Attempted Theft

[SeanO]

Attempted Theft in Bertram 3am this morning.

Both my r33 and the girfriends new suzuki were touched.

My motorbike CBR250RR was touched as well.

My girlfriends Suzuki Spare Key was Taken. My German Shepherd Puppy Alerted us to them as well as he roams the house freely at night.

Once Awake me and the girlfriend were confronted by 5 Tall People dressed in black from head to toe they were all inside the house with torches and all they were about 6ft 1 in height each.

My attempts to bail them up with the baseball bat had failed and they simply ran.

They were using a White Rav 4 with no plates (Recent model) police suspect the car they were using was stolen from Wembley Recently.

To me they seem very professional in the way they did things and whats worrying is that seeing they have the spare key to the suzuki. Leads me to believe they will Return.

is there any suggestions people can make to prevent this in the future?

gun and shoot or keep keys in bed room

[GTS-t VSPEC]

How did they get in ? Deadbolts, window locks etc are all worth while. Plus think about imobilizing the cars in other ways, like leads to the CAS or ignition harness etc

[SeanO]

I Asked the cop that turned up about gun laws and break and entering/ stealing. he looked at me funny and strongly urged me not to shoot anyone inside your house unless they are Threatening and to call cops in future.

my car keys are kept in my room with me (both sets)

just unfortunate that the girlfriends spare keys were elsewhere in the house. her main set remain on her at all times as well.

Cops believe the lock to the door was picked open. (currently they have a few people of interest based on that fact (they had a list of people with them for recent offences)

[Johny Bravo]

Ah this is no good too hear. I'd probably throw some money into some security, dead locks on doors and surprisingly not much beats the old stick in the window groove trick. Give it another 6 or so months and the Dog should be enough to keep them out of the house, out German Shepherd is good like that. Fortunate that you were home at the time. I don't think they'll have a go at getting inside again but they may make another attempt on the cars. Hopefully they leave you alone. My brother sleeps with a Katana near by in case things like this happens.

yeah missus is frantically looking at house alarm etc atm.

i sleep with the baseball bat. swords dont do it for me

At least you guys were not hurt and the cars were not taken. Lucky you, Sean.

My opinions are have a sensor flood light installed between the cars and closest window and increase your car security. Plus, your German Sheperd is going to grow up so that's better.

My guess is also they have to live near your area as well. They might also know there are two people live in the house with a small dog. Hope they get caught.

Baseball bat sounds ok but I have both now. Because that might be the only time I get to use them.

[SeanO]

Just went out to Bunnings and got a Motion Sensor Flood Light Right where it was needed.

Dick Smiths - Quell Entry Sirens. 20 bux each. i installed them on doors and sliding doors. they go off when the door it opened to a tune of 110 decibels.

I'd Say the Contributing Factor in all this is the fact they got in without waking anyone up. if they try to breach the house again it will surely be a very loud entry and wake everyone up.

the flood light is to stop them from roaming around like ninjas

I can help you set up a basic camera system if you want, I set one up after I got broken into and for not a lot of money can you set up a rather effective system.

[dan_the_man]

you confronted them with a baseball bat?

tennis balls for testicals you have.

[jay-rod]

i Applaud you for standing upto not 2 or 3 but 5 people with a bat.

Thats guts right there, your girlfriend will never leave u !!! lol!!!!!

Hope they catch the f**kers!!!!!!!

[woggin]

and my missus says i am crazy for sleeping with a US army knife under my pillow, my car keys stay in my top draw, inches from my head...i also have a baseball bat about 1.5m from my head...

we've had crooks jump our side fence (we live on a corner block) we got up, bro grabbed his baseball bat, i grabbed mine, we went from different sides and chased the guy for a solid 300m before we stopped!

also had people try to pick our old door lock, guy was fumbling with about 100 different keys, called the cops, rocked up within 3mins....too bad they had just taken off...theres some real scum out there!!

latest incident, somebody jumped our side fence, and removed the flood lights lights, left the globes on the ground and stole my lil sis's bike...fence is 6 6" ft tall too...scum mate!

One of my mates has had two monaros stolen in the last month, port kennedy area. same description as first post. cops said most likely profesional outfit

I had one 2AM in the morning on Sat. They broke in and woke me up in my bedroom while i was asleep.. they were about to go through my room but quickly closed the door when they realized i was in bed asleep. I kinda woke up and found it suspicious.

So i got up with my Samurai Sword... N told them to get out.. there was 2 of them.. As usual they were looking for the keys for my Skyline.. They ran away.. They only had 1 exit in the house which i could of easily blocked off but i wanted them to just get out..

I also found the Kitchen knife on the Lounge.. i think they were gonna use that just incase they had a confrontation.. Also found Old Car keys of the Camry on the lawn later in the morning which was sold ages ago..

I brought a house with my brother recently. Have been in there about 6weeks or so. About 2 weeks ago around 1130pm on a Sunday night, the doorbell rung. 6 young kids (no older than 18) standing at the front door. I grabbed a metal pole and my brother grabbed a piece of wood with steel down the centre. 2 of the kids were trying to jack my brothers BMW.

We only have a 1 car garage and his bmw is usually in the garage with my suzuki out the back of the house (garage goes right through to the back yard), but the garage was full of cardboard boxes from the furniture/tv/etc.

Chased them off, called the police and the next morning, 3 teenagers (oldest 18) were arrested around 1130pm that night for assaulting a middle-aged woman in her car. Were the same kids, and worse still, i live in noranda, right near dianella, so it's not actually a dodgy area at all!

Lived with my parents for the last 22 years (about 1km away from my current house) and not one break in/theft/etc in 22years!

My R34 GTST got stolen from bertram on the 18th July between 2-5am the did the same thing straight through the back door and just so happend that my keys Wer left on the coffee table by the missus the police said that its a chain ov events especially on the jap cars there rebirthing them and sending them away bastards.... I live on heathcote way what street are you on? They deserve a bullet and a beating

[SeanO]

I heard about a r32 being stolen on the monday night before it all happened (so two nights before hand). Didnt Know of a R34. Living on Araulen Crescent. The Missus Hasnt yet got to change her keys over either but...... we have moved her car far far far away. It would have to be all the same people the cops were at the house within minutes. Just tonight I've seen 15 cop cars sprawled out amongst 3 suburbs. So I'd say its only a matter of time

[stÖrmy]

get a taser . im waiting for someone to enter my house without permission so i can taser someone right in the eye
