Some bastard just tried to pinch me car!!!

[Pnut]

Well that is a first, some bugger just tried to pinch my Civic! :evil:

Alarm went off and then a car drove away in a hurry, thought "bah a car going past with a loud exhaust has set it off again". Went outside to double check and the drivers door is open!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: .

Door lock looks bent as usual (matching set on the car now ), but i guess on a bright note at least the bloody alarm worked and the buggers were scared off.

Wonder if they will be back . . .

...Hate to say it, But I JUST TOLD YOU SO!!! :evil:

[gazmaster]

atleast they didn't get the whole car though.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: for working alarms

[SOHC_MY_DOHC]

no ones ever tried to break into my car, especially when a black power dude lives right next to my house, his dog goes mental when anyone comes up my drive

Pog Mahone . Yeah i will have to make room in my tiny garage for it somehow . . .

Well funny thing is the central locking wasn't working too good lately, found the door unlocked every so often. So i pulled it all apart on the weekend and fixed it. Good thing really cause i don't think i can use the key any more . Looks like every thing is still there though, and at least there was no breaking windws to try and get in . . .

Now every car i hear slowing down to drive around the bend i live on makes my ears prick up. No sleep tonight me thinks.

[PH4T SI]

nah have your sleep, just hook a car battery up to the car chassis (sp?) :twisted: :twisted:

[Evolutionz]

[BA4Lude]

Dontcha hate that? bloody wankers.

My car isnt worth stealing, and there isnt anything in it worth stealing, lol. Unless they want the Fusion Headunit (that wont play CDRW's fucksake).

Does your car have petrol in it? If it does, then that is worth stealing (especially with the price of petrol these days). I used to think the same with my old Civic, then one day I noticed the petrol flap had been levered open... The most annoying thing was that they didn't need to lever the flap open. The "keyhole" on the petrol flap in those old Civics is just a slot. You can insert anything that you like into those keyholes to open them.

Gutted man, try and keep it in the garage, I can't stand leaving a vehicle outside, especialy in Aucks....

[sonar]

jeez Matt, that sucks never had anyone try it while it was at my house, and it used to just sit at the top of the driveway
Umm, did i give you the Ef civic sedan rear door handles? if not, pop round and ill give them too you. No locks so you wont have to worry about the locks being an entry point :wink: They just need painting as they are currently a matt black colour.

[DA8!]

It sucks that someone had a go at your car.

...but:

I'm glad I'm reading a "some shit tried to steal my car" thread rather than a "some shit stole my car" thread.

Alarms. If you're going to modify a car, put one at the top of your list.

If it's any consolation, 99% of car thieves are drop nuts cowards who run at the first sign of trouble. If the loser comes back - give him some trouble

No i haven't got them, will come and grab them if that is ok as i was thinking of doing that exact same thing today :wink: . Your driveway is kind of long though, and its not like your road is used as a thorough fare like mine sometimes .

Thing is, even if they didn't take it and they don't come back to try again it just means someone else is going to want to have a go as well.

PH4T SI - I used to work with a guy who used to have a transformer he hooked up to his car for that exact purpose, but we are talking good old fashioned steel panel cars (think Valiant Pacer 8) ) not plastic fantastic tin foil cars of today. Besides, some old biddy is bound to brush up against one in a carpark and "reset" her pacemaker's ECU

[Supercarkiwi]

I feel for you Pnut, we had some dickhead try to take ours on Saturday, damaged front and rear bumpers.

[tysonzane]

Gee this is so sad to see people trying to steal peoples pride and joy :cry:

I bet you're really thankfull that the alarm is doing its job.

Its such a shame you can't own such nice a rare rides now a days with out the chance that someone might come and steal it :cry:

IM doing this to the R in the weekend too.. should be all painted by then. Only prob i can think of is no lock.. so through th window they go
But like someone said most of em are scared.. and glass makes alot of noise....

[Pnut]

there are no quarterlight windows on the EF hatches so they will have to break one of the large door or rear windows, which are rather large and conspicuous and move on the rubber seals making them a little harder to break. helps to have tinting on them as well i guess.

I will probably put them handles on and maybe a decent solex lock on the boot. And wire in another kill switch to add to the immobiliser :wink:

[DrTec]

Can never have enough kill switches
Just dont forget not to tell ANYONE! I rekon you are the only person that needs to know.. not even ur gf or best mates! people sometimes let it slip without knowing it.. "oh my mates got one hidden here.." 8O doh
