Need4Speed Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Insurance companies tell me my Supra is a high risk car as far as theft is concerned. Has anyone on here actually had one stolen, and if so in what circumstances. I remember Snowman had his nicked on a forged bank draft, but what about normal "where's my Supe gone?" theft.

Alex Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Cough I can break into a Supra in about 20secs without damaging the car cough. But beyond that I have no idea... EDIT - I only found that out when I locked myself out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a guy who works at a college who had his nicked, in Bristol IIRC. I'll see if I can find the original thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 OK it wasn't Bristol : http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18473 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 There was another one about a year or so ago, up North also. They got it on CCTV, two guys got in, opened the bonnet and drove away in I think 25 seconds. The car had a properly fitted CAT 1 alarm fitted......

kghelmet Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 as far as insurance goes i`ve been quoted a lot cheaper for a supra tt then the calibra turbo le i sold last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted August 7, 2004 Author Share Posted August 7, 2004 Stealing the keys is an obvious one, but usually even I can't find my keys in my own house. Now I have the ultimate anti-theft device... the car has no wheels on it! And as far as insurance goes i`ve been quoted a lot cheaper for a supra tt then the calibra turbo le i sold last month. in that case I won't dell my Supra and by a Calibra Turbo:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 You raised a good point there fella. If you consider the size of this club and the proportion of overall supe owners contained within our club statistically speaking supes just don't get knicked. Add to that the fact that most on this forum would be in the Modded to be more attractive to thievin mutha's category thats actually quite good. So Mr insurance man is again talking out of his bung hole.. On a different note the getting into cars real quickly thing reminded me of summat, jake what happened to that jag that was parked outside?

jusie Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 my insurance has acyually come down from my last car which was a subaru WRX. I asked the insurance company why and he said that more subabrus get taken for ram raiding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Yeah cos supe's just wouldn't be much cop for ram raidin unless you were after very small very valuable items lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Originally posted by kghelmet as far as insurance goes i`ve been quoted a lot cheaper for a supra tt then the calibra turbo le i sold last month. Not the only one. I'm paying £300 less for my modded TT fully comp than my cali turbo tpf&t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffvalenti Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Yeah, they don't like Calibras. I'm paying less for my TT (and previously MR2 turbo) than a V6 Calibra, madness I know, but that's insurance for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 I want another calibra but they are VERY easy to steal! Not a good idea for those who like to keep their motors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
