    Cool

    Far out, how did you come across this site?

    Seems to good to be true!

    My car is insured for $7200, to sell it I could get $3000 or trade in for $2400. It's a joke!

    If only hey!

    Got a sneaking suspicion that the Victorian Police may be the owners of the business..... just maybe.....

    Why can't you tell a p76 when you see one burning? Leave Silentc's beloved Fords alone!

    Default Shocking!

    What I find surprising about this 'business' is that they say that it is not illegal. :confused:
    ... you are letting us borrow the car, and there is nothing illegal about that.
    OK, nothing wrong with that (perhaps), except you are lending the car to an organisation that is advertising its intent on the web.

    But then they go on to say
    All you have to do is let the police know that someone stole your car ...
    Now that has to be illegal! The 'client', having loaned their car to a person, is committing a fraud by then implying that it has been stolen.

    :eek:

    Default I emailed them....LOL

    Hi Kylie,
    Yes we are for real, and we have done several jobs in ity w:st=[/img]Melbourneity> and one in ity w:st="on">Sydney.ity>

    Insurance companies cannot check your PC. The only way they can do is to get a police warrant. This will mean that they are charging you for criminal activity.>>

    Now obviously you haven’t done anything illegal, and there is no reason why they would think so if you got your car stolen.>>

    It would be impossible for police to obtain a warrant.>>

    > >

    Hence it is a fail proof system and has proved successful in the past.>>

    Cheers>>

    Has anyone reported your website to the police? I mean surely there would be a way that the insurance company could check my pc to see if I had contacted you to do a job.

    Correct, The crimes are, False Report to police and Obtaining property by deception. Both carry gaol terms.

    WRONG. As above.

    WRONG Again, Police can easily obtain warrants for lots of things. Seizing PC'S for info contained in them is one of them.

    Just think that the insurance Co's ring us all the time asking what we think of this car getting stolen or that accident. If there's any doubt, they wait for the investigation to be completed. You get to stew with no car till then.

    Is there anything easier done than said?

    An 'acquaintance' of mine from the past, let's call him Dickhead1 tried something like this. He owned a Jaguar that he wanted the insurance on, so he contacted a 'friend of a friend' who 'did this kind of work', let's call him Dickhead2. The deal was that the car would go missing and Dickhead2 would dismantle it for parts and scrap the rest. All was going well until someone spotted Dickhead2 driving the car around. Apparently he liked it too much to get rid of it. Both Dickheads were arrested and charged with fraud.

    You know the same Dickheads that I do!!!

    DH1 puts his car in the yard of DH2 and reports it stolen. DH1 collects cash from insurance (several thou) etc etc. - promptly forgets car is at mates house.

    Six months later DH2 asks 1 to get rid of car. DH1 by this stage is about half way through the police academy course. DH1 decides to dump the car in Jells Park, Just down the road from his mates house and the academy. Problem is, car won't run. DH's decide to push it to the park, in the middle of the day. Mrs Doogood calls Glen Waverly police about two boys pushing a car down the road. Its probably nothing but it looked odd. Long story short, coppers turn up, check car and hey, it comes up stolen. Bewdy, two easy crooks. Story eventually comes out and Recruit Dickhead gets the sack, both get charged and we all had a really good laugh.

    Back in my youth I had a Standard 10, insured for 100 pounds and worth about a quarter of that. Now any stranded 10 could be opened by poking an umbrella up through the jacking point, but in mine, the driver's door lock was stuffed and couldn't be locked anyway. In the absence of an ignition lock, the wires dangled down below the dash. While not actively trying to get it stolen, I wouldn't have been disappointed if it was.

    Several nights each week I left it parked in a back street near Sydney Tech in Ultimo, and once returned to find that someone had broken into the passenger side door and stolen a couple of magazines.

    Never could get the bastards to take the car, though.

    At about the same time my flatmate had a Cossack- a Russian Motorbike of very dubious reputation, and had ordered a brand new Norton Commando.

    He used to work at the PMG (tells you how long ago) in Brisbane and park the bike with a bunch of others in a lane nearby. Two weeks before delivery of the new bike, and no sucker in sight to buy the old one, he took to leaving the keys in the thing all day....no one would even steal it.

    New bike arrived, old one was relegated to under the house.

    About a month after it had been deregistered and uninsured, we arrived home from work to find someone had knocked out a panel of battens from under the house and gone to a great deal of trouble to knock it off.

    Funnier still was the fact that there were a couple of BMW's and a 450 Desmo Ducati there and untouched! Someone obviously looking for a weight for their boat mooring!

    Cheers,

    P
