bs888 Member 207 Member For: 22y 4m 2d Location: Canberra Posted 26/07/03 12:31 AM Share Posted 26/07/03 12:31 AM As I pulled up at work this morning ( about 6am 26/7) I noticed a BA XR6 in Narooma Blue with roof Racks parked near my office. I remembered that it belonged to someone who posts on here but still can't recall who, after parking my Ute I saw some people hanging around the car looking a bit suspicious so I went inside and watched them out the window. After a while when one of them went to an old rough and got something that looked like a wheel brace from the boot I thought it was time to do something, I probably should have rung the Cop's but being a dumb Public Servant I went out to challenge them.As I approached I yelled out " GET AWAY FROM THAT F*&%*$* CAR" and was promptly told to "mind my own business", (or words to that effect) As I got closer I pressed one of the two BA Keypads that I always have in my pocket and to my surprise the Panic alarm on the XR6 went off!These Mongrels just threw the wheel brace at me and ran off, it was then I realised that there was another person in the as it took off in a cloud of smoke. It was too dark to get a Rego or a good description of the pricks but at least I have a good wheel brace now.I had a good look at the car later and luckily there was no damage done.If the owner of the XR6 has a need to park in this area overnight please PM me and I can tell you of a safer place to park.Cheers, Bazza.

I know of a few break ins around the royal theatre.

Posted 26/07/03 07:00 AM Share Posted 26/07/03 07:00 AM Onya Bazza, should be more people like you around.I reckon the best punishment for low lifes like that is give them 6 days basic training in the army, give them a M16 with one clip, a photo of Osama Bin Laden and drop them off in Eastern Afghanistan and get them to do a door knock looking for him.Oh yeah and wearing a 'I Love Israel' T-shirt.
