 18th of july on a navy blue vy monaro series 3.
don't protect these scum. think of the money you can pocket for yourself.

[Firebug]

Sorry to hear mate. I do hope your quest to find your car assaulting scum goes smoothly. Give em one from me... :box:

[Veeate]

Farking carnts. Good luck with finding them and bringing them to justice and getting your car back on the road.

[bok1]

I hope you catch the pr#$@s and they get what is coming to them.

[SSJB]

Bastards.
Do you deadlock your car?. If not please don't take this as a reproach. I'm curious as I've had a VS stolen and the deadlocking on my VX was a factor in the purchasing descision.So if they got past the deadlocks to get your seats I'd like to know.
Since the VS went a creep did smash my VX drivers window at work one evening ,but walked away when he didn't fancy climbing in through the window. I saw him dissappearing out the drive.

[CarlFST60L]

Low life asssss holes!

Good alarm and a tilt sensor might be worth the investment

[XR4TED]

Monster8,

That is f#$#@d to hear. I park there all the time too. I will PM you the details of my alarm/tracking system if you want to go down that path. Hopefully the monroe will be back bigger and better.

Cheers

Darren

[vt350phantom]

Thats some f**ked up s**t indeed!

[Monster8]

Yeah it baffles me how they managed to get the seats out cause the car was dead locked.
I think im going to have to defnitely improve the security system. mayb a pair of gatling guns on each side might do the job.

[SiLENCE]

why not get on to a taxi company and see who supplies their closed circuit camera systems.. Would at least give you a pic of the bastard's faces, and it also looks quite discreet in the interior (sitting just above the rear view mirror)

[Nemisis]

Remember guys. If ever you catch these bottom feeders of this society you may use whatever force is required to affect and sustain the arrest. Whatever that force maybe. Just ensure that they had a screwdriver in their hand and you were fearful for your life;) Nothing like a good flogging as a deterance factor.

Regards
Karl

[phat-dave]

how on earth does one semi strip a brand new car in a public car park and apparently no one saw a thing... unbelievable :argue:

wouldnt someone wonder why it was sitting on bricks and call security???

[fordy68]

Mate I feel for you. This is one the biggest 'bug bears' that i have with society today - the lack of respect for people's property. And the thing about this is that the judicial system is so weak when it comes to handing down punishment, not to mention the fact that catching the sods is near impossible due to lack of resources. Some people just lack respect and it annoys the hell out of me.The feeling of frustration and helplessness in these situations is the hardest thing to overcome. I think the only solace you can take from this is that those stinkers are the ones that have the real problems and that one day you would hope thatt things turn the full circle.

Bets of luck getting the repairs done.

[seedyrom]

Ahhhhh ... Burwood Westfields :rocket:

These are of another forum members car at Burwood Westfields. Hope you dont mind me publishing them.

He parked it, went in to see a movie, and came straight out to find that.

And yes, management and the Police do know of the CONSTANT organised theft going on.
Makes you wonder why nothing is done.
Makes one think it might be orchestrated with security ... whooops ... did I say that out aloud ? :doh:



Sorry to hear about your Monaro ... expect a PM soon

A tip for everyone ... DO NOT PARK AT BURWOOD WESTFIELDS!!! - the same gang is also known to operate in the Macquarie Centre Car Park

[nudenut]

On the plus side - these wankers are taking the risk of getting caught for what? - a few hundred bucks they might get for the wheels? They must have a really shit life. We can only hope so. Sorry to hear about this, I hope it's sorted straight away for you with as little hassle as possible.

[Bogan]

f***! i feel for you mate. those lifeless carnts shuld be in jail!!!

[an-D]

Definatly someone would've seen something, i mean people putting 4 wheels and seats into a van or something would seriously be a bit suss?

Thats one of the things i cant stand to see dude.. makes me feel sick.. hope you get everything sorted!

[throttlehappy]

Yeah it baffles me how they managed to get the seats out cause the car was dead locked.

or that mechanical arm off robocop that swings out from under your car and crushes the guys balls. f*ck i hate theives!!!

