Devastating :(

[Jamezilla]

Car got broken into in my driveway last night. Lots and lots of things stolen. Lots of things smashed to steal things.

I am very very unhappy

All the Apexi gear was taken (RSM, AVCR, boost guage) so if anyone (particularly VIC members) hears of these and other things for sale in a dodgy manner - notify the police to check it out.

OMG!

That's terrible.

Insurance covers it?

T.

[Jamezilla]

Insurance: All the 'car' stuff is covered. There were other items in the car (which I NEVER do - the one time I forget...) which aren't covered. These are the things that really hurt

[silver gts-t]

sorry to hear

but i think the real important thing (considering its a skyline)

is that the cars still there.

[T0nyGTSt]

I really think these things need to be garaged at best...

T.

[Jamezilla]

Garage: Yeah - usually is.

The one night I have stuff in the garage and don't put the cover on... someone was looking. Not happy

[DREMEN]

Alarm? Didn't it go off?

[SKY031]

I'll post this info in the R31 forums for you as well....

Is there anything we can look for (identification numbers etc) that may help locate the parts?

[jvs007]

Mate thats sad to hear. All the best James.

a thing that makes you not want to own an import or hipo car.

[RBN1]

oh noooo! Man, James thats sucks big time

I really liked your car when I saw it at the GOR cruise. The first 33 i've seen thats absolutely blown me away.

I'm sure we'll all keep a look out now for anything dodgy!

Really pissed to hear that mate. What f@rken a55ho1es!!!

Hope you get your car back to scratch and that the insurance doesn't stuff you around!!

Hate to say this, but sounds like some inside knowledge. How did they know that your alarm is not equiped with some kind of motion detector.

The reason the alarm did not go off is probably due to a lack of motion/infra red sensors. If they didn't open the doors or try to start the car the alarm could not detect the theives. If you wish to not install any motion detectors (as they are known to sometimes false alarm) an idea to to install a 'trigger switch' (similar to the ones in your doors or under your 'hood' and 'boot' lids) in your 'center console' and 'glove box';) . A theif will almost definately look in these areas for goods, and once they are opened they break the electrical circuit and the alarm will trigger. :uh-huh:

... bunch of savages. I dont understand why they take things like the AVC-R, its useless unless they pop the hood and take the MAP sensor, wiring and solenoid valves as well.

The hide of people, the courts have a lot to answer to, theft like this cost insurance companies $$$, owners heartache, and often these people are known to Police and have committed similar offences before.

... anyone read the comic PUNISHER when they were younger?

Anyways, hope insurance does the right thing by you, and your back motoring soon.

... and AL, is this is DIY job, is it a matter of a few $$$ at Jaycar then wiring them in series with those for the doors???

[rb26dett]

what are the coppers doing? reading forums to defect ppl? they should be catching these people. sad to hear man bout the car man, but idiots like these are around.

[Gester]

Its weird how most people who have their car's broken into or the ones we here about on here are from Sydney. Is Sydney really this bad? Looking at performance forums almost 95% of the stolen posts are from people in Sydney.

Surely this stuff has to happen elsewhere? I know it would but why does Sydney have so much more car theft then other cities?

[400HP]

I think this one happened in Melbourne mate.

[Jamezilla]

Thanks all for your support.

I have spoken to the main Apexi distributers here in Melb asking them to notify police if anyone comes in wanting the 'extra' parts of the AVCR and RSM.

Re: serial nos - I don't have any of the ones from the car stuff - as they were on the car already. The other personal items taken had serials - have been given to police.

The GTR-88 plates were taken. If you see them driving around - call the cops.

Re: alarm - I have no idea how they got around it. Really really f*cked.

Quite upset about it all. Will keep you posted.

Thanks again

Do you have motion/infra red sensors in the car? With a car like that, i would seriously consider an upgrade in car security.

Really sorry to read about loosing all those sentimental goods. A car can be fixed/replaced, but goods that have alot of personal value are priceless. One thing that wasn't stollen were your memories, sounds a little corny, but your gf will always be in your mind and heart.
