I spoke with the insurance assessor on the phone this morning and he's informed me that even though it's supposed to be difficult to bypass a transponder key as fitted to a Cruiser and other vehicles - it's easy if you know how.
He told me of a new upmarket Holden that had one of these ECU transponder key systems that had been stolen and it took 'em 3 minutes to bypass the system.
Gone in 3 minutes!
I'll have some better pics of my truck on here soon hopefully. I've just found 'em in the backblocks of my PC.
The theft is to be fully investigated as it is in all cases of upmarket and expensvie vehicles. So it'll be a long time before I get any pay out - assuming they can't recover the truck. Which means not much prospecting this year!
I'd rather have the truck back thanks.
Thanks for reading. Thanks for listening guys.

Bilbo,
Sorry to hear about your loss.
We have same truck and know what you are missing, especially when you spend the time setting it up how you want it.
Where was it stolen from? Your yard, street, shops?
Head up mate, things will work out.
"Prickle"
ouch!!!

Ya know, we've all read in the papers of late about "The Muslim Threat" and "Muslim will take us over" etc,etc.
Well, at a time like this, I reckon a Muslim takeover would be a great idea. That way we get Muslim Sharia Law.
"Steal once, ya lose yer left hand, steel twice, yer lose yer right hand, steal again - yer dead"
Seems like a top idea to me.
Just a shame they don't drink beer!

That would be a bit harsh, if you take any notice of the adds around at the moment most people with an MP3 player would have no hands.