[12 inch man]

can i make a suggestion?
why dont a few members go down to westfeild and use a "bait car" and you can sit back in the darkness and catch these guys in the act ..... just make sure there is a few of you

Sorry to hear it mate. Things like these definately feels like being kicked in the nuts... and the pocket, not to mention all the bs that goes through while making a claim. Would be sweet for many of us to get our hands on these low life scums thats for sure. anyway mate, i do hope that it works out for you.

Cheers... :D

[JHP1]

The thing I always think of when I read a story like this is who's buying this stuff if people didnt buy dodgy parts etc from these lowlifes then there wouldnt be a market for it and then there wouldnt be the thefts. Feel for you mate have had my shed done over a while ago leaves you feeling violated thats for sure. I did catch the little stain that stole my motorbike though the dips#it rode it past my house two days later nearly ran him over in my ute tring to get him. Caught him and gave him a couple for his trouble 16 yrs old got a smack and sent on his way bast$rd. Cops told me they new him and his parents guess the disrespect is bred into them you know how its everyone elses fault they dont have a nice car etc so they think they deserve someone elses property C%NTS is what they are!

[vx Sammy]

It pisses you off when you see something you work so hard for violated by obviously someone who has no respect for anyone else. I hope if you catch them you f*** them up.... avoid the justice system as all they will get is a slap on the wrist! :vpo:

[LSavvy]

Sorry to hear about your pride and joy being violated, just thought to let people know that at Westfield Eastgardens low lifes are also keying nice cars for being that (jelous lowlifes with nothing better to do).
If westfields/police know about this maybe its time they looked at improving security with CCTV and patrols, after all they make millions from us visiting them.
Hope you have luck finding them, im also of the impression a bait car would be useful to catch these scumbags.

[Monster8]

The bait car idea definately sounds like the way to go. although if i got my hands on these little shits they wouldnt have any hands or feet to steal anything ever again.
i wish the the police would take the initiative and set up a sting themselves, as this has been happening for a while now. the tow truck driver told me last night that a skyline had been stripped in almost exactly the same spot 6 months ago.
and would it really break westfield's bank to put a couple of security cameras in.

[LSONE]

Really feel for you mate, the bait idea sounds very promisong especially if this thing is happening on a regular basis. I used to own a VL Calais turbo and used to shat myself everytime I left it alone, this was 1 reason for pissing it off and buying Monaro, hope these cars don't become a wanted item. Have a look around in your area for seats and wheels for sale. Crooks aren't smart and often blinded by $$$$. Good Luck and hope your baby returns in full force.

[pah]

The lesson for Sydney LS1 drivers is AVOID BURWOOD LIKE THE PLAGUE!!

What are the Burwood cops doing about this?? Not very much it would seem.

Whilst working for a previous employer, guys with leased SS's had the wheels & tyres knocked off in the Co carp park at Burwood.

This has been going on for years. Where are the wheels being sold? It's a fair bet that they're turning up in one of the well known advertising mediums.

Given the number of offences that obviously must be reported to the local cops, I find it hard to comprehend why they haven't cracked down on the culprits.

One very sensible step surely must be to dump the standard locking nuts and get the locking nut key that is kept on the key ring. Are the thieves breaking the locking nuts or are they finding the locking nut key? I bet it's the latter.

This issue ought to be raised with the local member for the area in an effort to kick start a little bit of legal enforcement. We're paying for this in insurance premiums because these guys are not shut down.





PAH

[vt350phantom]

I'm sure glad I moved outta the Burwood area a few years ago, things seem pretty bad there now

[chook]

And the thing about this is that the judicial system is so weak when it comes to handing down punishment, not to mention the fact that catching the sods is near impossible due to lack of resources.
Fordy, Lack of resources !!!!! There too interested using Radars,
and installing speed cameras and catching the real scum of the earth, the motorist!

I agree, what Judicial System, it's sucks!

