When I first moved into the place im at now, our garages were getting broken into on a regular basis. The only thing i was worried bout was them scratching my kid parked down there, so now, $90 later, if the door is even remotely jarred open it trips a silent alarm, waking or alerting me upstairs so I can stroll down and dish out some real street justice.

Happened once, found a guy snooping downstairs, flashed my wallet badge and asked him for ID, stoopid prick gave me everything I needed to know about him too! Dont know whether it was the badge or an accompnaying piece of equipment, but we have had no problems ever since!!!!!!!

A friend of mine who also lives in the same block of units as me in the east of sydney had his s15 Silvia (import 200sx) stolen during last week from our "secure parking". Our car spaces are next to each other about 50m from the main gate to the apartment parking, so its a fair bit awa from the street. Anyway my friend had lost his licence about 2 weeks earlier so the car had had its starter motor taken out for repairs as long as a few other things. The car was totally undrivable. So after having a little go at my skyline they decided to take the s15. Long story cut short. They must have broken in and pushed the car to the entrance of the units with tow truck waiting. Turns out its the 4th car stolen from the car park. Cops still havent even come out to look/interview people. The car was found 3 days later stripped. No insurance either (stupid).

Car theives are the scum of the earth. Police dont seem to take it to seriously either.

  • 1 month later...
  • 2 weeks later...

like I have said before, this isn't evident of all NSW police and I hate making generalisations but...

what is easier, cruise the streets and defect hassle young guys with done up cars (some deserve it), make the government some money from defects

or

setup operations to stop car thieves or bother to try and stop them?

I guess thats kind of a coincidence. Same guys at it for who knows how long and probably will continue until caught. What suprised me was that there were 3 ppl watching them and they didnt give a damn. Just kept on going until 1 of the witnesses yelled out. And I was parked under a street lamp across where all the bus stops are with ppl walking past continously. Never been to strathfield since ....... kind of sad really ... oh well at least we know it was a white old civic 1980's with some zorst ... you guys can watch out for that car ... btw guys inside were asian

If I was a cop, I'd be a lot more excited and proud about being tactical and strategically catching actual criminals - especially these obvious repeat offenders who would be making absolute fools out of the local police in each of those areas.

Otherwise I would have to consider myself nothing but a lowly traffic cop issuing infringements to nobodies.

Whats better ??

Scenario 1:

"Honey I'm home - yeap fined 3 more hoons for having pod filters tonight......nah nah pod filter.....P-O-D F-I-L-T-E-R ??.....Oh its a different type of air cleaner that......Honey - where are you goin ? You're goin to watch Big Brother ? Oh ok I'll wait till commercial to explain what that is and why its a big deal to me that I have to remain excited to come home and tell you about......Oh look...they evicted Vincent......Didn't you like him babe ??.....Honey ??? ...Hello ??"

OR

PuppaDuck, that story is funny because it's true! Well the first story is true, the second story as Majanal says, only happens in the movies. And even then in the movies doesn't the car thief get let off? (Gone in 60 seconds).

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
