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?

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)

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.

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. :)

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 :ph34r:

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!

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!

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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
