JamieP Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Just read on the hsv forum his car was stolen from his home today, broke in and took the keys, keep your eyes peeled and report to police if you see it.

The Raven Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Shit, Did they rob the house? or was it a planned break in to get the car? Worrying if its the later as they are stealing to order. Hope he gets it back safe and sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I heard about this today. Sadly one of the downsides to sharing your car details/pictures on forums; makes it easier for scum to "shop". I hope he gets it back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Would something like this hang around local shores? Surely it is a bit too obvious being a high profile car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 It's got to stick out like a sore thumb. I don't think I've ever seen one in the wild. Probably will go abroad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonball Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 wow, poor guy, hope the dogs get caught and raped by big hairy men in US prisons. Strange - not the first thing that springs to mind - but hey... Once had a house break-in happen to me when I had the skyline - they even left and moved the wallets to show they were just after the car! Always take my keys with me and house alarm on now! Hope it is not too trashed when he gets it back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Bad news but I'm surprised considering the level of expenditure on it that it doesn't have a Tracker on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 That's unluckly. Wonder how many of us expect our cars to be stolen. I always expected my sports cars to get nicked as they always stand out in the street like a saw thumb despite not being the most expensive cars in the street. Been lucky it's never happened to me yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_aero Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Any car worth over £10k in mods should have a tracker. There is an insurance company which puts a tracker on your car as part of the policy and they have very very low premiums as a result. I'll try to find out the name again..

supra_aero Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 http://www.coverbox.co.uk/tracker.php No idea how competitive their rates are for supras as don't have one anymore but they were very very good for my mate. Almost halved his insurance quote and he gets a free tracker too. And best thing is if you use less mileage than you quote they refund the difference!! Due to the tracker they can work that out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratty Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I have a tracker fitted to mine. I use Smartrack. It cost me £120 to get installed. I paid Smartrack one payment of £250 and I am covered for as long as I own the car. I forgot all about the tracker until I got a phone call one day to tell me my car was being moved without the keys being in the ignition. It was actually on Konrads trailer at the time.. They offer a great service and see it as a good investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Any car worth over £10k in mods should have a tracker. There is an insurance company which puts a tracker on your car as part of the policy and they have very very low premiums as a result. But many people see a car that has been thrashed to an inch of its life through 'joy riding' as not worth the hassel of getting back. A friend of mine had a tracker fitted to his pride and joy and it was stolen and recovered via the tracker. The car lasted about another month before it broke the engine. But I know what you're saying....a tracker will mostly mean that the theiving scum life will mostly not have time to break the car up before its discovered via the tracker. Many of the thieving scum steal a car then park it somewhere for a day to see if the police use the tracker and recover it. If not then they assume vehicle doesn't have tracker or its broken....they'll then come and take the car to be broken up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 See what you mean. But I'd prefer to recover my car with £20ks worth of mods, yet the car is worth £15k. Engine blows and I can source a new engine and rebuild at £4k or less. Or even better its got £2.5ks worth of cosmetic damage to bodykit/wheels etc. Rather than get an insurance cheque for £15k, and I'd have to start all over again or buy a used one which is not to my original spec at all. Each to their own I guess. I know what I'd do each and everytime. And all you guys with high spec'd supras and cars, I'd put tracker on my garage spec even if it didn't have one to put off theives. No way they'd tell if it has one or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MYM8V8 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hey Guys, Thanks for the sentiments expressed here, cheers Jamie. What we all have in common is a love of our pride and joy. All I hope is that the c*nts who stole it, kill themselves in it at some stage. Cheers G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
