did you have an alarm?

wow i'm sorry but this has got to be the single most stupid reply ever

can folks stop asking if a car has an alarm or not?

in this instance, 'on the way' to springbrook is mountain bushland and no houses for about 20 (40?) kms or more

in any other instance, alarms are JUST AS POINTLESS and likely to annoy your dyno guy as he tries to move your car :happy:

original poster: wow duder thats pretty harsh =(

yeah i dont know where the f**k he gets off asking questions like that. you're such a bastard phatboi

didn't einsteins car get broken into on the street right outside his house?

an alarm would have made that a lot harder for the thieves in that case

no, wouldn't have done shit

would someone have come to stop them? would they have run away? would anyone care?

i have better deterrant devices avaliable to me now =)

Mel an Alarm does deter a thief, with the new alarms they have pagers and also GSM cards to call you if your car gets broken into...

Why is it point less? People do stop and have a look when an alarm goes off just cos you don’t have the decency to stop and look doesn't mean some one else wont.....

it is a valid question cos if you don’t have an alarm the is insurance approved they don’t have to cover you for this, even if you pay for fire and theft cover. if you don’t believe me go check out your policy again..

it is a valid Question and a solid investment so shut ya hole..

i doubt anyone on this forum would look to see what car has its alarm going off

it's such a common occurence due to fault, vibration, or stupid owners these days that it's like the boy crying wolf

theres one here....so long as i dont have to go a massive amount out of my way, i'll always look. Gives me some hope for good karma that my car will get checked on if it's in trouble.

this is not about the effectiveness of an alarm. the poor guy got his pride n joy f**ked over. concentrate on the topic please

Well if the -poor guy would give details of what they took we may at least be able to keep an eye out for cheap said items.

thank you for your cooperation

Not sure what you are inferring by that Dan. My intentions were honourable. The only way anything will come of this is if the perpetrators are caught selling the stolen parts.

    • 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.
