Sorry to hear it Mona :D

There's camera's aplenty on the casino floor. The a**holes running the joint might be considerate enough to use a few $$ from the billions and move a couple lousy cameras to the parking lot.

All the best getting the car sorted.

sorry to hear that moaner. your story unlike most has a semi happy ending since you are a smart chickie with a full alarm and full comprehensive insurance. :D

you don't have to go far down the NSW section to find threads on cars stolen or damaged at star city or harbourside parking.

the problem I found with lock nuts is you really need to carry the lock nut tool in your glovebox, so the lock nuts are only going to save your wheels if they don't bother to gain access to your car and look inside it.

of course the carparks don't give a rats ass about peoples cars getting damaged or stolen in their carpark. they have their little disclaimer up to cover themeselves, and the only crims they are interested in is those dastardly devils who would try and leave without paying their exorbitant fees.

Very sorry to hear that mona, at least yo still have the car though.

That car park is a disgrace, we had the z broken into twice (once smashed passenger window, other time slashed the roof open). Over $7k of damage in 3 months.

Clearly the owners (state govt) and cops dont give a f**k since this has been going on for a while.

yeah i saw kels post about her window being broken, but i guess i had one of those mind sets where i just thought it wouldn't happen to me.. i'm an idiot.. i know.. but now it just means i don't trust any carparks and will probably go back to public transport or buy a second car.

and yeap.. police don't give a f**k.. the finger printer guy called me this morning and i could hear him playing with something on his desk and pretty much telling me that because the car had recently been washed there was no hopes of fingerprints, and because we'd moved it (f**k leaving it in that carpark over night) there was no point as the towie and others would have gotten their prints on it... well f you.. if they had bothered coming to star city yesterday when it was reported then maybe theyd have gotten something rather than sitting on their lazy ass

and i really wish i'd known about other breakins apart from Kels window being smashed.. i probably would have found other parking.. but then again maybe not.. hindsight is a wonderful thing but gets me nowhere

I'm always suspicious of the security guards at places like star city.. it just seems all a bit convenient that they get away with barely any trace. The thieves are either very stupid to be stealing from a place that is theoretically covered with cameras, or they know that they cant get caught because they're mates with the security guards or whatever.

I'm not saying that in this case the security had anything to do with at all, its just a conspiracy theory!

Sorry to hear about your troubles.

Im also with you on this one re the seco's. These carparks are like shopping malls for thieves. As if the security guards arent cruising round and ringing there mates every time a nice car rocks up. Theres no way in the world they arent involved. Call their mates, keep a watch out, watch you in the casino to make sure your not heading back to the car, letting them out the front gate.

Why wouldnt they when its so obvious they can get away with it scott free, as in your case where obviously no one is suspecting them!

Conspiracy theory this! i reckon thered be a few that actually took the job at star city with patrolling for cars to steal specifically in mind.

Not saying all sec G's are bad, sure some are working to put food on their kids plates. But even those ones prob are willing to, or forced to turn a blind eye to what goes on.

Your cars prob safer on the street where theres the constant threat of a cop driving past then in a dark corner of a car park. (cop drives to enter star city carpark - thieves get a call from seco to move away from whatever car there working on).

Sorry bout the rant

e_dog.. yeah it wouldn't surprise me.. but nothing i can do about that! And i was also thinking its probabl safer ont he streets.. either that or don't have s much of a routine with parking as i did.. park adhocly, park on the street or leave it at home!

and thanks miss pie... i;m more focussed on getting it sorted and praying that karma will bite those bastages in the ass

Yeah sorry moanie, didnt mean to seem insensitive. I know theres no real point to what i said because cant really do anything about it. Cars at risk no matter where it is.

American mate had a custom harley he brought all way from the states. Moved into expensive apartment with secure parking. Bolted chain into the concrete carpark floor and locked it up tight and well out of road sight. They reckon when someone else moved into the apartment and removalists were walking through the car park, they saw it...bike was gone three days later.

Everyone's dodgy

not at all e_dog.. the thought had already crossed my mind.. condsidering they have a guard patrolling the top floor to make sure noone parks there, it wouldn't surprise me if one of them marked my car coming in everyday.. i wish i could do something about it.. but i don't think there is anything i can do and its not encouraging when you know the police just don't care!

sux about your mates bike.. just goes to show, no matter what measures you go to, some f**ker will always find a way to get it

Wow, that sucks Mona. Damn shame to hear about this, after all the time and effort you put into the car.

It's stories like this that make me wonder whether to bother adding a nice set of wheels to my car - the extra attention is clearly not always positive! :rofl:

farking asshats....

That sux0rs Mona..... and I agree with everyone else re security guards having a "blind eye" or a spotters fee thing happening...

You mentioned you think they were in your car the day before??? As in broke in and disabled the siren?? I had a similar experience a week or so ago where someone had a go at my locks, and the siren wasn't working when I returned. Traced the wiring back and found it damaged, but shrugged it off to when the engine was being put back in. Also shrugged off the lock to happening prior and had never noticed it as I never use the keys to unlock the car!

Good luck with the repairs and hope it gets back on the rd shortly :P

edit: get the serial no up and a pic of the rims so we can keep an eye out for peeps trying to sell em :rofl:

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :D

That sux big time! Thank god they didn't get the car, especially after all the work with the rebuild and everything! but dam that sux about the wheels, pfc and the damage to the skirts and front bar :O :O

I definitely agree that it is more often than not the security guards that are helping to steal these cars... At Macquarie Uni, about 5 cars get stolen a week and it is believed that the security guards suss out the cars and then let their mates know when to steal the cars and where.... I wish the police would do more about this type of thing... maybe set a trap for the security guards...

yeah... when i got in the car on tuesday the fuse box panel near the steering column was on the floor - i wrote that off on the guys that washed my car on sunday.. thought must have just gotten lose then fallen off... when my alarm didn't beep when i armed it.. i checked the sound box in the engine bay.. i thought the box had just fallen down and the wires, due to being short, had just sprung out.. now i think they were cut... i'm kicking myself as if i'd actually thought someone would try to steal my car in there i'd have been more paranoid :s plus i couldn't believe that anyone would have pre meditated it like that!

oh! and i also believe they got into the car by using the passenger door unlock button on the drivers side panel... so i suggest you disable this asap if you haven't already

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
