Car Theft

[Benny]

I thought I'd put this out as a warning to all people who are driving performance vehicles and value their car and safety.

This following artilce I took from the paper over the weekend of my brother in-laws experience last week at Tuggerah.

He had just bought a 96 model GTR V spec from a person in QLD. The vehicle was trucked down to the Central Coast and delivered to a local mechanic to be inspected and modified to be registered. The vehicle was at the mechanics for three days unmoved or driven before he had to drive the car to the RTA to be inspected.

Upon leaving the RTA, which is only minutes from the mechanics he stopped at a local shopping centre to do some things when he was confronted by two armed men in a stolen car which told him they were going to take his car. He grudgingly ablidged for fear of his life.

Thankfully his car was found later in an underground car park all locked up, obviously awaiting transport once the heat had died down.

So everyone out there please be aware of what society is coming to these days and be careful when stopping at lights and intersections. I know this kind of thing is hard to avoid but keep your eyes open, it can happen anywhere.

I've witnessed a couple of carjackings in the middle of Sydney the last few years, so it pays to not only be aware of your surroundings but have a plan if you do get caught in this sort of situation.

This is where I believe a Tracker is of most use here. You can either hit the "panic button" before you exit your car or call in the theft straight afterwards and wait while the police nab the . At least I know that my T won't be too far away if some tries to pull my "fat ass" out of the driver's seat.

Yep,no use arguing if someone sticks a gun under your nose,better off give 'em the car,ring your tracking company or your insurance company and let them worry about it

If they haven't got a gun,different story,just pull out your gun and watch 'em run

Umm I think there is a massive difference between a GTR and a XR6T.

I can't think of why anyone would want to car jack my XR6T
