Darwin Crime (78 series ignition isolation switch)

No different to several NW towns and area's in Western Australia. Totally out of control with no real support to the front line (police) by weak kneed politicians and do Gooders let alone the pathetic judiciary system. But hey, it's very important to put emphasis on apologies and name changes to towns and points of interest. That will improve the situation, not.
And don't get me started on the flag or should I say flag's situation !

Unfortunately we are the once that are discriminated against…..

When we were in Kununurra around 6 weeks ago, we were in a shop when a local man had a sports top over his shoulder and just walked out the store, the cashier did not say a thing and the security guard was the same.

What is the bet, that if it was me, I would have been detained and police called.

I mentioned it to another person in the shop and she said that if the police were called, there would be reprisals from his family members and most likely trash the store, so they regarded it as just part of business.

Same as when we were on our way up and in Alice I was speaking to a couple of local Police.

He said they were having mega problems with young kids 9 and 10 smashing car windows in the street,

When they get caught, nothing happens and they are fighting a never ending battles.

There was going to be an AFL match in Alice and the local police and elders had a round table meeting…..if the crime did not stop, they were going to cancel the footy match, but we left before it was scheduled to be played, so don’t know the outcome.

I would like to post my thoughts on Indigenous crime in this country after travelling this big brown land for fifty years - ten of which running an Outback 4wd and motor cycle tour company and how it effected my paying guests (most from overseas) and myself but I won't - for two reasons !

1) I will be labelled a racist !

2) I have a special number birthday coming up in a couple years and should I start telling the good folk on here about ALL the trouble I've had over the years I would probably miss my own birthday celebration lol


Happy safe and hopefully crime free travels

Cheers

Ps - I have met some wonderful and fabulous indigenous people on my travels who would give you the shirt off their back on a freezing night and then give you their last bit of food if you were hungry but sadly these " REAL " first Australians are now becoming few and far between !

Hi Michael

Yep, that's sort of what I'm leaning towards. Whatever I put in needs to be basic, I can't have it crap itself out bush.

"Another option is to make up a small circuit so you just have to touch a metal screw head somewhere on the dash while you turn the key."

A friend had that arrangement on one of his cars pre proper immobilisers. Concealed wiring under the bonnet and dash. Very effective.

Not worried about them getting the keys, they won't get those as the lovely young guy who broke into our house found out last year. If I'm not driving the car they live in the safe. I guess they could be stolen by low life at camp spots. Thinking Litchfield etc and back packers here. They wait for you to jump in for a swim, grab your gear and bolt. Not sure if most would be game enough to actually take the vehicle though as they would realise that would be going beyond petty theft.

Briste, my Aurion came standard with that "flashing red light". I have never been sure if it does anything else, like arming an alarm?
The Sprinter on the other hand came with a fancy PIR system that detects any movement within the cabin. I had to disable it as when we are 'locked within' at night we could not move without triggering it!
But it still has the 'flashing red light', whatever value that may be.

Yep, I have the bogus flashing light and the stickers on the windows. Been broken into 3 times..............

IMMACULATE FTE with 100k on the clock....................., not sure which they would choose. I know which one I'd put my life on out bush :-)

Hi Ron

Not a silly idea, thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks
