im with zahos...

altho i would probably not have the patience and just bash his face til it caves in and dump in another state out in the wilderness somewhere where is smelly festering little boddy gets devoured by some animals....

i know if i was going to steal a car and some psycho came running out the house with a shotgun id be detered.... go buy a shotgun :D

nark, it is much more satisfying to watch em suffer. At least thet will learn their lesson, and have remorse for their mistakes before they die.

BoOsTeD_RB26: The best thing for you to do now is:

- change the barrels in your locks, all of them as he may have taken a house key as well.

- as mentioned, change the frequency of you remote garage doors

- inform your neighbours. (Also tell neighbours that he has been looking at a few cars in the neighbourhood so that they themselves feel threatened, so that they dont ignore it)

- inform the police, and get a written report (for insurance purposes, so if your car does get knocked off, it will speed things up with your insurance pay out)

setting up a camera can be quite a job, and quite costly. It really pisses me off that we live in a society where we have to watch our backs!!! It only happens in big cities where we dont all know each other! If victims however started to take action against these people, and against those satanic lawyers that defend these people, this wouldn't happen as often. If you dont take care of yourself, who will??? Thats why you teach these f*ckers a good lesson when you catch them, otherwise you will always be hastled!

3 step guide to ridding the world of theives

step 1/ Get a pig farm http://www.whysanity.net/monos/snatch.html

Step 2/ Fish hooks connected to 12VDC

step 3/ Roll of gaffer tape

U do the math :D

Anyhow all crap aside ure neighbour said that he has some stuff stolen right? i think the general behaviour is for these types to scope the area for a day and then hit it one night and move on. If they tried once and failed chances are they wont be back unless they are really stoopid or really determined, which most arent. When my car last got broken into they did the whole street and just stole some crap off my back seat. It was on one of those really stormy windy nights where u hear lots of noises but dont pay attention to them.

Someone suggested this to me a while ago.... It uses the sensor light theory but instead of having the light shine on the car when the sensor goes off, put the light say above your bed so it will wake you up without alerting the thief.... This way you will have the element of surprise on him...

It would take a little bit of effort to setup correctly but once in place would give you a huge advantage over the thief :D

thanks for all the replies people. you've all been very helpful. I'll be making a trip down to dick smiths probably to buy a camera for the garage. im also looking into a PIN code thingo to put in the car....like the STi's have with the Brant system.

what would actually happen though if something happend and say the thief got "hurt"?

coz I have heard of thieves breaking into peoples houses...getting hurt and sueing the owner. how does this work? just a quick Q...sorry to go an bit off topic.

Dont pick up the bat... or the police will charge you worse than the crims.... Just tell the police that they pushed you and you grabbed one of them to not lose ballance then pull them into the garage wall and then when their in shock bash their face up against the wall a few more times... Dont use the floor case you want the pattern of the garage wall there for proff...

Just kidding... Nah i bought a House alarm system... conected to the garage aswell... So when im out or the at work the whole premises is under alarm... Any windows or doors are opened then the alarm goes off... Plus i have 2 big dogs in the back yard.... Their really good if people come door knocking... cause then i let them into the front yard....

those relays are a good idea. also think (if its a professional) starter and fuel pump relays can be bypassed given time. i was thinking about an injector / coil cut relay also. the more independent cut out points (especially if well hidden) it will take ages for a thief to remove the vehcile.

Ive heard about numeric keypad immobilisers available from Jaycar,which stop you starting the car until you have punched in a pin number. apparently these are pretty cheap, too.

this would then work as a second immobiliser - so that even if they have your keys they cant start the car without the pin.

I had one of those keypad in my first car.... (It was a holden) but anyway more to the point. I could by pass that system in about 1 minute....

The keypads are a great idea, except everyone thinks their amobile phone. (idiots) But their easilly bypassed....

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
