fellas to tell u the truth before my baby was stolen.. i was booked in for quick track,, $1000 install fee $1 a day after that.. when your car moves.. or someone breathes on it they call u up.. the most safest thing for your beast.. *** insurance even if they tow it the coppers will be right behind them.. when the coppers are behind them.. the quicktrack company switch the car off.. so no high speed chases no crasahes etc.. wouldnt u love to be behind the blokes that are in it that would be a dream.. just shove the pigs out the way and fark them up for all the cars they have stolen.. guys i think it is a good thing to install to protect your assett and baby ! Not a day passes where i dont think of the ass holes.. I suppose every one on here is sick of me bitching and moaning all the time about her which i can understand.. as u all noticed i am a enthusiast and very passionate about VL's and disturbed hard!!!!!!!!! Some friends of mine called me up a month ago in the middle of the night they said they saw it at the runs in campbelltown with dif plates obviously.. still chasing it up cant get his details newhere.. neone from syd got any friends in the RTA or insurance companies that can help?? I am willing to fork out to get this address Andrew Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Sat tracking has been overcome by thieves. Car will still be damaged and stolen anyway so you're paying lots for only half a result There is no foolproof system

So like I said at best the car is still damaged from being broken into, hotwired etc. Then do you claim on insurance or pay for it yourself to save your NCB???? Problems apart from above are 1.Tracking systems have to be wired in with an aerial to send a signal. Thieves have worked out where to find the aerial and remove them or just disable the whole shibang 2. Many thieves steal a car and if they suspect it has a tracker will drive it to a location where the tracker won't work ( office block carpark etc etc) They then leave the car there for a few hours and if it hasn't been recovered will take it again or strip it at the location 3. Tracking systems don't work everywhere 4. Install cost and monitoring costs are considerable and like I pointed out above the car can still be stolen 5. So what if they call you when the alarm goes off? " Sir good news your cars just been broken into and stolen again " If you want to by all means ring them yourself but ask them will their device stop your car being broken into or stolen?

Most of the people that steal vls are small time theives around the ages of 16-25 though. they only target them cos theyre easy to breakin/steal and a popular car, there not professional car theives like in "Gone in 60 seconds". Now farenough u do hav the odd ones that no their stuff but chances r unless it is something they really want, most wouldnt know how to get past the GPS or ur average alarm.
