Car Broken Into

[Munta]

Hey guys just got my vr4 broken into about 30mins ago... the car was park up our long drive 1m away from front door and 2m away from bedroom yet they still broken in... whats worse i was awake at the time and sprinted out the door only to see a car take off fast round a corner so i missed the number plate

They took my valentine 1 radar.. very annoyed if i cant even park up a driveway that you can only see the rear of the car from and thats it.. where am i to park now?

will take photos and post when its lighter outside.

any1 happen to have a spare front passenger window around? already tinted if possible lol

Sorry to hear that mate - they want their balls putting in a very tight vice

[TAR]

Thats crap!! Sorry to hear this.

Report it to the cops, the scum might be cruising around looking for targets.

That sucks dude, was it hidden or just on the dash?

[Munta]

it was just on the dash - but yea i should of had it hidden... going to go take pics now and ill take 1 from the end of the drive so you can see how far off the road it is. rang cops straight away they want me to take the car down to the station for them to take prints. so proly end up doing that this morning as well

[Munta]

pics attached - they made a big mess - i wana kill the pr!cks

[Paul Beazer]

FFS What is wrong with people. Im guessing because it was a long drive they couldn't be seen from the street. Scum, kill 'em all!

[vr4_fanatic]

Sucks dude just had mine recovered reacently
sucks to have to worry hard out about where to park.
Guessing you didnt have an alarm.

[Munta]

the car was alarmed. but they still went for it. heard a thump then alarm went off then i was out the door

Sorry about your loss.

Can I ask where in NZ you are? Am guessing Auckland.

That's a long drive, so I wonder if they saw your V1 and followed you home to steal it?

[VR4 MAD]

Really sorry to see and hear that..............

The whole scenario worries me. Almost doesn't sound random, it's like they 'knew' it was there cause from your photos, your cars miles from the road and looks like any other car up a long drive, nothing special. Remember it was dark too so even harder to till it was worth the risk to them.

Have you noticed anyone hanging around or looking a little out of place or maybe even a car following you home one night recently? Or had a party at your place where people you didn't know arrived as "friends of a friend" type thing?

Do take it to the police, they are useless but you never know, the idiot thieves may have left a print and be on the police database...........

Good luck with insurance and getting it fixed.

Also, watch out for the next couple of weeks cause they know where and what the car is now.............

I always hate reading stories like this - unfortunately I'm no stranger to these sort of events...

I'm wondering if the area where your car is parked is lit at night? If not, this is an open invitation to thieves. A motion sensor security light, if not already installed, would be a good idea.

Is it at all possible to put up a gate to screen the view of the drive from the road - also hindering unauthorised access to the property?

On the bright side, at least your car is still there!

havnt noticed anything like cars following me - i live not far from a school and have school kids that see me come up and down the drive quite alot so could be any1 of them its a real pain in the ass... going to source another window then take it the police.

[Robotnik123]

Oh also watch Trademe for V1's coming up. Especially ones with out manual etc. that are unusually cheap. The thief maybe attempting to flog it off there.

I would recommend asking the police to come to you. It's not recommended to disturb the scene of the crime.

Bad luck dude!

Cops don't come to the scene! Get real dude.
I had my truck broken into, they ripped the number plate off, that was in the back, I'm sure there would of being good prints on that.
The best they could do was send me a letter to say I have reported the break in to the cops!
Really how slack is that!
I catch anyone doing **** they are not meant to do, I will take justice into my own hands.
I have no faith in the cops, not after how little they have done for me in the past.

Even when I was assaulted, all they did was give this person a warning.
But if it was me doing the assaulting I would get done for using deadly weapons!

Dam if you do and damed if dont.

And I thought our cops were bad - the ones here just seem to be lazy, odd considering they don't really have that much on the go to occupy their time

damn gutted bro. had the same thing happen to me last year at my place...luck the v1 wasnt in my car but they took the widscreen mount!!

i didnt bothered with the cops. they didnt give a **** when the mrs car got broken into. and when my bro got smashed coz he tooted his horn a guy who ran a red light they just told him he shouldnt have tooted...

yea i have no time for the cops!

[bradc]

yes of course, because the fvckers won't get any money/get their quota filled/gather revenue from coming out to catch repeat offenders who may or may not have shot an indian shop keeper and lets face it, they've stolen a radar detector, so you know they'll be intentionally breaking the law with that in the future, but I bet that if you drove at 61kmh or 111kmh to get to the police station to tell them about stuff being stolen, you'd get ticketed and get demerit points.

Fire them all I say and bring in the army. Get caught stealing anything, shoot first, questions later. That would stop virtually all robberies overnight
