Car broken into, stereo stolen, dash trashed.......time to vent


Recommended Posts

G'day All,

Well, phuck it, guess it was bound to happen to me, but my car was broken into day, and yeah, as you can imagine phucken pissed off right now.

To make matters worse, my car was parked in the office 'secure' car park...........yeah secure my phucken ass, and yeah, after a shitty day at work....not impressed at all right now.

So is there anything which I can do.....police statement has been taken down, but I'm not holding my breath. Phck I have a thirst for revenge right now, but yeah, going to have to conseed to the fact that I can only try to repair whats damaged, and yeah, try to make my car right again.

So what happened?? Had my car parked at 300 LaTrobe st Melb in the Wilsons car park. (where I work) came back to find damn, my passenger window looks light (tinted as it should be)

Jaw dropped, glass everywhere, looked at the dash. Surround was snapped and ripped off. Panel around the auto t-bar ripped off and all scratched up........wires everywhere........ what else can i say........these guys seemed like professionals, there was other stuff of value, but i guess luckily, they just went for the deck, and nothing more.

So guys, if oyu see a Pioneer DEH8400 (american version of the 8450) the volume dial scratched up, for sale......meet the seller, and beat the phuck out of him.........I'm mean literally phucken kill the sonofabitch

Anyway, looking forward, if anyboyd has the following, please pm me as I desperately need the following for a R33 GTST:

left passenger window

dash surround (the one that goes all around the dash.......beside steering column, around the stereo, climate control etc

gear shift for automatic surround

Please excuse my grammar, (see thread in Wasteland forum) just cant be assed writing properly, but yes, if you have any of these parts available I would extremely greatful

shouldnt security car park have cameras?

did they charge you for parking in the secure parking? if they did get it back because they did **** all of a job, and ask to see cameras, if no camera's, suspect inside job, or just suspect anyone and **** them over some how

yeah, good idea sars.....mine was in the boot......stupid i know......and yeah, they new where else to look. fortunately nothing else of value was stolen............sars i guess you can check it out yourself when you check out the pod filter

autotrust are you there............i presume no doors were open so no alarm went off...

car wasnt stolen, if thats any consolation and yes I could see the key barrel being tampered with.

Phuck the skyline curse............yeah not much luck of late, but refuse to let some phucker ruinmy car, and make me scared of putting nice things in it..........so the way I see it, phuck it, and I'm going to get something better!.........could be hard and pricey upgrading a pioneer 8400 tho.......:rolleyes:

Sorry to hear Scotty :rolleyes:

Have you spoken to Wilson parking? If more than one car was hit on the same day - the Police might be investigating a little harder than usual.

Scotty, I feel sick :spew: , another skyline trashed for the deck. Depending on what they broke the window with depends on whether the shock sensor would have picked it up, if you have one. maybe a paging alarm is in order, you would have to be sure that you park within it's range to be effective. Tracking systems are too expensive and it can take 5 mins for them to call you if they get an alarm. Not many wreckers in melb have skyline parts at the moment, but this place may,TOP jap autos 9791 1811 (dandy) i don't like these guys due to their phone manner but if they have parts who cares right.Let me know if i can help, good luck with your repairs. :headshot:

G'day Autotrust, gave the guys a call in dandy, and yeah, phucken phone manner was atrocious! Couldn't even understand him.......anyway, all he's got is the glass.......$150!! phuck!!

Hey, I'm going to gaffa's tonight, hopefully he can help me at least pull my door apart and clean all the glass shards that have fallen through.

Pushhead.......thanks for your comments bud.....as the saying goes, when it rains it pours.......and of late a lot, and I mean ALOT of money has been pouring out of my wallet. *sigh* So how can I beat these phuckrs!

All those apparent secure carparks are farking useless.

They make so much $$ everyday, yet pay the workers there peanuts thats y they dont give a shit even if they hear a car alarm go off they wont get off their asses to go check.

I suspect an inside job if u park there everyday and didnt have an alarm.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