[Monster8]

That is so true. we cop the biggest attitude and lectures from the police when we give our cars a little bit of a hit and exceed the stupid 50kmph suburban zones. the way they act you would think you'd just gone on a murderous rampage.
however when it comes to the real crooks they just shrug their shoulders and say there's nothing they can do. i don't know what they're afraid of, maybe it's just a little too much of a challenge for their simple minds or too much paper work for their poor little hands to fill out.
i think it's about time they get their priorities right and go after the real menaces of society!:flamin:

[ShanghaiVZ]

We need India's law against theives, if they are caught hands are chopped off :D, funny India's theft rate is virutally non existent. And that white SS looks like NickS's SS? :confused:

Chook, I couldnt agree more. It seems the agency designed 'to serve and protect' has an agenda that is more concerned with revenue raising.

[csv rulz]

when my dad bought his VX ss i was sitting in waiting for him to come out of safeway, and a car stopped in front of it then some guys hooped out and snuck up to the car, they couldnt see me coz the car had tinted windows. i locked the doors as they came up at the last moment they noticed me ducked and ran off to there car, i got the rego tho.

The cops said nothing they could do because he was an indeginous australian.

And this was in the country out at Lakes Entrance.

[HSVDKB]

After having the clubby broken into twice in the last two months in Christchurch (smashed drivers window each time), I really like the idea of a bait car. The police politely took my reports but we all know no action will be taken to stop these low lifes as there is a quota of traffic tickets to maintain. A baseball bat swung forcefully at the kneecap seems to be the best course of action.

[csv rulz]

i know its no where near as bad but i got my $1500 phone stollen from work and i new who it was but the police wouldnt do a thing, so i found out this guys number and my dad rang him pretending to be the cops and saying if it was just returned no charges would be pressed coz we had proof it was him. 30min later my phone was dropped into the cop shop. The dic*head who stole my phone left all of his numbers on it as well as pictures of hime smoking joint.

the only thing cops are good for is revenue raising.

Why stop at the kneecap when you could work your way to their head!!!!

[Merlin]

Must be a lot of people getting their cars broken into at Westfield Burwood - the talk back AM station I was listening to on the way home had a full segemnt on the "countrys worst car park for theives"

the one with the wheels gone is a series one. nicks is series 2 i think.

[Firebug]

And that white SS looks like NickS's SS? :confused:
It looks like MY fuggen SS. Those pics sent shivers down my spine!! :shock:

[HardcoreLS1]

A few of you have mentioned deadlocking your car, unfortunetly it doesn't help as it takes about 15-20 seconds to unlock a "deadlocked car". Just make sure your insurance is paid up.

[joeboss]

The local cops are having trouble just manning the first response in that patrol due to lack of numbers, so I wouldn't go off at them.

I used to work at Burwood a few years back in security and there were not many cameras then and I don't think there would be many more.

[jerrel]

lol, i hope some one steels my wheels, the have lots of gutter rash, i wouldnt mind getting some new ones supplied to me!

[Super Snake]

I have friends who live in Concord, and I myself have been to the Shopping Centre on many of occasions. It is just a very busy place, most people are too busy to even see what is going around. Even in Melbourne, there are some shopping centres that I would not go due to morons just hanging around and waiting for an opportunity.

[Elite SS]

For one most people don't want to get involved, second what do you expect for a $14 an hour security service, I suppose they don't want to get involved
either....:hide:

[QUOTE=Super Snake there are some shopping centres that I would not go due to morons just hanging around and waiting for an opportunity.[/QUOTE]


I've spent some time as Security in Westfields, My self and my Colleages have never had to deal with something like this,only due to any large group is dispersed into smaller groups or asked to leave the premises...they usually comply and if they don't we just move them on...no "if's" or But's"
Well at least I know were not to park my car.

[kochty]

Sorry to hear dude

i hope you catch the mongrels :flamin:

Yep i have heard the same thing re: security being in on it - i don't know how true that is but i have heard it many times regarding Burwood Westfields .
Very sorry to hear about your Monaro mate .:flamin:

[Animal]

Chook, I couldnt agree more. It seems the agency designed 'to serve and protect' has an agenda that is more concerned with revenue raising.

One of the best quotes I have seen for ages

[joeboss]

Westfield Burwood did have a problem 3- 4 years ago with a few guards breaking into shops and even holding up a convience shop on Burwood Road, but that was a long time ago with a different security company.

[Milo]

Sorry to hear it mate, I hope you find the little bastards and snap a finger or to.

