ok guyz.... after 4 mths of ownership my baby is GONE!!!! thats right.. stolen from macquarie centre car park at North Ryde today. I discovered it when i came back to it after work round 530pm... thought maybe i parked elsewhere.. but then i saw my drivers side window smashed and left on the ground...

i dont always park in the same spot so i dunno... professional theives i guess..the thing is my car has the standard immobiliser and no extra alarm as havent got around to gettin one...

stock no bodykit
rego: AMF-28F
blue LED park lights..

and a smashed drivers side window!!

already reposrted to cops and JUSTCAR insurance so lets see what happs...

thanks guys..

 

Yikes! SK2K, sorry to hear about your loss. It must have been awful discovering the broken glass.

Is this car park a busy shopping centre type one or an office building type one? Like, would there always be people around or would it be deserted during the day?

Do you think they were able to get it started & drive away or would they have been able to winch it onto the back of a flat-bed truck and carry it away? Up until now we hadn't heard of any cases where a thief was able to beat the immobilisor. Previous thefts have been done with a tow truck.

How many keys did the previous owner give you when you bought it?? There should have been two black (full) keys and one grey (valet) key for a total of three.

 

wow, macquarie centre has CCTV so ask the security for their footage, they keep it for a month.

i have never had any problems parking cars at mac centre and i go there nearly everyday.

just let me know whereabouts you park so i can avoid that area, i generally park in the areas that have high traffic.

unbelievable really, hope u get this sorted out.

 

if they had keys, i dont think they would be smashing glass

 

If they had keys they would deliberately leave broken glass there to give the impression that they didn't have keys.

 

Sad to hear that mate...... Mac Centre has been known for a few car thefts... I have spoken to one owner who had their skyline GTS-T stolen there and recovered about 2 weeks later with only the radio gone....

although I don't know if I'd want the car back then....

 

The way they do it is to take keys and an ECU. They smash the glass, replace the ECU, force the ignition, but have the key near the sensor so the immobiliser is deactivated.

 

Damn! sorry to hear that!.. i thought the immobilizer is part of the ecu.

How long untill you hear from the insurance company?? Are they going to provide you with a get around car?

Sorry to hear that news!

 

bro... this is fcked up ! and its just un-Australian ....

hope things work out for you ... feel your pain bro

 

Sorry to hear man.. just thursday a DC2R type r was stolen in Chatswood as well....
