And here I thought that this thread was going to be about the Umpires.

Would never park there.

That's not going to stop them breaking in and damaging the car in the first place. |
It is if they know it's in there.
Cars with visible alarm mechanisms are statistically far less likely to be targetted by thieves. |
It didnt work here, all it stopped them doing was opening the doors, they just smashed the window and took the GPS and only 1 of the cars I saw wouldnt have had a visible car alarm |

Their anger seemed to be directed at Victorians. They wanted to kill the owner of the car. It was me. But I never let on. It was something like out of Seinfeld with that drama they had when George parked his old mans car in a disabled spot. |
Do you often yell at yourself?

Aren't GPSs trackable or something if they turn them on? I remember a story about some being stolen from a shire depot and the cops were able to find them pretty easy.

Lets not forget that for every scumbag thief that is breaking into cars to steal a GPS or whatever else, there is some turd that is buying it "cheap" from them.
If less people bought stolen property , the thieves would have alot less incentive. |

A melways doesnt guide you the whole way, much safer the GPS as it doesnt require looking at it and distracting you from the road, plus it tells you where all the speed cameras are  |

How the F--k did u get into the MCG car park yesterday anyway???
It was closed apart from a few cars and everyone had to park in the city.
Damn nightmare trying to get out of an underground car park into Flinders Lane with 10000 cars all trying to get out at once into a small one way street already clogged by traffic... |

why would you have to park in the city? what's wrong with vodafone arena parking? I had no problem parking there, and after the game, got to my car.....drove out, no traffic and was in rowville 25 minutes after getting into my car.

Everyone says that until they get one. Btw, Melways have now released their own GPS. |

It seems someone thought that all those cars was a great way to get their hands on some GPS systems and smashed their way into any car that had one in sight
It was a very well planned, executed and targeted attack as they took nothing else (left alot more valuable stuff that was just as gettable) and always went through the drivers side window
But I thought the MCG might have atleast one security member or someone outside, wont be trusting anything my car there again  |
Easy money dude and I sympathise with you. We are talking oppourtunity crimes and anything in view is gone. You're in the city about 5km from Russell street the #1 area for purchasing drugs. |
