Stolen :(
My baby's cover got stolen ...
Make: 1959 Beetle Cal Looker..
Parked her in South Yarra Melbourne, the car park beside Jam Factory ... haven't install alarm yet, so I decide to cover my baby up with it's cover
.... after movies, found out that the cover is off and gone ! Thank God she's all right with all windows clean and no scratches around her body
!@!@!
Just a little stupid story to share with you all ...
don't ever cover your car up in public areas.
car cover is worth : $44.95 @ autobarn.. lol~

People steal the most stupid things !!!!! Someone stole the air valve thingymagigs (don't know what they are called !!!!!) off my tyres one time. I
had mag wheels and the valve thingymagigs were chrome.
I hate thieves ! If I was in charge of punishment I would hang them all ! Along with people who are too lazy to put their shopping trolleys away and
leave them sitting on my bumperbar !
I am glad that your baby is alright ! |

So whats next... ? Alarm as soon as possible! and a powerful one must be installed. After the cover is gone, I can feel how dangerous it can be
anytime... I don't want my windows to be next !
Quoted Installation itself cost $190 without Central Locking Installation.
Alarm cost $3xx and another $80 for central lock ! too much, but I think this is a must, start saving it up today.
Anyone have a clue that if I can install central lock to my bug ?
Thanks !

Hey Babybug,
Did you install the 2 Way Alarm System with the LCD on your remote ? Are they reliable ? How much you got that for ?
Thanks!

Here's one for you! I have a disease in my back and sometimes use a wheelchair to get around. The falcon was parked in my driveway with the
wheelchair on the hoist, on the roof. Came out next morning and looked at the car with the hoist sticking up in the air. Wondered what was going on
so walked around the drivers side and here was the chair on the ground.
After investigating it seems that the wouldbe thieves decided to cut the hoist cord and take the chair. The only thing being it has 2 gigantic
springs that allow the hoist to move back and forwards. Hoping (not) that the thief was standing well away as he cut the cord as he could have lost a
leg, or arm if he was close when the cord was cut. The springs would have just let go and the arm sprung up hitting them. No dead bodies or body parts
were found, so am assuming they left somehow. I am assuming they were hurt as the chair was still laying on the ground next to the car.
Had to fix the hoist, but now works well, but doesn't fit on the dub. If anyone knows of anyone wanting a wheelchair hoist, just send U2U.

Yes, I have some clues; visit:
http://www.aussiekombicampers.com/projects.shtml#top
and select "Alarm & Remote Central Locking".
By the time you're finished reading, you will consider $80 for Central Locking installation a life-time bargain.

Has any one been in a car park and heard a car alarm go off? What do you do? They are a waste of time! |

no ducky,
never refer those hidden switches and the linked high voltage wiring as kill switches or you'll get done for murder. call them theif disabling
switches or similar. |