On another note I deal with attacks like this on cars every week so if you want info on what to do reguarding insurance etc send me a PM and ill help out where i can

Cheers

[Tron2004]

When I read about this sorta thing, I start thinking about an alarm system that incorporates tilt sensors that not only sounds an alarm but also calls your mobile.
There must be something out there like this, but I spose like most things in life, it all depends on how much $$'s you throw at it.

yeh its called quiktrak

cost about $1200 for the installation and 350 a year for security monitoring or 150 if you dont want 24hr7days watch..

i have it in my car. Big quik trak card in the front window, nobody will much around with your car then if they see a quik trak card. It has tilt sensors and glass smashing sensors, vibration sensors etc etc

or if you want to be a tight arse print out a quiktrak card laminate it and display it in your window..... i am sure no theives would touch it..

google quiktrak they have a well informed website

if you want a copy of the card pm me your email and i will email it to you....

Most thieves won't touch "traked" cars (if it's known) ... but about all these tough guys online wanting to catch them ... when you see some of these "little theives" (around 14 - 17 years old) with a loaded 9mm tucked under the T, last thing I would want to do is try and be a hero by confronting them ... do you honestly believe these guys try hit a car half heartedly? (Fact that they're not too bright also makes them even more dangerous carrying something like a glock ... I know I've seen it happen.) ... If you see them, best thing to do is call the cops or make them aware from a distance you're onto them ... don't be trying to catch them ... your life is worth more than your rims or car!

[PLAYTM]

Not sure if this is of any help but recently on ebay 2 rear manaro buckets popped up for sale for a fairly cheap price... then they were gone like a couple of days later? What colour was ur interior champ?

[lease1]

Chook, I couldnt agree more. It seems the agency designed 'to serve and protect' has an agenda that is more concerned with revenue raising.

Yeah thats a good idea. Perhaps we could have like 5 to 10 cops in every shopping centre carpark waiting to catch someone stealing some wheels. Lets not worry bout the bank robbers or murderers or the guys out there beating up their missus after a night on the drink, the wheels are more important!

[Elite SS]

Thats a bit harsh...
I would be p**s**d off if some one took something of mine regardless of the value...The biggest problem is that these people haven't been caught..and due to most of them been first time offenders (first time caught) or under the age of 18 get away with a slap on wrist...that area has always been known as a magnet for hot cars...Unfortunately Westfields Burwood is in the lime light again...next time it will be a another shopping centre, with some other issue, car related or not, I just feel sorry for the people that go through this crap.

[Spectrum]

I feel for you. A couple of weeks ago I sold my beloved LX8 (xhaust, headers, edit) after it was broken into for the 4th time in the last 12 months, @ about 4:pm in the afternoon. And the guy who did it was caught on security camera: when I told the cops, she simply said " I'll make a note on your file just in case...!!!"

I now drive a NZ-spec VZ-SS (5.7 GENIII, not the Aussie 6.0 :mad: ...) which I'm about to mod with a replacement xhaust, over-radiator CAI, and edit.....might do MAFLESS if someone can convince me it'll be worth it...

I loved my LX8, but it just felt violated.....might get another one if I find one in good nick.

[vt350phantom]

What Bloody Planet are you off mate....:rolleyes: :weirdo:

Too much time watching American Movies...

[Tombo]

Sorry to hear about the car... I've had three tyres stabbed at Westfield Carousel in WA. First time two were punctured with a syringe and the other time one was stabbed with a knife. All were through the sidewall so $600 later... So now we don't park in their carpark, Cops were really helpful... NOT. Security were sympathetic but just said it happens all the time... Gee thanks... Nothing will change until it happens to a polititian IMO...

Cheers

PS. If you take the law into your own hands then you will see the law swing into action... The cops won't put up with competition that proves that they are not doing their job properly...

[Tron2004]

I was thinking that too!!

The first thing anyone is gonna do when they have been sprung doing something illegal and see someone running towards them is to hot tail it in the opposite direction.

Even though I agree with you 99 % it's not always the fact.

