"security" parking my a**

YEah well as the title says...

I paid to park my car in this "security" parking place while I went over to Brissy for easter...

I get back and all my stereo, performance gear and even my damn wing were stolen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cuss:

So i lodge the claim with their insurance.... Coz I dont have that sort of cover for my car. (thus the reason for paying for security parking)

3 weeks go by and I get a letter in the mail stating that they "believe" the company had provided "adequate" means of security.

CRAP!!!!!!!!!

So how is a full fence, with electrified INNER wires supposed to stop ppl??

Alledgedly, the offenders dug under the fence, broke thru the concrete barrier under the fence, cut thru the wire buried in the ground, then proceeded to venture across the poorly lit car lot to my car. Remove the car cover, break 2 windows and remove all the gear. Setting off my car alarm in the process....

My question is... If the security is so good, how can the offenders have enought time to do all this and get away>??????? :confused:

So now i'm left to fight them thru the court system, $16000 to repair and replace everything, therefore out of pocket till I get some sort of resolve.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND TRUSTING YOUR VEHICLE TO AY SUCH COMPANY

As you all may undrestand, I'm a lil bit upset by it all.

Firstly my baby being broken into, and now the slap in the face from their insurance.

I'm gonna fight them all the way.

Who's with me??

OMG. When I hear about this kinda crap, it sickens me.

Take it to the courts, get a lawyer, and not only get the money out of them, but sue for damages!

P.S. Did they even call you when they saw it like that, or did you just notice the damage when you went to pick up your car?

Thanx for your support ppl!!!

Much appreciated!! :)

P.S. Did they even call you when they saw it like that, or did you just notice the damage when you went to pick up your car?

They only told me when I was picked up from the airport and taken to the compund.

I've got an appointment with legal aid tomora, but they aren't too sure that they can take on a case seeking so much damages.

It might end up being my own battle, and find a good lawyer that will take it on and help me win. The only problem then is, finding the money to pay for them........

Ferni.... I called up and arranged it all over the phone. I got the number from the yellow pages. Let my fingers do the walking.

And they'll be doing the talking when it is all resolved..... My 2 middle fingers!!!!!

Does anybody know of any really good lawyer that would have look at my case and give me some advice?? Cheap???

I've applied to the Police department for a copy of the incident report, so that will give me documentation to say that the vehicle was in the possesion of the company at the time of the offence.

I have also taken a lil bit of video footage at the yard when I first got there, so i'm hoping that will be useful too.

the guy in the yard was very helpful, the manager was not.

Somehow, considering the amount of time it took the offenders to get in and do all of the above, I'm beginning to wonder if it was an inside job...

Conspiracy theory i know......

But my main question is..... How did they manage to get 2 large sub boxes (which are very awkward to carry) under or over the fence???????

Because i dont think they would just throw them over, coz that would defeat the purpose of stealing them if you break them getting them out.....

Hmmmmm...............................

feel for u mate,

dont rule out that its not an inside job, it could be indirectly and inside job, such as some1 working there tipped people off or anything. somebody is responsible for this and it's not you. did you have to sign a contract when u left the car there saying if any damages etc occur they are not responsible? anyway let us know how it goes. good luck

CMS Drifter, firstly, sorry to hear this bad news.

I'd be checking to see whether there is any signage at the compound that may exempt them from this kind of damage and if there is, I'd be checking if that is legal, considering the service that they are supposed to be providing. I'd also be talking to the ministry of fair trading (I think it's still called that) to see if they can advise you on your rights in this matter and of the responsibility of the secured parking company.

I'd disregard the insurance company's response because that seems to be standard procedure from those pricks these days.

You could also try the Insurance Council of Australia Ltd ph 93256033.They adjudicate on complaints against insurance companies.

Find a lawyer that will advise cheaply and who is prepared to go for costs and damages.

Do you have insurance?? If so, they may help if they know that a claim against them could happen.

Finally, do not back off and if and when you have to speak to the insurance company, let them know in no uncertain fashion that you will fight them in court. I had a problem years ago with SGIO (mongrels) and when they saw I wasn't going to be bluffed, they backed down.

Hope all goes well

Ric

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?

      Hello! I had a mid life crisis on a budget and coincided with the R34s being legal in the USA. And now I am here, with it having old car problems and me slowly hoarding parts to start building it to what I envision. Essentially I made a mistake, that lead me to join this forum filled with legends.
