    Owner retrieves stolen vehicle

    from yesterday.

    Guy realises in the morning that his car has been stolen.
    within an hour he has its location, get the cops there, and has his car recovered, thanks to the gps tracker he put in it.

    the temptation to not call the cops and bring on some vigilante justice would be pretty great, although if they stole the car, they knew where he lived i suppose

    I have one on my bike, one call and it’ll kill the engine and tell me where it is.

    Jeez, I don't know why he bothered. I've got a Nissan Stagea as part of our work fleet - 2.5L of struggling gutlessness, drinks fuel 20% faster than my 4L Falcon, steers like a cow. The entire crew just call it "The Whale".

    The RB25DET and RB26DETT models go quite well standard. A mild boost increase makes over 300bhp.

    So with a bit of tweaking you could end up with a 300hp whale??

    Hmm, we recovered a stolen car down here within hours of it being stolen, no technology like that needed, just local knowlewdge.

    Two are residing in custody as we speak, a third on bail.

    Losers with a capital 'L' the lot of them.

    Owner was glad to get his car back undamaged, I bet he doesn't leave the 'spare' key in the centre console anymore....

    A lot of people have a spare key in a slide-box ... "hidden" (in the usual places) on the car ...

    Being that far South I would have thought the keys would get left in the ignition

    It's optional, leave them in and if it goes missing call Scumdog
