hi all my neighbour ownes a red vl v8 supercharged with top loader lic plate hot2tc, the mongreals had stolen out of his garage which was open at the time my neighbour was in the lounge room which was through the wall. he just had finished doing a oil change an took it for a run round the block, when he got home he went inside to the lounge room.Now my neighbour has 3 cctv cameras covering the front driveway,side,and the garage, they are hooked up to a video [DVMR] he made a rule that during whatever programe he was watching occasionally he would switch over to the cameras as you would.. Anyway this one time he forgot to do his rule, he told me he was inside for no longer than 20mins after that he went out to grab a beer from the garage and his pride an joy was gone. we rekon they broke into it an pushed it out theyd have to of because when he starts it up it wakes the dead ... the car was locked but he forgot to put on the kill switches on , it must of been towed away. if anyone sees it can you pm it was taken last friday miday from inside his garage at shellcove.. thanks... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

This is really getting stupid. Can't even leave a car locked a garage. Hope he gets it back, but i think there is no chance. only chance is trying to track parts...

i got an idea. get a big anchor chain like the big ass ships use and tie it round the biggest pole in your house, going to your car with a big mother f-in padlock. pretty hard to make an easy get away...

i hope no one on this sight is actually here to scope out cars, cause that makes them lower. we need vigilante car theif bashing teams. i have contemplated going out for fun on a weekend and leaving a car with windows down in car theif prone areas to lure them into stealing it. only trick is this time it isn't the poilce arresting them that they gotta fear, its 30 angry brother armed with everything. all you need is patience.

sounds like he had it hooked up to a channel, not recording through a vcr, more like a webcam kinda thing, you can view but not record

The stealing of all these VLs in the last few months is f*cking stupid. Proves that these low life c*nts will do anything to get what they want.

Good to hear! At least he got it back in one piece and not a million. That'll teach me not to be complacent about how I park/store the VL too.
