You underestimate how much they actually care… they will do a report sure but, further than that it usually don’t do much unfortunately. 😕 I was even hit and run once and I tried following the person, called the police and they still didn’t send a patrol car so the dude got away from me running lights.
car thefts are on a ridiculous rise in Victoria at the moment, around 7 cars we're stolen in the last week where I live. hope your doing alright though
WIRE IN A HIDDEN KEY SWITCH for your ignition further back, in the event they try to hot wire, it won't go anywhere. dont do the kill switch into your fuel pump in case in the rare chance it fails and you lean the engine out on a hard pull these need to be in a garage, locked up, with a car parked in the way.
Damn it’s a shame certain classics like this we just can’t park on the street safely anymore… I’ve had my XR6 badges stolen many times, but might get a steering lock bar like you’ve got just in case! Glad the WRX is still there all the same man!
That's unfortunate man. Makes me want to get more security on mine and my dad's subies. This must be more common over seas. Here in the states most Americans don't know how to drive a manual. No joke it's actually wild how majority don't know how to.
Know how you feel. Someone tried to steal my Eclipse years back one Christmas and busted my drivers window. Stole my sound system all while I was at work. The cop said they were Christmas shopping. The feeling I had felt like the end of the world. I use the anti theft map on my cobb AP with my WRX.
Put the car in a garage m8, even if you have to 'rent' a neighbours garage, or worse case, pay a car storage company (a legit one, with high security) to store it for you. These cars are becoming collector cars now (or already are especially for the 2 doors). Leaving it on the street is just not a realistic option anymore. Plus by storing it you will preserve it for years longer.
Thanks very much for the video for letting us know. What's happened. Cheers mate 👍. As I said I hope the police do catch these criminals. And also you get looked after.
Hey criminals, before you try and touch my car.. just know I math different. 8 billion people currently live on earth. 1.4 billion cars on earth. Supply and demand would dictate that. My car is worth about 5.7 people... We got plenty of people... they're making more people by the second...
Brother it's literally a JDM STi "i" badge. I have one on mine. Genuine Subaru part and no longer available. The few you see for sale these days are advertised for hundreds of $$.
Well - you knew the risk and you decided to park it on the street. Should never buy a car like this unless you have an off-street park or garage to hide it from public view.
Unfortunately he is right.. You simply cannot leave cars like this out on the street without being targeted. Yeah it's sucks, yeah it not fair, but it's how it is.
Hope you’ve let the police take those prints before you put yours all over it.
Good luck bro
Yeah they have done the full report

Yeah it’s actually ridiculous. Lucky I have insurance

Yeah it’s brutal as
Max, I'm really sorry to hear this has happened.

I'm here for you, mate.
From William. Mount Gambier, South Australia.

I am no doubt🤣
@@maxgal Didn't work that good for me with my E30 but on the other side, it forced me to get a MX-5 NB :D

Yeah legit bro manual is usually a great locking system
I know I read that the earlier models are the most targeted ones the newer ones arent thankfully 🙏
Sad realityy
They stole my wheels and tires off my 18’ wrx. I was left on bricks. I parked right outside of my house and not in the driveway.
And yes I had wheel locks

Coz they got in and didn’t touch anything but the ignition barrel is stuffed.
I'm honestly worried for mine, the only security it has is the inbuilt steering lock and i've got another steering lock on the wheel
Yeah I’d definitely get some security

1.4 billion cars on earth.
Supply and demand would dictate that. My car is worth about 5.7 people... We got plenty of people... they're making more people by the second...
Oh lordy... that logo on the trunk lol
Factory logo
That is literally the old school factory logos these models came with
Litterally how they came from factory.

Yeah that's dumb. So we can't buy a car we love just because we don't have a garage? LOL ok.
No house issues I guess.
Exactly
