Makes ones blood boil. Just read his post, and he had some sentimental stuff in there thats now gone.
The words I want to use right now would get me banned from this place quickly...

A flogging is in order. Cops will do their best and judicial system will slap some wrists :(

That's why I haven't fixed my exhaust system yet. My GU wakes the neighbourhood up....

I think the tracker is a good idea but what do you do if you rarely drive your car as it needs constant power.

I guess just keep the battery on charge...

They dont need a lot of power. But yes keeping the battery charged would help.

I put certain measures into play on one of ours that rarely gets driven and of late I have even thought about chaining the wheel to the diff housing.

Could just disable it. Pull out the drag link or something like that. Take the gear stick out with it left in neutral. Easy stuff to put back in to drive it, but enough to make it undrivable for undesirables.

I really thought this was more of a problem for people in the city. Farking cockroaches.

Yes I worry about mine as it won't fit in the carport as it's too high, the dog makes lots of noise if anyone comes around and I have sensor lights over the car as well but if they want it they will take it no matter what you do :(

Many are broken up and sent to the Middle East for sand racing parts........or so the story goes. It's quite a racket I believe.

This is one of my mates cars, pretty disappointed about it.. And the previous owner was one of my mates as well. . It's a very tidy rig so I hope he gets it back soon
