vl commodore most stolen 2 years in a row here in NSW im pretty sure

any form of alarm/club lock straight away deters a theif from attempting to steal a vl. They are the easiest to steal. Most doors will open from a screwdriver and you can start them with either a house key, another vl key or a shifter straight on the butterfly clip then turned to turn the barrel and start the car. Most theives are just kids my ages wanting a bit of an adrenaline rush n a thrash session. You can do thingfs in other peoples cars you wouldnt dare to do in your own and if it gets smashed who cares its not your car. Word gets around very fast about how to steal what, hyundai excels can be stolen with a pair of scissors. The average kid isnt gunna carry a spare steering wheel (gone in 60 seconds style) and change them over so that they can steer a car with a clublock. Try not to ever park your car out in the street and dont leave valuables inside your car visable. This makes it alot easier for the thief and alot harder for you to hear them. If the car was in a driveway it would probably require pushing out which theives dont always want to do. If you own a good head unit take the face plate off unless you have a decent alarm. The majority of thieves arent professional, and the professionals arent really after vl's, they want higher end cars like wrx's and stuff they can strip and sell. Another good detterent for vl owners are those solex door barrels, they definately cant be opened with a screwdriver and lead to alot more time wasting for the theif. A theif does not want to waste time they want to be in and gone. If your car looks too hard they will just keep looking as there are plenty of vl's around. Thats just my experiences and advice im 16 but ive learnt alot on the streets which helps me prptect my own car.

lol lock up your babies

wtf,...I just posted in this thread and its gone.......?

thats happens lol yeh with a vl u need a good alarm, was the 1st thing i did, whats the point of doing up a car mad if all it takes is some jerk to steal it.

yeah, I think a lot of people substite security for mods, are left scratching their head when their car isnt where they left it....

whenever mine leaves the sealed compound that is my house (electronic access gates plus its in a carport round the back that you'd have to push it UPHILL to get it out) im driving it, i dont drive the calais turbo to go anywhere, i drive it like once a week or 2 and thats always for the sake of driving. So if its not at my house, im in it, full stop.

i have a alarm/immobiliser in my VL, im also looking at getting Solex Locks installed Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i have a immobiliser/alarm, solex locks, tinted widows they can't see **** eg. headunit at night, speakers in the back!

solex locks are stilll pretty ****, get rid of all locks and just get remote central locking.

vls in melborune get broken in2 way too much i seen it happen... cheap ass nz people walk up to the vl as a pack and pull out scissors and jam it into the key slot

you use the leads that are hanging down from your engine bay.. or you leave the lock on your boot and leave the battery in there.
