House Broken Into, Stolen Keys

Hi all,

My home in sylvania was broken into on wednesday morning. Luckily the thieves were interrupted, but not before they did a runner with a ps3, some phones and a set of car keys.

They were chased out of the place and we got a clear look at the get away car and plates (blue 3 series bmw with dark tint and big rims rego JQR **1 possibly JQR *01) but it later turned out this car was stolen a week ago.

Good news is that the keys were laser coded merc keys and they were updated the following morning, the bad news is i had to replace all the locks buy a new ps3 and have to start the games all over again :laugh:

The po-po believe they are from "gangs" operating in sydney's south west who will go out and target areas all around sydney.

general opinion is that they were looking for a replacement car and thought they hit the jackpot when they saw 2 skylines and a nice merc out the front (please note i'm not bragging... the merc aint mine). They break in specifically when people are home so they can grab the keys, wallets and any other valuables left lying around. They got in by lifting a slider door off its latch, so if anyone else has a sliding for without a bolt, sort this out with a bolt deep into the floor or ceiling as its a sinch to get in even if its "locked".

So just a gentle reminder all, dont leave your keys, wallets and valuables lying around, even in your own home, take them with you when you go to bed and save yourself what could be a very big headache.

If anyone has spotted a car fitting the description above over the past week or so, let me know.

Bad luck mate... Sounds to much like London!

Sad thing is if you beat the thief near death because you catch him robbing your house, your most likely to go prison for it..

Don't you love the justice system sometimes...

I'm glad to be living in Perth.

And this is exactly why I'm very thankful to not be living in the South West. Sucks to hear man... :laugh:

Cheers mate, one thing to note is that i dont live in the south west, i'm right on the coast, these guys roam FROM the SW to all sorts of places looking for places to knock over.

I know somone who did exactly that and got 3 months for it, plus good behaviour and it meant he lost his job and could not get a similar one because he now had a criminal record. Just for protecting his property and family. "The System" would prefer you let a thief do what they like and then "The System" will bring them to justice.....maybe.

How is beating someone near death for trying to steal some inanimate posessions justifiable? It isn't. That's why you go to jail for it, and rightly so.

If someone is threatening my family, then I will protect them however I can. If they're trying to steal my car / stereo / playstation - so what? I'd rather claim in on insurance and live to buy another one. Yes it's annoying (I've been robbed in the middle of the night) and you want to harm those involved, but that's no justification for taking the law (and somebody's life) into your own hands.

Some of you guys need to take a long hard look at the priorities in your life.

so if someone breaks into my house i just stand there and let them finish? to make it faster i may as well give them a hand and tell them them where all my expensive items are just so they can get out of my house faster lol. if someone breaks in, of course you will try and defend your home at all costs.

+1 thats why you should have insurance :)

you are taking it the wrong way, if the robber see that you have found them most of the time they would run with what they have.

If you start to chase them with a knife or baseball bat you never know if they have a gun/knife or mates around the corner, its not worth going after them.

Get them to leave and keep them away from your family plus call the police.

First thing i would do if i saw them is yell out "I have called the police" and make sure family is ok and still in the house then call the police.

If a criminal enters your home they are blatantly violating your rights and you don't know if they're petty thieves or completely mental. IMO as soon as they enter someone elses home illegally they should forfeit all of their rights. No option to sue for anything, no penalties for owners giving them a beating and maybe some of the deadsh!ts would learn a lesson or think twice before acting again.

i agree with that part, i wouldnt start chasing them with a knife or anything like that.

there are a few ways i can think of to make someone who breaks into your house who you've beat to shit have no leg to stand on in court (i made a pun).

you simply call self defense. the knife/crowbar/baseball bat/screw driver/spoon that is now embed in his scull used to be in the thief's hands, you acted on impulse and the burst of adrenaline caused you to do ninja styles, grab the weapon and plant him one in the face.

if your defense is something like 'i caught him and started laying into him' then you're screwed. whereas if its something like 'he came at me with a knife/crowbar/baseball bat/screw driver/spoon and while defending myself it ended up in his face' then you're pretty much sweet if you can STICK TO YOUR STORY.

its your word against his and at the end of the day he is just a thief.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
