Talking to Alan from Outback in Seaford, there were 3
winches STOLEN OFF OF CARS at the 4wd show! + Numerous spotties.. This was from secure
parking too..
Now the wife may understand why I didnt take my car there, would be a smorgasboard for pieces of bleep ....

Yeah,
I lost the rear wheel carrier of my 60 series, parked in the front yard, (
Canberra), I actually sat there looking at if for a while wondering why I was so lazy and didnt put the numberplate back in the tailgate when I took the trye carrier off, (it was early in the morning and I was trying to sell the car), before it hit me that I didnt take it off, some mongrel did......... Now the 80 TD bought to replace the 60 stays
well and truly behind the
gate of an evening, (and I've given the two Dobermans we have a bit of a talikng too on their observation skills)
Cheers

Thing that annoys me is that ARB charge you a whopping price for some anti theft nuts. Why they dont support their customers and put the pressure on the manufacture (IPF) and get them included for free. Or maybe i just drop some loctite on them....
Just back from
Darwin and had two little pricks smash the 'Lux passenger window and dig around all my stuff on the backseat and steal 2 cameras. Would have been in the
shop no more than 2-3minutes.
Thought about a car alarm / immoboliser before i went away but didnt want to run the risk of extra electronics breaking down in the middle of nowhere. $3,000 of stolen equipment later and im looking twice at that car alarm.
Pricks...

Glenno, went on a trip in 1997 including a stay in
Darwin and the scumbags were at it then. They target cars with non -
Darwin number plates on the usually correct assumption that there are tourist goodies somewhere inside. Notorious target locations were carparks like croc
farm, museum etc. Pity we tourists stand out so much outside our
home turf thanks to our number plates. Now wouldn't a national licencing system be a good idea!
