Rotten thieves! !~@#$%^

Mate - I had my 5' ground independant GME antenna (and base) unbolted off the bullbar, coax cut from my driveway.... (about six weeks ago) - cop this though - also took the (standard) ram head off my snorkel!

Some low life unbolted my UHF aerial while I was parked opposite the Cooloongatta pub a few wekks ago. Had to use a spanner so they must have come prepared. Maybe Karma will get them oneday.

I got hugely p155ed off the other week when I noticed someone had pinched all my steel valve caps. Looking around at all the other bits that they could have taken put's it into perspective though. I got them back though; I bought 2 sets with one set spare for the next time it happens.

Scubaroo. Have been thinking of buying a cheapie myself. What make was it and where did you get it from. I need a cheap one before someone nicks the good one.

Geez, you guys make me laugh at times.

I had the WHOLE bloody Landcruiser stolen!!

$65,000.00 worth!! Never saw it again.

A two bob aerial wouldn't bother me AT ALL!

;) ;)

How about a bit of sympathy for the poor thief . To be a thief you have to be stupid . They are going to be punished all their life by being stupid . How are they going to get educated enough to get a good job when they are stupid ? How do you attract a good wife when you are stupid . How do you have a happy marriage and raise well ballanced children when youare stupid . I can't think of a worse punishment than being stupid . Imagine Amnesty International's response to a suugested punishment of brain surgery to lower a criminal's IQ ! These people are condemned to doing snatch recoveries on the tow ball and over the bonnet creek crossings without a snorkel . It is a real shame when you are effected by the actions of a thief , but remember , he is going to be punished far more than anything you could inflict on him with a pick handle .

Was waiting for the Mrs to return with the Fish & Chips when I heard a call on the Police frequency about something stolen that was roughly behind my place in the bushes. On getting home I went out the back to look at what was going on to see a Police Car & 3 stolen Jet Ski's on trailers. Obviously they were stealing them & leaving them there for a truck (probably Pan Tech) to pick them up later.One of the neighbours spooked them at in the morning. The Council has just put in a walking track that is wide enough for a vehicle to drive on & every low life now has access to grafitti every ones back fence.

I used to live in Sydney(Cronulla). I had a undergroung garage under my unit and always parked my truck in there. One night I gave my mate a hand to take his enhine out of his kombi. We didnt finish till the early hours of the morning and by the time I got home I only had four hours till I had to get up for work. So left the truck out the front thinking that it will be right with all my tools in the boot. Wrong on the four hours between two am and six am when I left for work someone broke into my truck, stole all my tools and even used my tools to take out my stereo, uhf, 4 x speakers and anything else of value. The insurance didnt even covet the cost of 1/5 of the replacment of all my tools. Bloody thieve's. Now I live in WA. But I still lock my car up in a garage every night.

I lost my 4th PLASTIC TOWBALL COVER last week!! Not even a flash silver one, plain old black. Things must be tough. Like someone said earlier, maybe karma will catch up with them. Then they'll need to write a list..... :)

Al jokes aside, it is frustrating when this happens and it does make ya wonder about people.

In hindsight I was glad that I didn't catch 'em in the act. In the 'Crusier, when it was stolen, was a genuine US Marine Corps "Killing Knife". This was the real McCoy and an illegal deadly weapon. Don't ask how I got it. I just did.

I am so sick of this garbage that had I caught 'em I would prolly have used the knife and suffered dire consequences. My wife seems to be able to shrug off these things. I can't, I get really angry about theft.

Also in the car were 50 rounds of ammo. Good job they had the ammo & I had the gun!! But just in case they come back, I now have another 50 rounds!!

The real phisss orff was the attitude of the police when I phoned 'em about the 'Cruiser having been stolen. They didn't want to investigate it, talk to me, come and see the scene of the crime - zilch - and I've never heard another thing from 'em since. Makes yer mad when the West Australian newspaper does a "Crime Watch" column about 2 aboroginal girls shoplifting 2 bottles of Jack Daniels from a bottle shop in Freo - worth about 60 bucks - and a $65,000.00 car goes missing and ya don't hear Jacques Schhitt about it!

Hmmphh!

A friend of mine used to have to park his car on the street outside his house in New Farm in Brisbane. One night the car alarm went off in the early hours of the morning so out he goes to have a look, no one around, no sign of anyone trying to get in etc so he resets the alarm and goes back to bed. Five minutes later the alarm goes off again with the same story. This happened a couple more times until he got fed up and assumed the alarm was playing up so he turned it off. Next noise he heard was the car driving off down the street.

I have to agree that the whole concept of theft gets me extremely irritated, what makes them think they have the right to take things that you have worked and saved for? Insurance never covers it properly and certainly never covers the inconvenience of having to replace things. Sometimes the things that are taken have personal significance way past their value but they are still just gone. I just don't get it. It's odd though, most of that kind of thief doesn't seem to be rich so perhaps they do fall into the stupid category as mentioned above.

The biggest problem here is petty theft is becoming socially acceptable. Be it $15 UHF aerials or a couple of biscuits at Woolies.
Case in point was Tuesday night. My youngest daughter and I went to the movies. Here's this butt ugly bugger foraging in the self serve lollies, great ugly fist shoved and then stuffing them in his semi toothed gob.
I gave him a funny look and his comment was, "you've got to try before you buy" My answer, "pity you're stealing them and have no intention of paying"
He mumbled and muttered and stumbled off with a blank look on his face.

Theft is theft no matter what the value or how it's window dressed.
