I don't leave anything in the car if I can help it.. having an empty car deters thieves, also leaving the ash tray open with no change in it helps... not always enough though.

Know plenty of people who still leave lots of coins & valuables in the car..

Had the Gazelle broken into at Thornbury station..

neighbour also had his car vandalised there...

Saw a car parked at crown casino... he had hit the parked car in front of him and left it like that.. (how's your driving f00l?).. both cars were pretty nice.. probably drunk & drugged and didnt even realise.

Had a car stolen from under the bridge on king st at probably 3amish.. (next to aquarium).. joy ride, smashed up & dumped.. same car was broken into 3 weeks earlier on queen st & lonsdale.. parked in the middle of the road on a busy saturday night.. cops actually caught him in the act.

I found out after the car was stolen that the bridge is really bad for theft.. people come out of clubs, have no money left for a cab and so steal a car to drive home in..

Oh and on my street, theres been at least 2 instances of a car being put up on bricks and wheels stolen.. (that I know of).

Oh and of course there was the "die you yuppie scum" spraypainted on the bonnet of a boring ford.. just off gertrude in collingwood next to the dept of housing blocks... hate to think what they'd do to a decent car parked there..

no where is bloody safe to park these days. Dickheads aren't confined to specific areas, they are everywhere. You just gotta try and park sensibly. ie.. lots of people around and well lit.

Hi QWAK...it was good to meet you at the barbie...:P

although i agree with you, i still believe there are certain spots that are targeted more by thieves than other places...for example Dandenong is meant to be the worst area for thefts, especially around xmas time, but as you said gotto be very careful anywhere you park nowdays....

now thats a blatant business plug if ever i saw one..LOL:D dandy is a hole as far as im concerned, i hate driving and parkin there. any place can be a bad spot at the wrong time. i avoid parking in the dark corners far away from the entrances, as close to the shop as possible, and next to a nicer car as i call it "insurance" so i can avoid door dents cause people with nicer cars tend to respect other cars also the thieves would rather have a look at their car than my shitbox r33 in comparison:D:D

In plain sight or not, they aren't exactly the sort of things you should be leaving in your car.... regardless of where the car is parked.

Cop said the same thing :P

It was silly but I had planned to visit my cousins bar (Cape Lounge) just after opening a few years back for a few drinks and got a bit carried away with the free booze and was only sporting my shorts and a singlet so left phone, wallet in glove box for the night while I went out and got tanked (no pockets)... next morning I go to collect car and my window is smashed and shit is everywhere. I parked opposite Sambuca Bar so I thought it would be sweet as so many ppl and lights in that area. My bad... once again.

Southland shopping centre in Cheltenham apparently ahs one of the highest car theft rates in Vic. The worst area is in the far corner by the train line and Bay Rd, it's quite isolated with no through traffic, avoid it people.

what do you guys think about south morang, mill park.. around that area?

I know Preston is like #2 or 3 on the highest theft rates (so we won't be moving there!).. but we're thinking of moving further north... too many units springing up around here & bringing dodgy people with them..

Kaz... Ask Skylinegeoff, he lives in south morang. I dont think it's any better up north. Don't u just hate dodgy thieving C*NTS.. they're everywhere...

As for where not to leave your car... where CAN u leave it these days? there are jealous fu(ks everywhere who take pleasure in damaging another person's property- no respect! I'd definitely say Chadstone SC carpark, never leave your car parked there for more than an hour... and ALWAYS park nearby to an entrance with lots of people and light.. try not to go at night. lol geez... how fu(ked is that, u can't even go shopping without being worried about your car! :(

Awesome, cheap (6pack) local mechanic :thumbsup:

Well it will be good to move in somewhere with a dbl or even triple lockup garage, too expensive around here for a big house though.

Haven't felt safe leaving the car at a shopping centre for a long time, although I don't think it will be stolen, but keyed/reversed into/runaway trolleys.. see it all the time. The other day I saw 2" between two front bumpers. Maybe not even that much room... Unbelievable. You'd think they'd at least notice and reverse a bit before leaving their car vulnerable to another protective car owner..

another hot spot is the Vic market which is notorious for car thefts, as well as crown car park although i must admit guilt for sometimes parking there for convinience... :Oops:

is crown carpark not good to park at?? I thought it was one of the only places safe to park :thumbsup::( If u cant park there where CAN u park???

I parked at a coles carpark and had a crack in my front bar when I returned. I always brace myself for a new crack or scratch or key mark whenever I return to my car from anywhere.

Hampton Park is also a dodgy area... had my system stolen from there from a mates driveway at 7pm. :(:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I shouldn't have read this thread... I'm all scared to leave my car now :)

I am scared too..... they are all the places i park.......

1. used to go to monash

2. do christmas shopping at chadstone

3. "secure parking in the city".......

my addition to the list:

Box Hill, near the station.... got badged (rear)

Balwyn in the middle of suburbia... got badged (front)

i blame school holidays and a lack of vigilance on my behalf.... ah well from now on i sleep in my car :D

My place is great! I'm ten minutes from civilization and have had one trespasser on our property... ever... in over 60,000 years of humans in oz, only one unwanted person has been on our property... and there wasn't anything valuable taken

Feel free to park your cars at my place... although for most of you it will be at least 3 hours out of the way... each way.

Factually though... Greensborough, Richmond and then Broadmeadows are the three worst vic suburbs for car theft in general

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
