yeh there i was leaving school look at car park and fucking car is gone. it was stolen from my school how fucked is that, i go to wirrenada by the way... i got it back luckily, found it in McO'Sheas carpark, without $600 worth of stereo system, and fuckers did something to steering so it stays to the side when you steer... idiots didnt even take my mags when the lock nut was in the ashtray and it was open when i found it... didnt even take my street directory, must be ameteurs, if anyone heres about this theft can you give us a yell cos all i want is my stereo back cos it was so easy to work for fuck sake by the way sorry bout the long post but you understand...

this is becoming a real prob where i live. to all people with good stereos its pretty much common sense where you crank it cause ive seen guys follow people home to find out where the car lives.
Makes the honest ones paranoid into forking out for GPS alarm systems or something ive managed to hook up a sensor light pointed at my car with the light turning on through my window so i can run out and beat the shit outta the asshole fooking with my machine. cats setting it off arnt a problem they tend to steer clear of my car after repeated runs of trying to speedbump them in my street havnt hit one yet dont wanna stain my duco

kill switches are the go, although they wont do much with people stealing your stereos but it will make it harder to actually steal the car

And a nice noisey alarm. If they break into it at school and the alarm goes they're gunna run real quick!

get a big exhaust and put a switch on ya fuel pump relay. That was they can start it, then you can hear it, then u can see who it is when they get 20m's are the car runs outta fuel =)

thats a real shame mate, if the steerings gone all crooked i guess they would have put it into a gutter or up,

Heres a neat stereo trick. get a cheap as fuck deck a couple of years old, go to cashies and get some 10-20year old home stereo speaker boxes, rip out the speaker cones and voila! it sounds better than youd expect and no theif would bother looking twice. Wirreandas a hole, lots of my mates went there.

too bad most home speakers work off 8ohms and car ones work off 4ohms. they will sound good for a couple of weeks then they will go to shit quick

i just dont even bother with a sterio anymore, had mine stolen a while ago. money is good, particularly in my pocket. not some dickhead lowlife's.