Not all theives run away ...if they are cornered or on some kind of drug they will react violently....
A few years back Security Guard in a Cabramatta carpark approached a Junkie trying to break into a car... the thief turned around and attacked the Security guard and was shot dead by the guard, and it was a Glock, the bloke died instantly...
BUT that doen't happen too often...especially here...
By the way that now Guard is a NSW Sheriff...

I personally never chase thieves...because you never know what your up against....it could be any thing from weapons, syranges, an expert in Martial Arts or even having more back up...never put yourself in a position where you can't get out of.

[Fabio's CV8]

Spewing dude. Did you just have the standard security in it? Any locknuts on the wheels? Im assuming you had the standard 18's ye?

[Glenn@Autowerks]

Talking thieves, I was at a course at Parramatta Tues to Fri, yesterday at lunchtime I felt something was wrong. Went to check on the clubbie...from a distance it looked fine, got closer and wtf, it had been de-badged.

Only minor compared to some in this thread but geez....

Better too if they didn't scratch it as well :bawl:

New badges now on order

[lsb05]

Sorry hear about that mate.The assholes need to be taught a lesson or two.YEAH where is the responsibility to the customer by the shopping centre management.?
Scary thought, gf asks ''when are we going to the movies in the clubby?''

Yeah really sorry man.

cheers

For what its worth, I used to hang out with a group of guys where one guy, who was always peaking, used to carry a loaded colt 45 around with him religiously.

I stopped hanging out with them when apparently one night I offended this guy whilst he was off his tree on speed and i'm told i was "lucky"

They are out there ... and its just a matter of crossing the wrong one.



Oh the horrid stories I could share.

[Elite SS]

Ok we are not talking about Big time crims...or some Lunatic who thinks he's John Wayne... Yes there are people out there carrying guns..I don't doubt that...these people or organised...not some punks that want Nice Rims or parts for their own cars...
In the 15 years of doing Security work in Clubs,Pubs, special events and Corporate VIP Security I have never dealt or searched someone and found more than a Knife or Prohibited Item on any person....
I have been involved in brawls in reagrds 50 people been involved,
I have also worked for Parramatta Leages,Peakhurst Inn, Revesby Roundhouse,The Barking Dog, and Many many more...and never heard of some of the crap that comes on these Forums...:thumbsup:

I wonder if that's the best thing to do?
Parking somewhere unnoticeable also means that it's out of view from joe public and could be just what ya average car / wheel thief would prefer.

I gree to a point, but as it has been posted , it appears that nobody wants to get involved any way, so if the theives don't notice your ride, less chance of having it stolen...

I have only had one attempt on some one breaking into my car and that was 4 years ago..the clown tried to break into the car with a coat hanger..I found it still stuck in my window when I got back to the car 15 minutes later...
A good alarm and lock nuts usually deters theives....
And for the TRACK SYSTEM THAT ONLY WORKS IF THE CAR IS STOLEN , and yeas they can contact the owner by phone , if they can be contacted. what happens when they remove the parts off the car while its still there...

it really is a fact, there are people out there with guns and alot of them are the druggies which as said makes it even more dangerous! i know what kind of things these type of "kids" carry so if you think your baseball bat and waiting around the corner business is gonna get you anywhere think again. i mean it could be just some little punk, in that case you'll get your revenge, or it could be someone alittle more serious and then your in trouble.
i do like the idea of a bait car and springing them in the act but i hope its the cops that do it ... they wont fight back in that case, just try 2 run and cops would have the area surrounded ... the very least it'll do is scary away the majority of the idiots into this game ...
best thing would be if you can avoid taking your car then do so, if you can get a mate to drive there not so flash car then they'd be doing you a favour

That's what it looks like i'm going to have to be reduced to, but its still sad that society has gone down this road where it believes that the best way to advance their standing is at the detriment of others.
If you like the wheels well F@#$ing get off your arse and work untill you have enough money to buy them. too many people are choosing the easy road as they are only interested in looking aftr number 1, ie themselves.
Shame on the shopping centre and especially all those people who saw what was goin on and did nothin about it:mad: cause next time it could be these punks knocking over their pride and joy!

