This happened last friday afternoon, my friend's black S15 was stolen from UNSW biomed carpark complex...

It has carbon fibre bonnet, the large factory optional rear spoiler, some matt black multispoke JDM 17' wheels with red time attack style rims, pretty loud Trust PE Ti exhaust, clear/chrome aftermarket taillights. no side skirts

inside it has pivot shift indicator, chrome momo gearknob and pivot gear display behind the steering wheel on top of the steering column... (yes plenty of bling)

rear bumper had a bit of parking damage on the driver's side

it had some flashing white LED rear number plate light (dying LED)

number plate is gold on black, 888LCK or LCK888 (don't quite remember... its a pretty asian plate though)

I think his car has been targeted for a while, a week before his car got stolen, someone even wrote a note and stuck it on the windscreen, and wrote something along the line of "i like your car with the pivot gear selector... etc"

so be careful for anyone here who goes to UNSW, and if anyone comes across this car please let the police know.

the car is insured but would still prefer to recover it since the owner put a lot of work into it.

and yes it does have a mongoose alarm, with 3-point immobiliser.

wow i thought having a aftermarket immobaliser like a mongoose would make it unstealable !

Not really if they want it they will take it! Best bet is a switch to cut all power to the fuel pump hidden somewhere around your car :thumbsup: and wheel clamps!

Will keep an eye out west for it

I thought parking on uni grounds would be safe? :P

Got me worried about going uni now lol. Got around 2 months before I would have to go back though..

Will keep an eye out for you, noted number plate down on a post-it in my car :)

By Biomed carpark do you mean the botany street multi storey? think i've seen this car in there a few times, looks great.

they make it stupidly easy though to steal a car from there if, obviously, there are no CCTV cameras in that whole carpark?? The lighting in there at times can be shocking at certain times of the day. Can't believe someone would have the nerve to steal a car from there though..

Post-it'ed in my car. If I see anything in the western sydney(parra, ryde, merrylands, granville)area, will post here.

Guys, do what my uncle does. Pop your bonnet and remove a few engine relays. Its not probable that the thief will pop your bonnet and check your relays, and without them the car will not start.

Or if you're handy with a soldering iron, wire in a breaker wire and a switch. Or use a magnet responsive switch concealed under the dash and use a swipe magnet to activate a relay and close the circuit. Sooo many things you can do. You could even wire up your own keypad!

none of which will stop thieves from just dragging it onto the back of a tow truck :)

Yes my mate does go to the RPAH quite often caus he does quite a lot of research work in their lab..

The botany st multi storey is where it got stolen from, I remember reading a post a few years back on Sau where someone's car was stolen there before as well.

To date there's still no news or any progress with the police investigation, so our guess is that it's quite likely the car is now stripped for parts already..

Lucky the car is fully insured, but not the time and sweat we've put in to building it

i must admit it is quite a flashy car with quite a few obvious blings, I guess thats why it caught the thieves attention

with pretty much no hope of getting the car back, ill list a few parts here and hopefully these things will help us tracking the thieves down, as some parts are quite rare.

It has the following:

ARC fmic

pivot shift indicator

pivot turbo timer

Matt black multispoke work wheels with red timeattack rim, ku36 tyres

trust titanium power extreme catback

trust dump

carbon fibre bonnet

bilstein b9 shocks with blue bilstein springs

tein caster rod

cusco front and rear sway bars

short shifter

thanks everyone!
