Xr6 And Xr8 Thefts In The Illawarra.....

[RegSpec]

I have posted this as a separate thread to make owners aware of this problem occuring in the Albion Park general area.

After my previous post below........

Ok, an update......

After talking with the Police this morning, they told my soninlaw that 8 cars were targeted within a 5k radius of his home in Albion Park.

They are sure that this an organised deal as , apart from my daughters Ghia, "all' those targeted were "XR6 and XR8 " BA-BF Fords and the Police said that if they find one, then they are confident that they will find all of them.

Out of 8 targeted cars, they got away with 5 of them on Monday night......3 other attempts were foiled by either dogs or being otherwise disturbed...on one occasion they were chased by an owner and fled to another waiting XR sedan (probably already stolen) and got away.

The Police feel that they are casing the residential areas and looking for easy targets, especially double storey homes with garages underneah or separate.

So the message to all our friends in the southern Woolongong to Albion Park area is......secure your cars guys, at least until they bust these dropkicks.....

that's some good info Reg. Anyone that lives down that way should take note and double check how they lock their cars up at night or when they are out

Lucky mine is off the road atm.

The cops should set up a sting to catch them out

that's a bit close to home, thanks for the info.

How are they starting the cars? Are they breaking in to get the keys?

[ETM]

yep

[instro]

Just read your other thread. Dont know what would be worse, the fact that someone took the cars or the fact they were in your kids house.

Hopefully Karma will get them.

Fkn scumbags, Nothing worst than a heroin fuelled junky trying to steal your car.

My dad caught a guy out front of our house back in the day (12-13 years ago) he was trying to get into dads smicko VK calais at 2am.

Dad standing on the porch in his jocks (all 6'5 120kg of him lolz) says, what the f*ck are you doing dickhead...walks over to him, whilst the guy fueled off his brain on some sort of drug is paying no attention to him, still trying to get into the car.

Dad grabs him, belts him that hard it should have knocked his head clean off, the guy slumped to the ground and then within an instant, sprung up and tried to do a roundhouse karate kick...lolz Dad blocks it, but in the process breaks his little finger.. (still rooted to this day...

The f#%$# runs off, with Dad in tow, catches up to him and pushes him headfirst into the gravel road.

The guy scrambled away, but was identified the following week as a guy who looked like he had been hit by a garbage truck, swollen and bruised, with gravel rash on his face.

ohh the joy...of catching one of these scumbags in the act.

Thanks for that. It's a bit too close to home.

Hopefully the cops can catch some real criminals for a change!!!
