rob77 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Why do we bother having nice cars and maintaining nice cars when little shit heads come along and wreck them. My bootlid latch is now half hanging off thanks to some little pricks that either had nothing better to do or were trying to break into my car via the boot. Not to mention the 2 key scratches left on my boot by some other little **** nuts just after I had it cut and polished. So now I'm left with a useless boot lock, with the option being I buy another one and I have 2 keys to get into my car or I just pull it off, seal it up and I have to open the boot via the latch inside... thanks. Not sure where this happened at home or at work, but I get the feeling it was at work today... **** I hate cannington, full of shit heads.

MrGTST Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 This happened to me too a while ago..... I looked around and found a new lock from a wrecker, stripped the two locks down and swapped the badge's.... End up costing me around $80 and about an hour of my time. I didn't need two keys either.

Sneeza Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Rob - my car was also badged in Cannington (at the sevenoaks college) now I have a stupid hole in the side of my car. I am in two minds about whether to put a cheap nismo or something similar badge there or to get the GT badge... but why waste my money when it will just get stolen again. The thing that annoys me the most is that its prolly stupid little kids with no car - just so they can put the badge in their collection in their room.

Nizmo Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 well the only way to open my boot is from the latch inside ..... so something similars probably happened to my car before it changed hands. My mum had her car keyed down the side in High Wycombe ....... just makes me so angry that jealous pricks will wreck your property and theres really not much that can be done about it.

rob77 Posted July 20, 2003 Author Share Posted July 20, 2003 if I catch the little shit, I'll break both his arms and then ring the police get them to charge him with damage of property and explain to them his broken arms was when he tripped running away from me.

rob77 Posted July 20, 2003 Author Share Posted July 20, 2003 Yeah, same thing happens at the shops. If you catch someone stealing you cant call them a thief or hurt them whilst detaining them... screw that, give them a few wacks while no-ones looking and just say that tripped over or ran into something I get the feeling I know who it was who did it... over the last 2 weeks been getting a lot of little aboriginal kids in the store and I've been throwing them out, although my cars parked at the back, I wouldnt be suprised if they walked around and decided they wanted the nissan badge off the back. I cant understand that, its not like its a special skyline badge, its just a plain old nissan badge that protects the keyhole... I could understand if it was a skyline badge or something, cos you cant get them that easily...

Red Sky II Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Totally agree - what do they get out of doing crap like that, let's face it what are they going to do with them. Although not bad, I had my tyre valve caps (all 4) stolen not long after I got my car - they were shiny red metal ones that were on the car from Japan. Its not that they got nicked (can't believe some people would even bother) but that someone got that close to my car without me or anyone else knowing. That is what worries me but thank goodness they did nothing else. Needless to say just have plain black plastic ones from Big W on there now.

R34 Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I went to the shops once and came out a different exit to approach my car from the other direction to spy a tu*d starting to lever off my guard badge. Got right next to him without him knowing and stood over him as he was crouching beside the car hiding. When he looked up in shock I never said a word but punched him fair in the lughole. Talk about squeeling like a stuck pig:) He scampered off still squeeling and holding his ear. Geez that was satisfying Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/20859-why-do-we-bother/#findComment-438932 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31 Chick Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 At the shops someone just walked past my Corolla and grabbed the strip that runs down the side of the windscreen and tore it up so it was sticking out when we came back to the car. What makes people do that? There is no money to be made by destroying others car for no reason other than to watch the person get P*$#ed off when they come back. Ah well. Rob, hope you find a boot lock at a reasonable price. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/20859-why-do-we-bother/#findComment-439235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob77 Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 I'll be bogging it up... if I get another nissan bootlatch lid I'll just be worrying about it happening again. So I'll go to a panel beater and get it bogged up and will just have to live with opening it from inside.

R31 Chick Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Probably safer like that anyway. No-one can break into the boot then. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/20859-why-do-we-bother/#findComment-439989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
