Thieves About

[Revolution]

I went to the local key cutters and they told me it couldnt me done.

Honda may be different to every other manufacturer, but just in case try a few others Rev. I have an electronic key but just got a non-electronic one cut for the door. Still you have to hide your electronic key inside the car somewhere. I'm banking that I am smarter than a thief and have a few spots that they won't look in. Make sure that you are smarter than a thief when you are hiding yours.

Under the wheel arch is NOT smarter than a thief. Under the wheel arch is not smarter than a bowling ball.

Put a loaded rat trap just under the wheel arch, and as you go for a surf make a show of fiddling about under the wheel arch like you are putting your key in there. Do not set off the trap

Check to see if it has gone off while you were in the surf and look around for someone wringing their damaged hands.

If you find them, beat them to a pulp!

Same effect can be done with a condom from the night before... Id like to meet a guy who is going to pull a key out of a dom to steal $20.

Guys you can buy these for around $30 online



Totally watertight and you can tuck them into your wetty.

Had one for 4 years now - never had a problem

Trev there was a bloke who used to spy on people doing that at the cotton tree car-park. Mate had his car broken into there along with 5-6 others.

My old boy also caught a druggy checking cars on the hill at alex, chased him off with a verbal barrage

I've been lucky. Went for a surf at Carties a while ago. Came back only to notice I'd left the car unlocked. Also done the same at Alex. Nothing gone.
Mate has lost $500 he left in the car to buy stainless steel for his work at Alex. Left his key in the wheel arch. He now has a surflock.
A couple of weeks back a guy stopped at Alex to check the waves. Car loaded up with boards and he walks across the road. Keys were in the car. Turns around and car is gonnneee. Forget about surfing that day.
Thieves are the lowest.

Yeah that was 'stocky'. Think the car was found in the end unscathed

15 years ago it was all beautiful farmland. Now it's just full of densely packed brick veneer crap that willl be the new south dapto in ten years. Plus all the new 'suburbs' have ghey names like 'woodlands' when the place doesnt have a tree in sight.

I think its f*cked that the houses are going almost to the gate. One of the reasons i stopped going there.

Just glad the council got the boot, i think there may have been something fishy going on.....;... just maybe, but i could be wrong ( don't wanna get sued!! ).

Wasn't it down at the Gong where that councillor was found to be f*cking a couple of developers & a few others were also in their pockets as well? F*cking scumbags. Wollongong locals ought to be forming lynch mobs to deal with these shitbags. Everytime I drive down the south coast, there's less & less green & more nasty looking developments. It's absolutely disgusting.

That's the gong lady councilor, and one of those bastards buildings is built out of regulation, might be it's too high.

For the last few years I've used the 'key holder' on my leggie. Never had a problem with it.

Anyone else use it?

Either that or the key pouch in the wetty, if it has one, preferred. Electronic keys create the problem of having to get a door key cut and then hiding the electronic key inside the car.

But it ain't a big problem. Keeping the key with your person is the best option.

I once went for a 2 hr plus surf at av. Car was in the main carpark. when i got back to my car I realised i'd left the tailgate open. Nothing stolen. I still get cold chills thinking about it.

Yep, have left my garage door open for hours. Everyone rightly assumes that you must be close by, nobody could be that stupid. Reverse thief psychology.

[purple pyramids]

i've had the opposite experience. i've dropped my wallet and other valuables on the ground and had someone come running after me to give it back.
while camping at saltwater creek, i dropped half an ounce of weed. neighbouring campers handed it back to me when i returned.

May have mentioed this on here before but back in 1994 when we moved to Sydney my wife got out of the car in an outside carpark at Castle Towers and dropped her wallet beside the car without realising it.
We went back to the car 2 hours later and drove off. Got up the road an bit and realised there was a piece of paper under the wiper.
It was note from the person who picked up the wallet telling us to go to the police station over the road to pick it up.
We bought in Castle Hill and lived there happily for 14 years.
Lovely people, lovely area.

Last trip to the desert I spent three weeks doing the same.

Left everything at the campsites while surfing all day. At the waves we had to drive to, the keys were left in the ignition and the whole car open. Boards everywhere.

Every second day we'd drive to a baker out on the highway. Paid for the bread with the honour system - whack a couple of dollars in the tin, take your choice of loaves.

You feel good about the world. Thievery just doesn't happen. Lotta drunkenness, yeah. And a fair few blues. But people aren't ripping each other off.

Was living in Glebe at the time. Got back home coated in desert dust. Wallet was ripped off within half an hour.

What, you drove from Im guessing west coast SA to glebe without a stop?

No. Just without a shower.

It's amazing the difference a location makes as far as security goes............

Camping up N/W W.A last year with 3 mates we would leave camp in the morning and piss off for hours most days. Anybody sniffing round our campsite on any given day would have had easy access to slabs of piss, extra surfboards, an outboard motor, wallets with all the usual shit, a truckload of camping gear and food not to mention quality bud. We never went to any lengths to secure any of it.......eskys beside tents in the shade, extra slabs under a tarp next to a tree, combustible paraphernalia in a tin on the camp table in the big tent.........

The place just has the vibe of live and let live and after 3 trips there, i've never heard a story about any shit being stolen there.

Be great if it was like that over here........

Ringy , you forgot to mention, butt plugs, anal lube (the minty fresh kind) and the massive stash of gay male porn you and your "mates" cant go surfing without. Very brokeback mountain !!!

I use to drive a soft-top Suzuki Sierra and it got broke into about a dozen times.

I always had the key in my wettie pocket, only thing in the car was a towell and some clothes...

If I locked the doors, bastards slashed the canopy.

So I left the doors unlocked, bastards slashed the canopy.

Started leaving the doors unlocked and the windows wound down, bastard/dumb cnut got 1 slash in before he realised the windows were down.

My canopy was covered with gaffa tape and dodgy stitching but nothing was ever stolen.