[919]

How can any one class theives as professionals ????
Yes and people would have seen something for crying out loud
all i can say is these shopping centre should have camera mon all car parks ,as i bet u wont take your car back there now

Here's some thing to clear up...

Security Guards are only as good as the Company that employs them, low budget security Firms under-cut a lot of Professional Security Compan'y, not enough money to employee more staff not enough money to train Staff, so you get a poor semi skilled Security staff or Team.
Secondly most carparks are run by Councils and not the Shopping centre, there for they are not liable for any loss or compensation.
The NSW Security Registry ...NSW Government does not give Security special powers of Arrest, a Security Guard has to be very cautious
when dealing with any member of the public this includes criminals..Yes they do have more rights than you and me...
Thirdly...The police have enough on their hands as it is dealing with more Urgent matters than to deal with some punk that will eventually walk on such a minor Offence, they make that on e of the last priorites to attend too.
LAST.. Why would somebody get involved in some-one elses problem, most people only look as cars as transport or some young thugs car...and not somebody's loss....
And for these peoiple quoting "what are Security paid for"
whens the last time you have got involved or phoned the Police when you heard a House alarm or car alarm go off...
Like I said before I wouldn't risk my Health over somebodies car, over someone being assaulted.. Yes...but not over a car..thats why you have insurance....
I hope this clears up some of the Negative thoughts of Security Guards.

Maybe if some people actually did stand up to these punks then the incidence of theft would be reduced and the poor poor police and security guards and their precious time would be adequately compensated for, so they could focus on the real crimes cause hell car theft jst doesnt cut it these days as something that should warrant the attention of any one. :vpo:
Hell lets just leave detailed instructions about how to break into our cars for these f!@#wits cause hey we've got insurance.
What a sad attitude to have that just because something doesnt affect you directly that you should just not care. how selfish to think that way. lets see how you react if you are ever the unfortunate victim of car theft. then we will see where your sympathy towards these so called hard working police and security guards lies, and if this indifferent stance you regard these moronic thugs with still holds true. shame on you, as you are why society and its values are in such disrepute!

I appreciate your angry at what happened to your car but it's not the end of the bloody world...
You obviously value your car more than your health...you appear too have a grudge against the POLICE and Security guards for some reason or another

Maybe you should put on your Sheriff's badge and start Patroling all the dangerous carparks...we would feel so much safer that your around...
mate your not the only one who has had his car broken into...

just remember next time you need a Cop or one of those so called hard working Security guards, don't bother I'm sure you and your mates can sort out the problem...

Strange isnt it that things seem to get done quicker and more efficiently that way. i don't need to stand around in a car park waiting for three hours for some idiot to rock up and say, "shit they did a good job, there's nothing i can do." next time i need them i'm sure i'll probably receive a somewhat similar response.

It's not that i value my car more than my live (although i do hold it with an extremely high regard), it's the fact that i can't stand that there was absolutely no effort, vain or intended, to bring justice against these little shits. they didn't even bother humouring me by telling me that they would make some enquires or look any further into it. when i asked them to dust for fingerprints they flat out refused, as i think that required some sought of extra work getting stuff out of their car which was way too far away, being a whole 10 steps or so. security was even worse, they were more interested in telling me stories about how to break into cars then providing me with something useful, like contacts that could get access to video tapes or try and sought the mess out.

So you think i have a grudge against coppers and security guards, well i suppose i sought of do, but it has alot more to do with their attitude then anything else. if things seem too difficult or would require them actually chasing something up, they prefer to take the easy option and let insurance handle it. i'm not asking for much, just for them to do what is in their job description. they don't have to catch the guys the next day, but for pete's sake make a effort to do something. where would we be if doctors all of a sudden just said no that surgery looks challenging im not going there buster.

There doesn't seem to be a problem with police bringing the full weight of the law down on those who speed or break other road rules, hell they revel in the opportunity to chase the suspect down and go on a little bit of a thrill ride themselves. security also doesn't seem to hesitate in evicting people from the premises because they don't like the look of them. however, ask them to actually do some investigating and maybe a little bit of paper pushing and they run for the hills.

This attitude of indifference needs to stop, doesn't matter what the offence!

