Thanks JK. Not an avid stalkbook user.
Reports have it seen around Marsden, then Loganlea, and on Beenleigh Rd, so inform any friends you have living around Logan/Beenleigh/Yatala. I'd suggest informing people on the Gold Coast too as it's only a short squirt down to the coast from there.
The Police have to put a team on this because ALLOT of late model HSV's are going missing up here lately, and it's not like they can be hot wired and driven off.
Sadly the Police probably won't care.Quote:

Assholes broke into the house and grabbed the keys. Also took a bunch of jewellry and other bits and pieces. Even my newly plastidipped rear track rims.
That is terrible news. Hope they get their comeuppence. Bastards.
Man that sux, will keep an eye out here on the coast.
Terrible news Adam and one of the reasons when I got the W427 front bar I put an aftermarket alarm on mine, completely separate to the factory system so even if someone grabs my keys a) the alarm will go off as soon as they open the door and b) the car won't start without a signal from the separate remote which is always with me. Plus even if they get past all that there's a separate GPS tracker with which I can track the car from either my phone or internet.
Here's hoping you get it back unmolested!
Hey Wonks, What is the brand and model of this gear you mentioned?

From memory it can be wired into the factory system but I deliberately elected not to do that so if someone pinched my keys they wouldn't get far.Quote:

Price now probably only around $150 as they keep coming down. They also have SMS facility so I can ring the SIM in the unit, hang up after one ring and it sends me an SMS which displays details about the cars location, speed etc and I can see on Google Maps on my phone where it is. It also has the facility to cut the fuel pump by SMS which is illegal in Australia but I've got it wired instead to do something not illegal. :D
and pinching the car is? uckem disable fuel and you extra bitQuote:

I don't think I'd have a great problem disabling fuel remotely if I could guarantee that whoever was in it would be the only ones hurt, but there is potential for purely innocent people to be injured or killed depending on just where the car stopped.Quote:
