Just thought I'd let everyone know....

On the weekend just past, I was speaking to a couple guys outside the club who were friends of a friend of mine. They started chatting about breaking into cars and how each of them did it and how long it took. Apparently, the new trend that they're doing these days are going onto car enthusiast sites and trademe/zillion sites checking which car to nick. How they choose a car to nick depends on the information and pictures uploaded on these sites.

Got me thinking and I thought... SHYT! we do share alot of information bout our cars on the forum even uploading pictures of them. So I thought I'd ask a few more questions. Apparently they keep a list of each member and the cars they drive or own. Pictures to locate the alarm type, setup, and location, as well as where the car is usually parked.

I was blown away...

Something to keep in mind fellas!

did you happen to say something to the local police about these guys that need to be watched? :-\

Posted

Yep, Even told the security guys to keep an eye on those guys and shared with them what they told me.

While I was back in the club, cops turned up and my mates and I saw them talking to those guys, one of them got taken by the cops... :D :D :D

Security guy said that the guy that was taken was on a curfew and on parol...lol!

LOL so thankfully one sh!tface got a poke in the side from lady Karma. One down, thousands of low-lives left to go...

Good work man, good work. And even better that you're spreading the word...

Im now going to proceed with extra caution when it comes to uploading pictures of my car and giving information about it....

Reckon. I think everyone will be pretty paranoid.

Now's a good time to once again consider more than alarms eh ClubSUB. Kill switches and tracking units...

well duh (at whole thread)

the internet is a public domain!

your number plate usually give them your address and no-one wants to care that you Birthdate is listed in the calender (date + address = unsecured loans)

:)

I know its a public domain JoKer, Im just shocked at the tactics used and thought of sharing. Just letting everyone know to be extra careful if they haven't already..

TM is being used by crim's since ages ago, for moth cars and ripping off houses - show you address usually and where your telly and security sometimes

not new (not a dig at Subiehead either)

they have been using all available info for as long as photo's exist ie real estate window cards list same details usually

Photoshopping out numberplates is just ass..... what happens when they see your car driving around? Are you gonna take the plates off then too?

Paranoia people.... paranoia!

Yep, it's boosting in the negatives now. Put a 1.8 sohc in there to replace the so called bullet proof engine... sheesh. Only thing i could afford to get.

I smashed both my cars up with a hammer the other day, not a window or panel left without major damage.

Am going to poor diesel into the petrol tanks in the weekend. modding cars is so much fun.

For your plates, just do what I do, Register your car under a PO Box, or a mates address, so they'll never find your car. And as a side note, dont have your home address on your drivers license, just leave it blank. Cause quite often they'll steal your wallet and get into your car, find your home keys, and they'll find out where you live from your license

Personally i hope someone torches or steals the wagon. I feel like a change. As long as they steal or torch it within the conditions of my insurance

Reuben....youve been spending too much time with shale.

Yep I have to agree, I register my cars to another address

Better to just invest in a GPS alarm system though, Cost about $700 for the verifind one, which is pretty dam cheap, a bit peace of mind too.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
