hi people i live in cranbourne and the last few night i have had the same white vy commodore going past very slowly and then last night a tow truck at 1am stopped out front when i went out it took off and then this morning i go outside to find my car that i park against the door of my shed door lock is now screwed not sure what time this happened but im pretty sure someone is after my vlt has anyone else in cranbourne having any trouble like this it may have just been someone trying to get home and looking for a quick steal and the tow truck and white car coincidence maybe who knows

wouldn't be surprised mate, i live in junction village.. i have a pretty alert dog that barks at the slightest noise outside though. Did have my work car broken into a few years ago, lost about 4k worth of snow gear and cricket gear. PM me what the tow truck looked like if u want.

Mother ***ersss keep watch dude

Let the cops know so they can keep a look out if they see a white wagon and a towie cruising around late at night. Although this could backfire if you mention you own a modified car... it might be a tow truck and a white and blue wagon pulling up.

yeah knowing my luck they would be the ones to turn up but then again that would be better than thieves turning up and taking it....im buying an alarm for the shed tomorrow with a camera so hopefully that should keep it safe as well as a few other things ---------- Post added 18-11-11 at 18:52 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by deanoVLCT [View Post] Mother ***ersss keep watch dude yea i will be watching closely

Alarms and cameras wont stop someone taking your car

I would def let the cops know, modded car or not, the cops wont care. There are still stolen crime rackets in Melbourne. VLTs make quick easy cash. Can I park my car at yours?

wow, they seen to be persistent. Try get a photo of the truck and post it so others can keep a eye out for it. What color is the truck, any signage? I have a big dog if ya want to borrow it. lol You should get a few mates over and sit in the dark and wait. It was a little sceptical at the start but you cant be to careful but since they have been there twice I dont doubt you for a second. Unfortunately my car is insured for more than its worth so I can only sit here in hope.

Interesting. I wonder if its someone that works night shift and brings the truck home? Would be super stupid to be driving the same truck up the same street each night if you're going to knock a car off. Hopefully cops will go and visit them at work and enquire to what they were doing seeing as there was an attempted theft.

wow ill be taking extra care now

park the car at a mates house for a week or so. make it dissappear so to speak. i'd be freaking out if i was you. got a mate or grandparent or sister's boyfriends cousins you can leave it at?

yea its not here as of today its going walkabout for a while its going to my tuners workshop to get a few thing done so its as good as hidden anyway thanks for the reply though

Them particular tow trucks you mention have owner drivers, and company trucks, but even the company drivers take the trucks home, and i know a few who work for them that know how to bypass the GPS in the truck to do cash jobs on the side so i wouldnt put it past someone using a work truck to knock cars off. shame there are scumbags like this out there but all we can do is lock the cars away at night as best we can, other than that make sure you have insurance!
