R32 Skyline Stolen And Crashed

[soundtone]

Had my R32 GTS4 stolen on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning. I've only had it for one month. It was parked in Newport area (near Port Adelaide) right out the front of my brothers house where I was sleeping. It's a quiet area with units and townhouses so no cars ever go down the street during the night.

Got a call at 5.30am from the cops asking me if I owned a black skyline. I'm like "yeah".

Then they asked me where abouts I thought it was. I'm like "out the front of my brothers house".

Then there like can you check to see if it's out the front of your brothers place. I'm like, "Sure" (By this stage I knew it wasn't where I left it).

So yeah it wasn't there anymore and I'm like "Um is it ok?" The cop is like "Um no it's not ok."

Apparently it was seen cruising with another white skyline, possibly stolen too. They both fueled up and did a runner from a servo on Port Road. Then it was found some hours later crashed into a parked car.

So yeah someone had a friggen good night out in my R32 and I'm pissed off because I wasn't there to experience it. Still waiting on insurance to see if they will fix this or pay me out. Hope your week has been better than mine!

I'm keen to park a skyline somewhere one day and hide and wait for some bastard to try steal it. Then I'll jump out of the bushes with a baseball bat and drop the mother f***er. Anyone up for this?

This is seriously f^^^ed.

Skylines are the new VL/VN Commodore.

Only thing you can do is have a good alarm, club-lock, and super sensitive ears at night.

Was an alarm / immobiliser fitted?

Was an alarm / immobiliser fitted?

I feel really stupid for not yet fitting an immobiliser/alarm. I've been too caught up fixing all the other things that were wrong with her. I'm from the country you see, normally my skyline is sitting in a locked shed. The one night I stay in town, this is what happens. Whatever can go wrong will go wrong.

If anyone is thinking of stealing a skyline, they better hope to hell they don't steal my next one because I will be running at them with a f***ing baseball bat.

shit sorry to hear

on the upside its not a smoldering mess

[heslo]

Too bad mate. Sucks when shit like this happens. People are scum, what else can I say

[Altia_R34]

that's the risk when you don't have an alarm of immobilizer but sorry to hear man

[foylema]

Thats suck mate, hope things work out for u in the long run insurance company's can be really tight sometimes

[Volk34]

sorry to hear dude, this sucks!

i think ppl should start investing in clublocks lol

[Blazk]

Aw dude not cool, sorry to see and hear about that. We should get a SAU sting operation going.

[RubyRS4]

Bloody scum theives!

Oh well, lesson learnt ... immobilisers (if not an alarm) are vital.

I also keep a clublock on the car, just to make things even harder.

And if they try to steal my ride, they better be an Olympic sprinter. The last two times people tried stealing my car/bike they lost.

[Ripp3r]

thats gay man.. although as ive read in other threads cars with alarms get stolen anyway.. make sure its a good one

[Krishy]

oh no not another skyline....arrrgghhh some people are low life scums mate.....i think more and more skylines are being stolen as the crims have realised that there is more fun to be had in an import then a shit box VL/VN commy.....so time to get the alarms upgraded or get one if you dont have one.....make sure you have a very sensitive shock sensor that will go off from a little tap.....

look on the upside....its not in a big mess and can be worked on to get it back on the road again

that sucks mate...... but it is port adelaide?, a dump

and no alarm, just asking for it. parking on the street is like having a flag on it in neon, "steal me"!!

at least you got it back in fixable condition not smoking still.

so I take it your first item to buy is a ADR approved alarm ?

wish the police would actually put the car theft crims behind bars, not a slap on the hand off you go.

farking scum in this town who steal cars and trash them.

[scotty32]

That sucks mate seems to be skylines are flavour of the month to steal.I am going to have to buy me a club a lock i think

[Krishy]

even with a decent alarm i am still thinking of having it club locked just to be on the safe side of things

[Brezza]

i cant believe that there's been a few reported stolen in the last week?

i'll have to test out my alarm to see if it is loud when set off.

might get a club lock too?

it's probably a group of punks on a drug high going around flogging skylines, low life scum. i hope they get what they deserve. i hope they hurt themselves in the crash!

[Krishy]

could be the gang of 49???

[Carbon 34]

even with a decent alarm i am still thinking of having it club locked just to be on the safe side of things

multi layered security is the way to slow them down and move on to easier cars

That really sucks, sorry to see what some scumbags do. Hopefully your insurance pays you out and you can buy something bigger and better. Dont let thieving pricks put you off imports, as much as its sucks for them to trash your car.
