hey guys
you may have heard a few weeks back someone tried to pinch my vc..
well.. someone was hanging around AGAIN last night.. went out to confront them but they were gone by the time i went downstairs..
my car has an alarm, clublock and i NEVER leave the face on my cd player and i also take the main lead off the dizzy.. what else can i do to protect it.. im getting everyone that lives here to put alarms in their cars..
any ideas?

dog? garage? gate?
Try some security lights with sensors for your house, or get a big gun and fire some warning shots next time![]()
dogs are how i know he/she is there.. they go completly crazy.. garage is full of more expensive cars (which arent mine) and im usually stuck on the side of the road..Originally Posted by maxy0987
tempted to sleep in the car..
i like the gun idea
THIS IS IN EPPING, VIC.. be careful guys who live in this area...

connect up some sensor lights.
if the theif comes back he will be spotted.
my nan lives in lalor.....
if it's a problem, sneak out the back door and scare the shite out of them running and yelling and swing a baseball bat/tyre lever or whatever you can find.
I have a 3foot length of 5x16 copper core wire, about 1/2" thick, really hurts when you're hit with it (hit myself in the leg being an idiot) but I don't have dramas with car theft yet *touch wood* it's for people who try to kill me when I'm riding my scooter![]()
good idea.. if the gate didnt squeak when being opened.. i'd do it.. might oil it up..Originally Posted by TheForgotten

Stuff warning shot's, just shoot them in the knee's, claim self defence and walk away![]()

this is why i'd never own a flash looking car. too much stress.
i hope you catch the bastards. lowlifes like that need a bat across the knees.
that what baffles me.. my vc isnt anything special.. just a stock one.. most it has is a cd player n 6x9's..Originally Posted by jules

gotta love the law though, you cant use infrared security cams unless you put up warning signs, something about invasion of privacy...... when they are trying to rob ou!? damn laws
attn Über geeks, i play Second life. Patrio Graysmark.
have u seen those frogs/gnomes etc that make noises as u walk past? they r like always at those reject shop places...with a little bit of know how u could wire up to make any kind of noise and probly as loud as u want, even if it is wired to the car...might be worth a play around...
Need some parts for my VH 253:
Green standard steering wheel...Green lower B-pillar covers.
Green sunglasses holder/lower dash bits...Air-con and assorted engine bay parts.
PM with any info.
that could work too, use the beam thing to trigger an ear-piercing alarm...
I think people may think a done up car will be well protected whereas a stock car may not be. Thieving is a very low act, had my old car broken into twice and its the worst feeling knowing u wont know who did it.Originally Posted by whitevc
Bad idea, if your gonna shoot them and claim slef defence, shoot to KILL, plant the knife later. that wy its your word and yours alone.Originally Posted by minux

Hook up a motion sensor and have it wired to alert you inside the house and have a pinhole spycam setup that you can watch over the area. Leave the car in a well lit area for the camera to work.
