With all these a%&holes pinching cars lately I was wondering if all of the cars that are getting pinched are older ones and if the data dots on the newer models really seem to be doing the job or the tossers are pinching anything and don't seem to care.

Arn't newer Subarus supposed to be one of the most difficult cars to steal compared to other mainstream manufacturers? GD model WRXs etc...

Unless we all start walking around with blacklights and looking at the Datadots when buying 2nd hand goods I don't think it really is going to make a snot of differance.

Major car theft and re-birthing maybe but not for commonly sold parts.

*** A word of advice ***

Keep you car keys on you at all times even when vistiing friends. Hide your keys at night when home and if possible install a hidden ignition kill switch

**********************

This particularily applies to WRX's without the immobiliser keypad.

Go to sleep with them. They'll have to wake you up to get em.

Heh, i keep both set of keys in the bedside next to me at night. I also carry one set around with me even when i'm not driving the rex.

Stack that Cheese

Yeah...good idea if you want your head bashed in or you want to be stabbed....if they really want it they'll take it .....it's just a car.....just make sure your insurance is payed up in full, that's my only advice.

Trust me, when some c@nts got a baseball bat raised about to smash your head in cause he can't find your keys....you'll hand them over real quick along with a slice of your mum's best chocolate cake......

YEP 100% agree. Thats exactly why i keep my keys in any easy to find spot near the front door.. Its really not worth someone hurting me or my family to steal a car.. I'd rather them in and out asap.

Also i have a good insurance policy

All the added security these days is a bit of a catch 22. Cars are harder to steal so you just target the owner instead. I mean all you need is someone willing to lie down in the middle of a quiet road when a nice car is coming. Of course the driver is going to stop and when they do, you just have people hiding and hijack the car..

Similar thing happened to an immediate family member and her boyfriend at the time.. Luckily they got away with only a few scratches and bruises.

The Brant, 9 odd immobilisers, data dots and the like means the new ones are hard to nick, so long as they have the factory alarm setup still.

The only new age ones I've heard being stolen have different alarms fitted.
