does anyone know what these buggers are actually doing to steal them?

do they unlock the doors eg - with thick steel wire to hit the passenger door unlock button on the drivers door main switch panel? -thats one of those things you'd be stupid not to disconnect. but then again if they try long and hard enough, they could probably even unlock the drivers door lock itself.

and what do they do to start them up? it is just like hotwiring any car?

one would think immobilizers actually do something...!

this is fking madness! i would love to catch one of these c*nts!

yeah dude...my silvia got stolen once from my garage..f*k dude...if i had a gun id shoot this mfkrs..im serious..the way they took my car was by f*kn up the key barrell..they took out the plastic bit at the end and then vala..thats all..u just need a screw driver to start, and the other thing my alarm wasnt on...so it was more easier...but the car was found in 3 weeks...stereo stolen ignition damaged.

is there such product that locks the key/ignition barrell? a plate or something you put over the key slot?

for commodores years ago there was such a thing as a full metal jacket but as i say this was for butterfly ignition commodores

Basically, I was amazed how easy it was with absolutely NO sign of damage what's soever..... scary really :S

Note: don't want to detail how it was done, people don't always need to know every detail.

fact is if they want your car that badly. it's theirs. i liked the idea of removeable steering wheels. cool and very effective hah. but another alternative is to get a direct kill switch to your fuel pump. just hide the switch under your seat or something. good luck trying to start the car without fuel!!!! they can twiddle with wires in the dash for as long as they want ;)

thats exactly what ive done. cept not under the seat! :D

Not jumping to conclusions but last night I parked behind a white S2 33 type M with stock wheels and CC plates. They came from out of the house it was parked in front, looked at me suspiciously (I was in my 33 and expected some 33 mutual respect) and drove off. The only other thing I can remember about it was it's exhaust. Do you know what kind of exhaust is on it, Ryan?

Yeah sounds about right. They guy drove off nicely, like it's not as if he was driving it like he stole it but if you like I can find out the street address etc of where it was and PM it to you and you can go from there. I saw it in Belair (near Blackwood)

I just messaged my mate who lives on the street. He should know what number the house is. He also saw it with me and made the comment that that guy (who is the boy friend of some girl at the address) has had a few different import cars.

    • Good timing mate, welcome to God's country just in time for winter Seriously though....how cheap is rural/regional.
    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 😋
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
