my car was broken into last night by none other than a fricking commodore owner! being a commodore owner and a member of this forum i warn you all to be very aware of the people around you! around 2am this morning whilst on the toilet, i hear my best friend racing out the front door to put the fear of god through a couple of low lifes who thought they deserved my car more than i did. after completely stuffing both front doors in their vein attempt to get into my car, they ran over 100 meters in about 3 seconds flat to hop in a dark coloured vp ss! i do not hold anything against any commodore owner in anyway over this at all, i would just like every one to keep an eye out for people like this cause unfortunately this type of stuff happens way to much! im sure you will take all this in your stride and please remember it can happen to anyone! be careful! the incident happened in glenwood, just near parklea markets in sydney, if anyone knows anything about this, please tell quakers hill police or speak to me in private through pm. cheers

That sucks mate.

People shouldn't mess with other people's cars (or anything else for that matter).

Mine gets the odd attempt at a break-in from time to time too.

i reckon the ss was taxed too, and they wanted another so they could race.

school holidays if you ask me

that sucks.. lol i live in an aboriganal comumunity in northern western australia.. my commodore has never been touched *touch wood* stuff livin in the city. Get yourself setup with a blackwired alarm with touch & knock sensors They are readily available on eBay for about $300, installed mine myself, if there is the slightest bump or knock to any windows it sets off a warning alarm *no joke - the knock Sensors where a pr**CK to install. hell if a truck drives past while my car is parked it sets the car alarm off.. Dont take security lightly.

Some people are just dogs with no respect for anyone else's property. I'd like see how they'd react if they car got stolen or broken into.

At least you stopped them before it was too late. You were luckier than most.

I just find it funny the amount of people who can't get into VN's

Someone tried getting into my SS but couldn't. I've gotten into a VN that many times (my VN Calais when the remote was playing up and would not unlock the doors) with a piece of wire in about all of 2 mins.

Simple...........dont drive a commodore! 95% of them are the easiest cars to get into.

You have a point Airstrike. The most targeted car for theft is the Holden Commodore. It's a risk we take to drive the cars we love.

Besides, isn't there already a thread (in the pub i think) about ways to secure your vehicle?
