[Frink]

Hey all,

just heard that a friend of mine's R33 was stolen over the weekend from the Belconnen Mall carpark. its maroon in color and pretty much standard (gee that narrow's it down doesn't it?!?!). if you happen to see it around please let the Belconnen police know about it. rego is AZS 58M (NSW). cheers....

here's a pic of it....

not good at all. I hate parking in carparks I will keep my eye out for it.

here comes the usual:

did it have an alarm?

was it insured?

All these stolen/damaged car stories are making me nervous... is this happening during the day(s) or overnight?

[MAS_R33]

Sorry to hear!

My 33 was broken into yesterday and was in belco area i think it might have been for the same reason (nothing valuable within the car to take).

This happened during the day

Thank god for my alarms!!!!!!!!!!

got no idea. its a friend of a friend's car. i dont have that much detail. i was just asked to post it up here, being a skyline and all...

[race_snooze]

this is getting f**ked up, something needs to be done to these junkie wankers!!! Time for some Hand breaking. Sorry most of you know how I feel about stealing shit

[Frink]

i totally agree.... just found out that the poor young girl who own's(ed) it didn't have insurance. couldn't afford it, but she loved the car to death.

i am with you shauno it's stupid how many cars are getting stolen/broken into currently. GET A JOB YOU HOBO'S AND STOP STEALING OTHER PEOPLES SHIT THAT THEY HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO GET!!!

[Bullet32]

If they're Hobo's Leigh, I dont think they're reading these forums...

And keep your voice down Im at work and Im trying to sleep...

(but seriously I totally agree with you).

If they can have unmarked police cars in our community trying to provoke and catch street racers, why can't they set up stings on parked Skylines (well there are other cars they could use, but not nearly as desirable IMHO ). Have them fully monitored, speed limited (<10kmh) and immobilise them as soon as they take off – oh and don’t forget having it all on film

They can't say it’s because of the risk to life... most of these kids are too young to have a licence and are life threatening the second they get away with these cars (Google died stolen car and see how common it is).

Is anyone aware of any schemes currently in place to reduce auto theft in ACT?

[MIVEC]

Yeah here's a scheme that's just been announced in the last few days.....AFP will no longer chase cars suspected of being stolen.

There will be no crime if penalty is "chopping" in the groin area. No need for jail.

Don't we do that for aggressive dogs already?

hmm okay... I think I have it worked out... we can't speed in our own cars

What we need to do is steal each others cars and we can speed all night and they won't chase us

Im getting so paranoid now/ I park in a carpark where barely no one goes through during the middle of the day. Im contemplating just bussing it.. haha

[CeJay]

Sorry to hear will keep an eye out. It does seem to be getting quiet bad.

They do this in America seen it on them police video shows

If u have a car stolen u will see how piss poor the cops are , NSW cops this is i have not dealt with the AFP.

First time i had to ring the cops and ask them to charge the person they found driving my car , for insurance , u think i asked them to break the law or something

Second time the cops accused me of doing it , threatened to arrest me , than asked for me not to report my car stolen as it makes their reporting better the fewer stolen cars each year

ouch.. poor girl

There should also be a rego check system in place at fuel stations (no fuel means no drive). I work at one and asked my Area manager about it and he said they tried and there was complications. As far as I'm conserned 'complications' indicate it will cost them too much. Just letting everyone know, fuel stations can write off drive-offs under insurance and tax, so they dont actually lose money so its cheaper for them not to care. But bringing to the point, the kids who do steal them who are too young to even have a licence probably dont even have a cent on them, so the police wont bother with it as there is no money to be made, and they just release them so they can do it again. I'll keep an eye out for it. If only we could get blowfish poision for our steering wheels...
