I had my vl stolen and the cops found it completely burnt out and a complete write off a few hours later. The reason why i am writing this is because i want people to know that there a sad people out there who think it is fun to steal a car drive it 10k's and burn it, i know most people will know this, its just mine was stolen from out the front of my house in a residental area in a cul-de-sac, most of my neigbours couldn't believe it and said it must have been someone i knew when i asked them if they saw anything. I am just lucky i decided not to mod the car and just keep it as a typical first car. when herd it drive off and tryed to chase on my motorbike but by the time i got my helmet on they were long gone. Anyway, thats my sad story. i hope nobody else has to go through this, i would rather have some stuff stolen out of it and have it still driveable than to have my mode of transport completely wrecked

Thats why you buy a decent alarm......Sorry to hear mate, was it insured?

insurance and alarm were on the to do list as i had only had it a few weeks. but it only cost me $2g so ill just have to work hard and watch my spending to make up for the loss for a few weeks, i am starting to get over the car im just annoyed about them burning her

yeah i know how you feel scumbags stole my fist car and burnt here okay it was nothing flash but it was mine and you feel violated and also i lost some stuff that had alot of sentimental value that i'll never be able to get back. Sory to here that mate hope it all tuns out for ya

ooh man.. i feel your pain.. Thats hte worst thing anyone can do to your car.. Id feel so sick in the gut if i woke up in the morning to realise that my car was stolen and later found out it was burnt out.. total waste of a car... bad luck dude... JUST REMEMBER.. any littel form of an alarm/immobiliser slows down the thief getting the car stated and stolen.. AND VL's arent the ahrdest cars to steal..

There wasent much in the car and wasent that flash, but now i can't drive anywhere thats the down side, if they down some damaged and it got retured with a few dints etc, it wouldn't have been as bad cuz at least i would be able to drive it. We also have a little bit of info about the car and the aproximate area they live but the cops can't follow it, we are just going to go for a cruise though the suburb for a look later on.

4n6r3w i dont think u realise how easily vl's can be stolen no point leaving a car on the street that can be broken into and driven away with another vl key

1. Alarm/Immobiliser 2. Insurance

i had been informed they r one of the easiest to break into before i got the car which is why the next thing i was gunna get was insurace then maybe a car alarm unless i really needed anything that broke. i have learnt the hard way, i am not gunna get another car (without an alarm) unless i have enough for the car plus a decent security system and put it in as soon as i can.

even make up some good quality kill switches next time if u cant afford an alarm

Hope the rain stays away for a while so you can get around on your bike buddy! Sorry to hear...

well...they came back for the car that was parked next to mine and we got there number plate and the cops got them. Im just glad the cops got them and not me

so they'll be paying for the damage?

id sure like to think so

well, the cops said they have to link them, obviously it was them cause we recognised the sound and they were about to steal the other car when we came outside, so we r just waiting on the cops now

you think you`ve been fcuked over... my bt1 that had 10g`s into her was stolen 3 days ago i found it out bush 2 days after.. on its roof,, mags gone, dinted and smashed everything windows/ panels, only parts worth salvaging are the donk and driveline as i think tehy are not finished stripping it .. My car was stolen from my driveway in a cal-de-sac too.. It had alarm.immobilizer .. but no insurance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