[cheffy]

I've had two sets of standard wheels stolen from me. Each time I haven't had a cop car come or anything. I feel for you. I would have thought though that the carpark would have had security camera's??

[XLR8 V8]

Lol, whats with the capital letters for each word?:D

Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse...." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse...." :lmao:

I've had 2 separate attempts to steal the wheels off 2 of my cars over the years right there in my driveway (I've now moved). Both times my dog woke me up and I "disturbed" the thieves. First time I just switched the verandah light on and they bolted, second time was me swinging a 1 wood golf club in their direction and screaming "you're dead f#ckers!" while my dog barked loudly.
Only consolation was that the second time they already had the car jacked up .... so I gained 2 relatively new jacks out of it :lol:

Now you've got me really confused...:eyes:

[JNP304]

What attitude can you expect someone to have toward the law enforcement when the attitude in this case was clearly that they couldnt care less?
Im not going to be as extreme as some and say beat them to death. But surely action is better than inaction. Under 18`s stealing wheels today, and what for the future? Rolling people for money, murder, assault? Maybe stopping them at a young age will make them think twice.

On another theft issue my mate left his VQ Stato at Bayside (i know its Frankston but it was daylight) Came back and she wouldnt start but turned over really quick. Popped the hood, the Heads and Manifold were gone!!!
And he was only gone 2 hours. These scum are so brazen they have no reguard for anything.
But why not stop them now before the wheels they are stealing today turn into the people they are assualting tomorrow

Sure is a fact. 1 month ago up here 2 shites broke into ol maties car, he busted them, chased them down the road and when he got close to them, they turend around and assaulted him. Result was a near fatal stabbing.


i do like the idea of a bait car and springing them in the act but i hope its the cops that do it ... they wont fight back in that case just try 2 run and cops would have the area surrounded ,.

Not in the Gordon estate and many other areas, the cops are as fair game as anyone else...

[Elite SS]

I'm all for punishment for these theives,Drugies,Molesters,Joyriders and any other garbage that walks the street...but fortunately I never had to deal with a head on situation...UNFORTUNATELY THESE THINGS HAPPEN...

Ok put yourself in a situation, you see someone breaking onto a car.

Take the risk of getting injured..or killed, how long are you going to hold him before the cops arrive, are you willing to take time of work to testify against the punk if he appeals...what if he recognises you are your car later on and
decides to get revenge...on you or your car

I had one of my cars pinched quite a few years back a 351 XE , the theif lost it and smashed it into onother car and took off...NO Finger prints were taken just a general report... I was under investiagation..it took the insurance company 3 months to decide if they were going to repair it...
and then I was told that I was a risk and they didn't want to cover me any more...Yes I do know what its like to have something taken..
But I didn't blame the Cops for not caring or the Security guard that was on the other side of the building when it happened...or I didn't get angry at the people...who didn't know it wasn't my car that was getting stolen...
how many people have we seen changing a tyre in a car park with their mates around..no body ask's "Excuse me mate is that your car or are you stealing the mags of it.

lol i love it wen they lose their stuff. about 10 years some one robbed our garage, they stole a broken corded phone some other little stuff, but left their screw diver, so we use it for stiring paint now. lol

Suspicion may surface when the third or forth tyre is being removed, or someone might just think it was odd when these shady looking shits were passing two rear bucket seats out the smashed front driver's side window.:hmmm:

Concerned citizen: "Excuse me mate, what are you doing with those two rear bucket seats?" :weirdo:

Shithead thief: "Oh, don't worry chief i'm just using it to sit down and watch my two other mates change the four flat tyres that we encountered whilst trying to carefully park our car in this somewhat tricky car spot. i thought i might as well take the other seat out too, so i could put my feat up whilst my other friend makes a new driver's side window with his bare hands and some magical fairy dust we found lying around, to replace the window i cracked due to the sudden surge of intelligence i had when i thought about how easy it would be to rip off a car from this car park seeing my cousin was working the security.:idea:

Nothing suss hey. :rolleyes: yeah right. wake up.:stupid:

[lsb05]

Back in the late 80's I had a yellow and black SLR5000-a very obvious vehicle-locked my keys in the car in a hurry to get to the bank.Asked at a dress store for a wire coat hanger.
Then I proceeded to break into my own car in a full view suburban shopping centre car park.Nobody stopped or challenged me but I was expecting the police to tap me on the shoulder.
Lesson for me-always use your keys to lock your older car.

