    "...neat the @#$%..." doesnt really make sence now does it of course it could refer to some sort of dispicable unmentionable deviate act performed by baseball bats upon unsuspecting crotches when one gets such a hex put on em crotches and baseball bats are never meant to be acquainted

    I once left a Nipple Pink Holden Belmont in a car park in Liverpool NSW with the window down, and the keys in it. The car park was famous or notorious for being the place most likely to have your car stolen.
    At the end of four days, all I got for my devious plan was a parking ticket!!

    I do suggest that you report the theft to the Police - most states now have 131444 as a dial-in reporting service. It would help if you had signed the thing somewhere or had a photo - I know, it wasn't finished quite.

    Just remember that people who are 'careless' of other people's property have a habit of coming to the attention of the Police for other reasons, and it is always nice to give the Police something extra to speak to them about - who knows, you get the thing back.

    If you were feeling malicious, you could always let it slip that the 'P' had recently come into some 'good gear', won a jackpot on the pokies or otherwise had something that their scumbag mates would like to have, then they too can feel your pain, and probably the pain from a few knuckle sandwiches when they didn't produce the goods

    What affected me most when I got me car broken into, was not the value of theft and damage, but a mental attitude.

    I actually saw the guy running away. So every time I came across another that looked like him I was saying under my breath "mongrel bastard!". For the first few months I hated each and every one of them.

    No logic to it. Took me ages to get over it.

    I'd rather lose my stuff than live behind barbed wire.
    yes it's a bugger.
    if you suspect go ask if they saw anyone around and watch the reaction, say your making it for a charity raffle and see if it gets returned.
    then donate it

    Its sad when this sort of thing happens, you get a "ripped off" feeling and you cant resist thinking of likely suspects. But its the ****ed world we live in today, lock it or lose it, unfortunately. Theives will even come into your house with you in there these days and dont care two hoots if you spring them in the act. Bring back some REAL deterrent punishments and things might change but while they hand out the gentle wrist slaps in the court nothin's gonna change.

    I used to worry about this. It's nice having a dog people are afraid of though. You can leave you tools in the driveway when your working on your car, go inside for a bit to fix a drink and whatnot without worrying, if somebody stops or slows for a second look or a quick grab, then the dog laying under the car extends it greetings, the ned(s) then scoot on out to a more friendly place, its nice. The screaming gets on my nerves a bit though, some of these neds scream like little girls. Is it just me or are guys sounding more like girls everyday? Must be all the hormones in the water. Some of these clerks at the checkout counter, I know several, nice chaps but they open their mouth and ya about jump outta ya skin and grab aholt of the person beside you for a second or two. Nothing they can do about it I suppose, but it sure is strange.
