Pulled over by police

[carlo]

Last night kababs car decided to not let him back into it, so the alarm went off and we spent sometime trying to figure out how to start the thing to no avail.

So we decided to quickly go up the road to get his other key and as we pulled out of the car park in chatswood the police where coasting up and they promptly hit the disco lights and pulled me over.

I started to get out of the car but he asked I stay put, so I did and wound down the window.

The officer came up and asked whats going on, babs explained that his car was being temprimental and then I enquired if someone has reported it. He said they had gotten a call, he asked for my license and bab's number plate and then let us go. (after we both thanked him for his time and for doing this, he said that these cars are a bit of a target)

Its just nice to hear a positive police story every now and then.

I thought Bab's Skyline was black? I was told it was a white one you guys were tryin to get into...

[carlo]

Shhhhhhhhhhh!!

[kabab]

I got home and my alarm started to work there must be something in chatswood that interfers.

[carlo]

change the battery in the FOB.. 10 bucks says it is weak and cant get past interferance.

[ed]

kebab I have the same problem each time I go to my gf's house in chats....sucks...you got a brant too?

I might do what carlo suggested and see...

[carlo]

chatswood has alot of interferance. My home wireless network barely works at times because of it.

Very weird.

very nice to hear something like that Dr Carlo. very nice indeed.

what was their response time out of interest? from point of alarm going off to when they pulled you over. just a rough guess mate.

[carlo]

well response time is hard to judge because we dont know who called up. some people left the car park but paused for a bit at the entrance, they could have been the ones who called up. If thats the case then I would suggest 10 minutes would be close to the mark.

(PS. Donnie darko was brilliant, loved it and if you know where to get the dvd let me know)

gotta say, 10 min is pretty good. can we borrow some of your cops down south way:)

yeah Donnie was quiet the little masterpiece. unfortunately the DVD doesn't come out 'till June or thereabouts. an ex-rental copy on eBay went for $41 the other day. if you like your movies and can appreciate good work, watch "Amelie". I thought it was an exceptional movie. word of warning though. it's in French with english subtitles (better for it imo)

yeah the cops were cool. It's a worry though that certain suburbs have so much interference that RF stuff just stops working (car alarms, WLAN etc). Makes you want to go out wearing a lead-lined hector...
