Absolute devestation :(

[Al]

This happened to me a few years back with my previous car.

Woke up on a saturday afternoon, after a late night, and was chillin out around the house. After about an hour or so my old man walks in and cailmly asks "why did you leave your doors open last night?"

I was like WTF!! Ran outside to find all doors open, window smashed, etc. Lucky for me, if you can call it that, is that they only managed to steal my head unit and cd changer, as my amps behind the seat (in the ski hole) were "pop-rivited" to a metal "false wall" (they bent the bracket trying to wedge them out, but with 8 thick rivots hold each one, fat f@rken chance) and they could not open the boot.

I swear if i catch a prick breaking into my property, they will taste the metal shaft sitting near my bed.

End of rant.

Hey , i think that custom plates always make your car more of a target.. they are alot easier to remember.

give you an example - a guy cut me off in october last year.. i beeped and at the next lights he got out of his car and threatened to kill me, then tried to run me off the road after we started moving again.

what the stupid **** in his homo comondoor forgot was he had personalised plates that i still have not forgotten. When the times right I will call in a favour, find his address, and spray paint a nice msg on his car warning him to never ever act like he did that day... or ill be back who wants to help !!

hmmm.. digging up old dirt..

but yes, i think personalised plates aren't always the best idea. While its fine for joe public (unless you make 'em angry) i have a feeling cops remember a customised plate much easier.. and if they grow a hate towards you then you're screwed.

[chopobo]

not unless its one of those dodgy custom plates that mixes the Os with 0s and 1s and ls so cops can't figure out which is a letter or number

hehe

[predator]

hehe.. nice one.. O01HHO0

i saw a nice plate yesterday.. it was simply "PRIX" surprised he managed to get it..on an FTO.

[sniffy]

if the plates gets stolen, how long will it take for Vicroads to send you your new plates ? any ideas ?

[sniffy]

he has different plates now...but what is the go if someone tkes your plates when you are still using them? i would be scared to get the same ones if you where even allowed!(which doesnt seem to be right?)

[(B1) MR_fanny]

just go to vic roads and tell em ur case and they'll give u watevas on the shelf on the day....for 60 odd bucks of course and a new rego sticker.

[Guest gtst88]

but what if he wanted back his " GTR88 " plates ? how much would they charge and how long would it take to get it ?

[predator]

u have to pay extra to get replacement custom plates.. sad but true

[Guest gtst88]

his plates are really nice ..

i hate thieves .. my mate's car got broken into last week, they took everything inside the car .. his stereo is worth 5 grand .. his wallet, hp, snooker cue, cds .. all were taken as well ..

hope the cops will do something about this instead on picking on imports ..

tough luck, u cant get replacements, coz when my friend lost his plate they tell him to chose a new 1 instead

coz then if he use the same plate again wich is possible

but if got pulled over by cops, they will find out that the plate is stolen(which was stated by u to vic roads) and will go thru many procedures to prove u are the person who reported and u are the original owner of the plate. u have to make a statement and state which cars will be carrying that plate.

i think to avoid all hassles....u shoulda just chose a new 1

Re: Plates.

I still own the 'licence' to the GTR-88 plates, and they are for sale

All I need to do is pay VicRoads $98 for new plates (in any colour) - which I will do when someone wants to buy them.

Vickii: Police belive the plates wont be used as they are too noticable - probaby up on someone's wall as a trophy

I still am burning over this whole thing. So much 'personal' stuff was in the car (and taken) it has really f*cked me up. Things like photos, documents - stuff these f*cks would have just tossed - is so important to me. Grrrr.

Still upset. Car back in 2 weeks.

[inark]

i dont blame u james!

why take stuff that is of no use to u? i mean its bad enought them doing the act in the first place, but taking that kind of stuff that you cant really replace so easily? wankers.

cheer up bro... at least u still have one of the sexiest 33 GTRs about

[Jamezilla]

Thanks Nark

Urge to kill is still rising - but may subside when I get my baby back, and move to a safer location. Keen to do drive-in again. Might even watch the movie this time
