Is the Shore going to shit?

[JamesHD]

Yes it is sad that there are people that stupid and disrespectful out there.

Common problem I used to have with my mini's was people picking it up and moving it. They don't get very far (about a foot was the most) but it takes me hours to bend all the bumpers back into alignment.

I solved the problem by using hot melt glue and a box of razor blades. A few on each corner right where someone would lift from under the bumper. Cant see them.. but you sure can feel them. Have not had any trouble since.

Kiwi ingenuity at its finest... top effort.

I had a friend who had his car broken into but he heard what was happening and ran outside to see the thief in the distance.

He then took a piece of wood and hammered a dozen nails through it, sat it on the driver's seat and covered it with a cloth. He was REALLY fckd off and wanted the theif to try it again, sitting down to nails up his arse. I laughed my head off. Unfortunately the thief never came back.

Just chase the thieves naked - it worked for Scumdog.

Crime on the Shore went up when the tolls were removed from the bridge.

That dosen't deviate from the fact that Birkdale and Devonport should have been rented to the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys for their nuclear testing programme.

Nope.
Just simple facts.
Crime went up. It didn't differentiate between sexes or ethnicities.

Hey mate. I live on the shore too; browns bay to be more specific.

In only three years of living in browns bay, i have had two cars broken into; both had full alarm system and all that. both were parked in driveway. both times, idiot tried to steal the car not just rip the good stuff out.
my brother has had one car broken into and all his sounds stolen.

after this happened, we got a full electric front gate, so even if they did get the cars started, they cant go anywhere. no more problems for us...

however, thieving C*$TS started targeting neighbours cars... one particular neighbours car got stolen in the middle of the night, tow truck rocked up, hooked it up, and ripped it through neighbours front garden and drove it away... pretty ballsy i must say.



even though the cars been broken into, im still proud to live on the shore. great place to live, nice lifestyle. i guess everywhere you get a bit of shit, same with all areas in auckland. easiest solution... move to the south island???

still, gutted to hear about the cage been ripped off mate.
i want to say "hope they find the buggers" but its very unlikely, with the amount of work the fine boys in blue have to do, before following up with these crimes.

at least you get to ride the bike everyday though

Yeah this was the sort of stuff i was referring too. They seem to be well organised and have certain targets.
Its stink to think that this is happening on the Shore but i suppose that it is something that has to be dealt with in the citys.
And YES i also love the North Shore especially at this time of year!
Im going to report it but im ont going to bother getting it fingerprinted. I dont think they'll ind anything anyway.
Anyway atleast i have got the bike, thats right!

exactly... hope the weather picks up though aye.

most thieves target the shore because they perceive it as a "richer" environment... they are all about the quick buck, and it's very annoying to be on the receiving end of this.

next cage you get, i would advise putting "screamers" in with your alarm. they are little audible sirens that have a very high pitch and, once set off, wont let you sit in the car for longer than a few seconds because of the deafening sound.



stay safe, always good to know another shore biker.

Guy broke in, and tried for a few minutes to get it to fire... the distributer was with me, in a different town.

I had an older Mitsi Lancer (auto) parked on my front lawn that some fools tried to steal by crash starting it. It ended up marooned over the retaining wall down to my driveway with a broken rear quaterlite window, and as it later transpired a cracked sump. Dicks!

NO, this is not a Shore thing at all, it is opportunist theives attempting their luck. Serves us right really. Leaving perfectly good heaps of shit out in a place they could attempt to steal them.

[MadDuck]

Its not just the Shore. Whangaparaoa has put on 5 extra community constables in the last couple of months.....now tell me there is no increase in crime on the Coast

I once left a VF Valiant parked outside my folks - left the battery connected.

Ignition barrel was happy with a teaspoon to turn it.

Take your clothes off and chase 'em down the street.

Works for me.