Man, I am glad I live 'out in the sticks'. Although times they are a changing.

A mate was telling me about some alarm he read about in a bike magazine. Apparently it goes off with some "million" decibel alarm then sprays some dye onto the theiving pricks or something like that. Maybe they can be adapted to a vehicle..........I think I might invent one where an arm pops out and smacks the farker down the forhead :teach: :idea:

Even though thats a good idea..the theif would probably sue you for assault
I have a an alarm with two sirens one outside the car and one inside the cabin both 110 dec. even then was told by the installer and the cops that it is illegal to have that set up...they can sue me if they want...They will just have to hang around for either the cops or me to turn up...they would be a lot better off the cops turn up...

Secondly what I meant was, how many people hang areound to notice how many whells are removed of a vehicle..the majority of people just walk on minding their own business...

[KYCV8]

Elite......sadly you are probably right, the law seems to protect criminals these days. And locks and alarms only keep the honest people out. It must be damn frustrating for you blokes that have had problems.

I caught some punk breaking into my near new HSV Commodore at Westfields Liverpool many years ago... My mate went one way, i went the other. He saw my mate, dropped the screwdriver and bolted - straight in my direction. One crash tackle, half a dozen good solid punches and knee in the head and scumbag thief wasn't feeling so flash...

Good news you think right ?? Nope. I got dragged through the courts and it cost me thousands in legal fees. All the while this scum sucking little prick smiled while the taxpayers picked up the bill for legal aid...

I was lucky, i escaped without a criminal record due to my best mates testimony and the fact the little prick was "armed" with a screwdriver...

Was it worth it ?? Hell, no. But it felt good at the time. Thesedays every second punk thinks they are some wannabe gangster but unfortunately some are stupid enough to carry a knife or gun. I can only fight a little bit so i reckon a knife or gun has me covered... Thesedays i have a missus and family on the way to think about. Fcuk it, the car is insured...

[VSSII]

To the emotional and inexperiened. Familiarise yourself with the young offenders act. An absolute joke. Especially regarding assaults on police. I've been to Bidura once or twice (local syd kiddies court) and it's a dead set waste of time for anything lees than murders it seems.
Police are not even allowed to wear their uniform as it may intimidate the kids! They have to fork out for a suit.

[Monster8]

I've been to Bidura once or twice (local syd kiddies court) and it's a dead set waste of time for anything less than murders it seems.

What an absolute joke the legal system can be. How can they expect to ever learn any sought of lesson. Instead this mentality just carries over and they become adult crims!
Maybe we should bring back the biff :shiner: That'd teach them to think before they act.

[klink]

I feel for you, that really sucks.

Over here in Adelaide the RAA and the police have got several bait cars to catch car theives, they wait till they get in drive a bit then hit a button and all the doors lock and car is imobilised. Aparently the cars were supplied and decked out by the RAA

Maybe the NRMA and the insurance companies could combine to set these guys up as it would be good for all parties.

Otherwise set the guys up yourselves with yourown bait car and be within range with your keys so you can lock the doors on them when they get in so it gives you that little bit extra time to get your tyre iron out of the boot.

Happy hunting

I saw this, then put myself in the shoes of the lawmen while the kids got a bond (laughing at the police). Then imagined this happening to me regularly if I was them. Whilst I wouldn't throw in the towel and do nothing, if I was them I might not be busting my gut to get to Westfields!

How can someone steal wheels, break the window and steal bucket seats from a busy shopping centre without being caught?

I had a ute stolen twice, 2nd time it got burnt out.
The first time it was dumped 500m from the Cop Shop and it took a week for them to find it. Actually a neighbour reported it.

The cops did not have anyone that could go and look at it, and they were not interested in dusting it for finger prints.

How can you catch car theives if you don't try?

If the thieves know the coppers don't care less, where is there motivation to stop?

That's why car theives are so prevalent.
