scotty i really hope its found and all is well :(

this might seem drastic but chain the wheels to something like a pylon. like, big f**k off big chains

sounds silly but someone trying to cut through those would definitely look sus and attract attention from people

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHA oh man you just made my morning.

yeah and attaching YOUR CAR to a BIG FK OFF PYLON with BIG FK OFF chains wont raise suspiscion either its not a freakin mongoose man

^^^ I'll say it again .... for under US$20 you can get a lead-lined car blanket that will knock out any SMS/Satellite service ....

this is true but they dont have the time to throw it on straight away so at least you will see where they are heading.

feel for you bro. hope the following days turn out better for you.

this (theft) sort of thing really really annoys/frustrates me!!!

while we're at it and speaking of brazen.

I still reckon a cheap Nokia with a good battery would do the trick. Leave it on silent, not to vibrate and set it to auto answer. Record that M tracking number and wire a car charger up to the battery somewhere very difficult to find and obscure within the car.

As soon as it goes missing give the police the details, let them call the phone and track it. If its under lead sheet, just wait and keep calling. Even with the car battery disconnected a new strong battery that's been permanently on charge the power should last a long time, especially if its just sitting there doing nothing.

Then install a generic alarm system that will mislead the thieves into thinking they've got the only alarm system in the car disabled.

CCTV timelapse stored incar. If car moves by GPS, vibrates, is tilted or power supply voltage fluctuates, it sends last 20-30 mins of limelapse over 3G then continues reporting CCTV and GPS location in realtime over 3G. You'll have the vehicles direction, cctv footage of people possibly scoping earlier, gps location, last location, everything. Battery backup, stickers, obvious mounted cameras.

The little flashing red light doesn't mean shit anymore. You can't trust the public, the towy will just say "Yeah the owner told me the alarm would go off, idiot lost his keys" or whatever excuse works at the time to keep public at bay. Honestly, when's the last time you EVER saw a towy taking a car and thought 'WTF! GET HIS DETAILS!' Never.

Or as Mohsen said, massive chain onto a massive pylon. Sure it's crude, but it's the next best thing.

Longterm solution - Bash any towy ever caught trying to steal a car. And bash him to the point where the papers and other towy thieves hear about it. Then bash alr33x for his (as always) positive role in discussions.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
