ok so this is how my night went down:

started work at 4 (doing 4-12 shifts at the mo'), parked the car up at the London Cct/YMCA carpark (just up from allara house and taxation office) and all is well, i decide to go outside for some fresh air at about 9.50pm and all of a sudden my car alarm starts going off, i look in the direction of my car and theres the car lights flashing (wasnt 100% sure it was my car as i havent heard my car alarm go off too often) and i see a couple of guys run off, so i walk up to my car and my drivers side window is on the ground, its tinted window so it didnt smash, it was just in a cracked heap on the ground. i look up at the bushes at the top and see some guy in the bushes, and as i dont have but have been meaning to get a baseball bat, i yell out, "what the f**k c**ts! come out f**kers!" and see 3 guys piss off through the bushes and on to the other side of the bushes (the big round about) and hear doors open, doors close, car drive off.

so i call 000 as its the only number i know for the police, i get through and i say my cars broken into, lady sayd "ok do you need police, ambulance...?" and i said police, she puts me through to canberra police. i then speak to some other bloke who then says it isnt an emergency and i need to call 131 444, so i call that number and am on hold for 10 minutes. i hang up and call 000 again, they put me through to canberra and i get an absoloute f**king arogant prick of a pig, this is how the convo went:

Me: "hi yeah need to report a car break in"

Pig: "you need to call 131 444"

Me: "yeah i called that number and was on hold for 10 minutes"

Pig: "you need to hold and wait for an operator as all the operators are busy"

Me: "ok i work on a 24x7 helpdesk and need to be at work..."

Pig: "you need to hold and wait for an operator as all the operators are busy"

Me: (thinking WTF! am i talking to a machine or some shit?!) "how many people are working? how long am i going to be on hold? i need to be at work"

Pig: "that isnt relevant, im terminating this call"

Me: WHAT THE f**k!?!?!?!

Ok so i call 131 444 and go back to the office and am on hold for about 7 minutes. then get someone who says "you need to call 6256 7777" ok then so i call 6256 7777 and am on hold for about 5 minutes and get a lady who is semi helpful and asks for my name, car model, what happened etc... she says she will call back when someone can come out to have a look. i get a call back about 2 minutes later and she says its not something she can deal with, to call 6256 7777 and request for city station... so i call 6256 7777 and am on hold for about 4 minutes and a guy answers "hi i need to be put through to city station" guy says "ok you need to call 131 444" i say "mate ive called 000 ive called 131 444 twice and ive called 6256 7777" so he then goes on to tell me theres nothing they can do, they dont get people to come and look at the car (i didnt touch anything because i thought they DO) and that i need to make a list of everything missing and call them tomorrow. 50 minutes of my life wasted. WOO HOO COPS ARE AWESOME!

so i go back to the car, take some shots with my phone (not too great theres almost no lighting) and park it round the front of allara house.

have had abit of a look and nothings been taken. my head unit is a gay piece of shit JVC and was still there. my turbo timer was still there. my boost gauge was bent up so they obviously tried to take it. only thing ive noticed gone is my big red chewing gum from my centre console. when i get home ill have a thorough look and update this if needed.

so ill be calling just car, which im insured with 3rd party fire+theft and see what they can do for me.

anywho, that was/is my sunday night, how was yours?

What really gets up my nose is that the same f*cking organisation can find time to bust you for doing 10k over the limit, but can't find the time to come out and do some REAL police work. As Gus said, we are treated like the crims all because we upset the cops comfort zone. I could go on and on but it would only be seen as a cop hate diatribe [as opposed to the truth about under performance and lack of service].

BTW Sorry to here Skylvia, I guess you were lucky in a way, damage was minimal.

Don't go there. If that guys wants your buisiness he'll order you the part, and you'll pay when it arrives.

But I'd suggest looking around the jap wreckers online if you can - should be able to get overnight from Sydney and save yourself a few bucks. :P

Dude, it completely sucks. I had a similar runaround with the police when my skyline was broken into. The truth is that they don’t care and don’t want to know about it. so much of all that CSI crap. There could be finger prints all over the car, from people who most likely have a criminal record. But they don’t want to know about it.

Any way good luck with getting a window. You could try www.justjap.com

They have a lot of second hand stuff mainly skylines though

And there’s also jhen auto imports who specialize in spare parts and half cuts

I’ll see if I can find some more for you there are quite a few adverts through all my HPI magazines

To get a permit you have to be in a gun club and go to a certain number of events each year.

And what good's a baseball bat going to do when you're not near the car?? Someone needs to setup a system where the chassis of the car becomes electrified.....a nice bit of 240v down the line would be good.

Just hope they don't piss all over your car when it gets em!

Actually, what really gets me is apparently alarm systems where you install the siren inside the cabin is illegal??

Its a dead end situation what ever way you look at it Beau. If the cops had of come and taken prints and the guys were known felons the punishment wouldn't be much at all. They would be out of jail in a few months and probably try track your car down and do much worse then a broken window. If they were under aged then they would probably get off with a warning. And then if you yourself actually caught them and busted a few heads wide open it would be your azz going to jail.

Best thing you can do is get it fixed as cheap as possible and look for a better spot to park - or get a trunk monkey

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
