I remembered that it belonged to someone who posts on here but still can't recall who Well done Bazza, good job mate :o BTW it wasn't my car as I don't run roof racks and I don't think Pysch runs roof racks either!I wonder why I only park in civic when I have to.

mercturbo Member 696 Member For: 22y 2m 23d Location: Geelong Posted 27/07/03 11:30 AM Share Posted 27/07/03 11:30 AM Don't understate your actions Bazza, it does take guts to front losers like this, others might have just called the cops, but by the time they arrived it would be all over, so well done. I just won't park my "T" in dodgy car parks at night, or even during the day sometimes, I'd rather cab it, get dropped off by family or friends or even take the god dam BUS!! I know its a pain but I've been through the "damage and theft in car park thing" and know this is far more of a pain.

Falchoon I see red Member 5,758 Member For: 22y 5m 25d Location: nowhere in particular Posted 28/07/03 02:34 AM Share Posted 28/07/03 02:34 AM You done the right thing Bazza, cops probably wouldn't of bothered coming. A couple of years ago my car (then XF Falcon) was broken into and CD stereo system stolen and then about a week later I came home late about 11pm to see some guys lurking about in the shadows obviously up to no good. I rang the cops and they weren't interested, said to ring back if/when they steal/break & enter. I told them that my car was done over the week before but they still weren't interested. Sorry, not trying to turn this into a cop bashing thread, just get fustrated at the lack of action from them sometimes but they always seem to be around when you are doing 5km/h over the speed limit on a freeway or similar.

If I have to park somewhere else I make sure that it's near alot of traffic (pedestrian or otherwise) and not in a corner where no one can see it..

bs888 Member 207 Member For: 22y 5m 18d Location: Canberra Posted 28/07/03 09:19 AM Author Share Posted 28/07/03 09:19 AM The car in question was parked in the carpark adjacent to the ACT Legislative Assembly and opposite ACTEWAGL.I know of a lot of people who"s cars have been broken into in this carpark as well as the one further around towards the Hyatt, I don't think I would park my car anywhere in Civic on Fri/Sat nights as I have had a couple of my fleet vehicles damaged in the Assembly parking where there is good lighting as well as signs clearly showing the use of security camera's in the area, but I guess these clowns can't read or just don't give a stuff.Cheers, Bazza.
