Default My Day!

As some of you may know I broke my radiator last week. Was super excited that my new one got delivered yesterday, and decided to install it today and hopefully have my car running again tonight after nearly two weeks of not having driven it.

Woke up at 9am today, and starting removing my old radiator. I managed to get it out, with next to no trouble. Which for me generally NEVER happens. I was quite happy as it seemed I was on track to get it finished by tonight.

About 11.30 I decided to head out to Subaru Wangara to pick up some coolant for the new one before i installed it. I also got some lunch and done some other errands.

I ended up getting home at 1.30 ready to put in the new radiator and get the car going. When I walked into this:

My mums room absolutely trashed with jewellery and ipod etc stolen:





My room, trashed and my car keys stolen as I was driving a different car:



My car which was sitting in the garage, had been unlocked by the key, my DVD player deck was ripped out several fuses blown in the process, garage remote taken, and pretty much everything from my glove box stolen.



Lucky I had my brant keypad and no radiator or inter cooler currently in the vehicle, so they couldn't steal it. But I can see these guys coming back and giving it another crack.

Hopefully the insurance will fork out.

make sure you reset the rolling code on your door, rendering the remote they have useless

Say they stole your radiator,
claim insurance and get fitted for free.
Sell new radiator.
Profit


Major pain in the arse!

Yeah it is a bit of a dodgy area, have lived here all my life, about a year ago I had some stuffed nicked from the backyard but this is the first time somebody has gotten inside my house. Very very frustrating.

On the other hand, if anybody comes across a Pioneer AVH-P4250DVD, up for sale in the next couple of days, on gumtree etc. Shoot us a PM and I will chase it up. Cheers

Probably been watching you for a while, and probably happened shortly after you left. Damn sucks though, i know how it feels to be broken into also. Hope it all works out.
