Lol, yer I`m a produce manager at woolies and at our store its service 6 now because 100 had been worn out seeing how its been around since 1980something. Only the store manager, STM (store trading manager) or SSM (store services manager) can approach them, one day the service superviser once approached some young aboriginal youths about theft and promply got a brick through her VY lumina windscreen, as they knew it was hers, just make`s you think twice about been a hero and just let the people with company insurance protection deal with it.

VN V6, nothing special
Thats pretty sus, at a supermarket i used to work at we had 7 registers, so register 8 was the call for everrrrrryone to get to the front (to drag the junkies out the back)

Eventually got to the point that some of them would hear me call a register 8 and run back to the fridge and put the scotch/burbon back on the shelf.... dodgy bastards....

And the **** i have heard about alot of wreckers, ALOT of the cars are not legit there :) but like i said, what i heard so dont know how true it is :)

Yeah during my training we got heaps of stories, espically about some of the scummy towns here in Vic, the lady who was training me was almost stabbed with a syringe in Springvale.

Anyway back on topic, youd be surprised how much is stolen from car wreckers. I have heard countless stories of people who have walked into wreckers wearing cargo pants and filling their pockets with injectors and reselling them.

In the end I spose its because of these people that wreckers prices arent exactly reflective of their "quality items".

Dont think ive ever seen someone blatantly just holding a part and walking out though, usually there is some attempt at being clever and hiding it haha.

How low would you have to be to steal from the wreckers.
Imagine as they took off they smashed into another car, that would of been gold.

On the topic of woolworths/safeway, at our safety team meeting we were instructed to not chase them or try to stop them because they've been known to pull knives etc., I had a pretty lengthy post typed up but realize I shouldn't post it lol

We had people try to break in during a nightfill session one night as there are pubs down the road, the manager went to the door to try and talk them down, the rest of us went to the kitchen knives section as a precautionary measure lol.

I recon any kind of ' theif ' is a ' low life ' .
The good and bad experiences with car wreckers is another topic .
Young blokes that own commodores and see it ok to steal from 'anyone' is the point .
A theif and all his mates that help him steal stuff should burn in Hell :realangry
Just my opinion
