hey

car theift is defently rising around quiet streets........

today my car was broken into... The fucken bastards smashed my passenger window and opend the door they stole my speakers from the parcel shelf....Luckley i had my CD player out to do some repairs on it and hadent had time to put it back in.........

but if you own a suped up gemini or other car that turns head make sure you keep it in good view as my car use to live out the front of my house in the parking bay in a 3 house street...and it still got knocked off so watch out...

and if you get the bastards bash the cunts for me.

I feel sory for you man. What just happened to you is one of my biggest fears, although i take every security precaution, there is no stopping them breaking a window.

When i got to work, my car is parked in a quiet backstreet on the other side of a supermarket, this street is the most notorious for car theft in my town and unfortionately i have no other place to park it.

Sometimes it scares me to think of what i would do, if i saw someone removing my audio gear from it, and i had a steering lock or tire iron handy...

Hey - I'm real sorry bout u'r news, but tell me - did you have tint on your windows? GHL or Solex locks?? - not being a smart arse either - just curious to know if these things do really tend to stop break in's or not?? I've never seen a tinted window smashed but having tried getting old tint off I would imagine it would be pretty hard to fuck with, specially after the window was in thousands of pieces!

For all you other guys just dropping by here - DON'T BUY SHIT THAT HAS BEEN STOLEN NO MATTER HOW CHEAP IT IS - IT JUST ENCOURAGES THE CUNTS THAT STEAL OUR CARS TO STEAL MORE OF THEM!!!

If you go to tint a car you can get security window film called Ultratough which is ment to make your windows 7 times more resistant to attack than the usual film.

hey ppl

im 17 and still living at home so putting a carport up is one option but dad wont let me put up a front fence.....

and about putting it in the garage...on one side is dads pajero which is scratched really bad becuase they go 4WD and tthe motorbike gets the other side and he wont push it to the side so we can fit the gems in there..

well about the tints...i havent had the money to get tints at the moment with the way fuel is but i am really intersted
in looking at that ultratough (thanks ben)

well
see you later guys

ive got a good idea that will shock wouldbe car thiefs. all u need is a extra heavy duty truck battery in the boot, a relay of some sort n a step up transformer. (it helps if u know an auto electrician). basically it acts like an electric fence through the car body. u only have to disconnect the ground on the car battery so it doesnt ruin ure wiring. and it really hurts as someone tried to flog my car from a dingy carpark. we found the guy in the gutter convulsing, so we kicked the shit through him n left..
