illusionzzz Member 180 Member For: 19y 2m 17d Posted 20/06/07 01:07 PM Share Posted 20/06/07 01:07 PM Hey guys, Bit of interesting info...At the State of Origin last week my mates XR6T got broken into at the Hombush P1 carpark. It was really bizarre as getting into the car we noticed nothing wrong. Start the car and start to drive away and he cant find his ipod in the console (Which I watched him put in there). It was gone... nothing else in the car was missing, nothing was in plain sight either. So we jump out of the car and can see the tiniest bit of damage under the plastic door handle surround about the size of a tiny knitting needle, on the drivers side. Are our cars really that easy to get into?I guess not as easy as the rumours flying around about the VE. Where if you jump on the roof hard enough apparently all the doors are meant to unlock, as if the car has rolled. I've heard this through people who know people etc etc so could be total bullsh*t...Anyways I'm a bit worried... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 21/06/07 04:21 PM Share Posted 21/06/07 04:21 PM The story about jumping on a commodore's roof to unlock the doors has been around since the VT came out. Might try it out next time I see a VT/VX/VY/VZ/VE in the carpark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 10 minutes of moving hands up and down on the rear passenger window he had it open. He didn't have rear power windows though. Still, I thought being able to do that was pretty dodgy on Ford's behalf. Edited 22/06/07 05:39 AM by leigh86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
