Just thought i would let every one know that there has been 7 VL Turbo's stolen in the last week in southern Tassie and not found as yet. I've been talking to a friend of mine and there is meant to be a group of people down from the mainland targeting Commodores and espiecially Vl Turbos. Just thought i would let every one know just to be a bit careful.

That’s pretty bad. Maybe we need to find an alarm installation sponsor or at least make people aware of the costs of installing alarms/immobilisers. Cause 7 is a crazy number in just one week, especially if it could of been prevented! Hope they catch em and have the cars returned if its not too late.

That must be nearly every VLT in southern Tasmania!

[Howie-VL]

lucky mine doesn't have a driveshaft in it at the moment, makes it a bit hard to drive away

someone broke into that pink VLT from midway point,
a mate bought it, had it parked in his driveway up in moonah
they smashed the dibby window and stole his extra set of keys
that he stupidly left in the car, but they never got his car

Be worth wiring in a kill switch, key wont help at all.. also an easy fix for anyone else that cant afford an immobiliser, long as u hide it

I wonder if it's anything linked to those kids that were rounded up on the roof of that house in Bridgewater last weekend?

That's a horrid number of cars to be stolen.... surely there's better ways of sorting out the numbskulls that are taking them

[Fluffy Llama]

Lets setup a sting! Umm how about we use your car dan as the bait.

hey if you do decide you want to use it as bait, wait till I have mine done so I can have a crack at trying to catch it in a real life situation

[SSLS1]

no offence dude, but i think vlt might be heritage listed by then

[V8RMBL]

haha... thinking the VE might be on the Heritage list too

[NAtunedRB30]

kill switch hey? i think i might get me one of them.

some one tried to steal my VL the other night but luckily enough it wasn't going at the time so i came back to greet my VL with a smashed back window and the ignition barrel pulled out and a flat battery
