Stolen :(

[SeanO]

It was about 5am when i woke up with the family to the realisation that someone has been through our house

what we found was

1. 106cm Plasma TV gone

2. Ipod and various little things

and thirdly my car was broken into and the deck was taken

the deck was a nifty little Alpine quite recent model

how can people do this???

Went to bed pretty late which would have given them a small time frame to do it went to bed 12am woke up 5am

Was in the Jandakot area within Glen Iris

oh and they cut a piece of wiring on the tv that is needed so it probably wont work

the 33's dash has been ripped to bits I'll see if i can post up some pics in abit once i find the digital camera (Crosses fingers)

[SKYRYAN]

Aww bugger dude, not far from me.. does your car not have an alarm?

If the dash has been broken in places and your not going to use insurance to fix it.. Mitchy has some dash bits for sale.

[SeanO]

yeah man i know its not far from you your in the atwell area hey

I'll require the radio bracket

a radio

and the little tray that sits underneith the radio

they ripped at it and undid the bracket and ripped the rest out

the smashed the face of the a/c by doing so

I rang Just Car and they said it would cost less to not go through them so im not

the door seal and stuff hasnt got damage to it but the alarm was on its an autowatch and i think they obviously knew a way around it

gggrrr I'll be getting pics soon aint touched anything in the car . one of them wasnt wearing shoes either

[bubba]

Man and I thought my area was dodgy.. lived here for 6 years and never had anything like that happen. Bad luck mate, hope the cops catch the little shits!

Keep a bat on hand though, they sometimes like to come back

[SeanO]

i got a big metal breaker bar for that if they dare come back

thing is my younger brothers car was sitting next to mine but seeing its a run of the mill commodore i guess they coulda taken that instead but they didnt they also peeked in the garage window at the top to scope the other cars in the garage

an astra and torago respectively

my ipod can be connected to the stereo but they forgot the cable if they want it they can come back and get it but they will meet whatever im swinging at them first when they come back preferably a metal bar

big metal bar pics on there way too

You need petrol....

[SeanO]

I already knew that i was going to fill it up this morning

[fire_angel]

That's really bad luck, hope it gets sorted soon. Was anyone else on your street hit?

[dan_the_man]

sounds like they had planned it for a while... knowing how to bypass ur alarm

then again autowatch alarms sound unique when you arm them

[SeanO]

no one else was hit i have a feeling they had planned it in advance seeing that the tv was taken only nothing else was touched they didnt touch any of the gaming consoles underneith the tv they took all the other things that we opportunistic my father has a feeling they have been here before and knew of the tv planned it out and tried taking the car at the same time

[fire_angel]

Someone you know then? there's no respect anymore. Don't count on forensics, they really are massively behind in workload.

[SeanO]

well forensics have just lifted some prints off of my cars boot and door hopefully seeing as i cleaned and waxed . polished the other day and i havent opened my boot since that one of those prints are theres

there telling me atm success , jandakot and yangebup atwell are currently being hit by the same group of people and they think they know who might have done it its looking good so far

[IMPORTD]

sorry to hear this you must feel violated

did you get the plasma delivered??

[SeanO]

we have had the tv for some time now about a year it was delivered tho

i drive my car now and it just feels different but i think its just me you know like I'm sitting there looking at it and thinking have they done anything else that i cannot see atm you know

the Cops seemed to have plenty of different ideas on it but they believe the group are targeting high end performance vehicles by name only they might have been driving around at night and seen my car on the driveway and thought lets try take it etc etc

btw they were looking for the keys to my car cause the other keys to the other cars were all moved and they could have taken the other 3 cars in the driveway but they didnt which struck me as odd

[SKYRYAN]

Shit I'm in atwell.. mine is under a car cover but it's only in a carport not a garage

[Brad3416]

sounds like its time to break out the razor wire and landmine's

srry to hear bout it man, sounds like the cops are onto it tho. hopefully they get everything back in one peice.

[SkyDragon]

Gee man thats not good news at all. So your car was in a locked garage when this happened? It must be a weird feeling knowing someone has been in your house while your sleeping and you didnt hear a thing!

Hopefully the cops do something worthwhile and find them rather than concentrating on taking us off the road!

Good luck.

[Lucy in the Sky]

thats terrible.

i am moving house soon and i dont really know the area very well. its a new housing estate and our neighbours around the streets near us are being broken into.

i have a garage to park in when i get there - but would you have any advice to deter this from happening...

eg keep keys under my pillow while i sleep? haha

[dan_the_man]

put the keys where they can get them ie on a bench near the door... at the end of the day its only a car. If you make them have to confront you for the keys it could end very badly.

I'd rather a car was stolen then cop a baseball bat to the head.
