the thing is they are just so easy to steal, 

newer ones actually take some skill

whats with the work car park, cameras? open air?  

was it jsut drive past and go oh that's an easy one, or targeted

 

no idea how I was so lucky for so long had mustang parked on street in Brunswick for 3-4 years when I first got it (still remember going to see Gone in 60 seconds at crown with it parked in the multi story below going..hmm is it still going to be there)  S14 was on street all it's daily life alternating between work in south melb and home in newport..

 

guess eastern suburbs are just dodgier.

Open air work carpark with cameras, you can't see my car from the street, so someone has seen me drive in or wandered through the carpark looking for targets. Or someone who works here has tipped someone.

They don't really care where, anytime and any place.

Birds, buy a R34 sedan, noone will ever attempt to look at it, let alone steal it.
 

I get wistful happy thoughts every time I park in a carpark somewhere, but alas, no bites.

are you getting camera footage pulled? or they just don't care.

 

 

Bit of both combined with my own apathy

I've seen the footage before from the last time this happened, it really isn't useful, certainly not for identifying people. It will only show me if another car was driven in or if they came on foot in hoodies as they do. If there's a car or a clear image I'll give to police but otherwise it's a waste.

Put a old go pro in, turn off the recording red light and face it toward the driver door point out the window from suction cap and plug it in to the car to charge it when you drive, replace SD card every few days to clear it. Catch their face = win?

well you could add security and add preformance at same time...

 

set up a set of these suckers to the alarm and a bottle of NOS.

tasty BBQ when come back to the car plus a bit extra off the lights when needed.

 

Win Win

I could go with the old trick of a strip of thumbtacks under the door handle, leaving a small spot for a finger to get under there safely

Protip if you really, really hate someone - paint stripper under the door handle is not a nice thing to grab hold of

Speaking of parking, got 3 parking tickets in November (only finding out about them a few weeks ago because they had flown or were removed from the car) when parking at Essendon Airport long term. I called up the council saying I have receipts, why was I fined so many times? they said "we have photos here of your car with no ticket displayed" "that's because it's a ticketless parking system in the long term area!" goddamn inspectors are muppets. They must have fined every person in the car park.

They’re probably reading this thread and are now anticipating the thumb tacks

 

Hopefully they also anticipate me choking them out so I don't have to go to jail

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
