i like pauls order... police should definately be reported.

parking it somewhere else isnt a bad idea either for a little while altho if theyre local they will know when its back again

seriously the only way u will scare them off for good is to catch them in the act and chase them.. maybe not assault them but at least chase them. that way they will know u are onto them and prob wont try it again.

i mean lets face it, we all wud prob love to bash the living daylights out of them but in the end of the day that is assault and u prob wont want to end up fighting over the bashing in court. pretty easy for them to say u assaulted them for no reason. happened to my brother, he was being harassed by a group of 21 year olds, he cudnt take it anymore so wen they pushed and shoved him he fought back and yeh he smashed them pretty badly (2 of them) and he was only 16... they ended up taking him to court and saying he assaulted them for no reason... lucky he was under age and got let off with a slap on the wrist and curfew.

I had a similar problem with a commodore I used to own years ago... I had some big dollars of subwoofers and amplifiers in the boot. How I fixed that problem was that i installed a acouple of U bolts in the chassis of the bootlid and also I installed a couple in the floor of the boot also..Then I ran the biggest Mother of a chain and padlock through it all so when you opened the boot you only had about 4 inches before it would stop..Still enough for me to reach in and unlock the padlocks if needed...but not enough for the huge boltcutters required if they figured it out..so maybe try buying the biggest baddest lengths of chain that money can buy and padlock them all together at night...I know its a bit of a nuisance but if you set it up right so the padlocks are way under the car..beleive me they will be in for a surprise...better than losing those nice rims

i would really really love to catch them in the act.....

hmmm chain huh..... that could work, but a massive pain in the ass in the mournings, but worth it

is there any type of wheel bracing(like a club lock)on the market? which covers the studs?

cause i know if they take the rims then they will leave the car on the bodykit and then that will be damaged

Put a lil sticky note on one of ur rims saying "Im watching you!" ...Then, directly behind where they would be kneeling down at that rim with the sticky note maybe in the bushes or something, put one of them dolls from the movie SAW. That'll freak em out.... :D

Can you lock your gate in any way? It would be the easiest thing to do if you can.

Do you think they'll come back? They would know that you found out about the missing nut and it's pretty stupid to come back and finish off the job when the owner would be prepared for it.

easiest thing would be if your mum or someone you live with has a car,

park one side real close to a fence and park another car real close to the other side then they have no room to take the wheels

but personally i would stay up and kick the living shit out of them!!

does the gate open inwards or outwards? back a car up too either side.

random locknuts

security dog(check local paper, pre-trained, maybe rental?)

chains

tilt sensor alarm

gps tracking thingo

dogs

dogs

HOUNDS

Sit in a car a few doors down from your house in your street... then follow them home once they have tried to take your wheels. That way *when* you smash them, if they think it was you and they take it out on your house and/or your car.... you can then go to 'work' on their car and home. An eye for an eye :worship:

my motorbike got stolen from my garage a while ago, and it wasnt covered under 'home and contents' even tho it couldnt even be registered, just a 125cc dirt bike (i was like 15 few years ago now)

cheap way to go is get a sensor, wire it up to the main light in your bedroom or in the hall outside, just so it will wake u up then have a switch n just leave it on when u go to bed / you will need to set it up good.. iuno how ur drive way is set up but yeh could get annoying with people just passing by / walking to your door.. try be creative and hide in bush's ! xD

edit: this would be cheaper then most of the other options, and as you have stated u can get them in the act. Even have the sensor obious so they can see it they know that u will be on to them.

If you need to ask, you're just not MacGuyver enough......

Seriously, notify the police, contact your insurance company, swap the locknuts and keep an eye and ear out. Also speak with your neighbours. All neighbours are sticky beaks and they will be able to tell you who was in your driveway and at what time.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
