youve never owned a car that has crazy door locks once in a blue moon?



The EL wagon I had did it to the Mrs and the Ef Fairmont I have also has done it to me. Id rather smash a window and replace that than leave a key in a " safe place". Nothings safe. Hell a bloke on here a while ago changed his wheels at his place to find they were gone the next day, who's to say nobody has seen you put the key in that safe place or saw you retrieve it last time you did?
Also, people will steal a bog roll if they want it or just for the thrill. A " midrange car" could make a decent profit on eBay in parts.

All myself and a few others are saying is do you leave your bank cards pin in your wallet in case you forget it? Leaving a key on the car is just one more thing that allows a thief to flog your car. No car's safe, but all you can do is limit the risk the best you can.

Also about midrange cars, I owned a Vh commywhore about 10 years ago when I was living in Frankston. It use to get flogged all the time and found not far away because it had a f**k engine. They even stole a cut up piece of non-slip pad one time, so any cars worth stealing to someone.

how often do wallets go missing..........

i'd say more often than a rear bumper with key attached
Lol, that is true..
However the point I was making was this, how often do you get out of the car without 1st grabbing either your keys or your wallet? Speaking for myself, it'd be a cold day in hell before I leave them both in the car.

The entire reason behind having a spare is so you can get back in if you lock the keys in, BUT having a spare left somewhere on the car will cause issues with insurance if it's stolen or broken into by someone finding and using said key... and no doubt the insurance company WILL find out, as they are pretty good at finding ways out of paying up. Hence why I don't leave a spare on the car.

What's he gonna do?? Give him a massage and try to fix that niggling pain from a sports injury??

lol, I have no idea why I bother on this forum anymore.

So many narrow minded members.

The old owner of the car which the bumper skirt came from, could have had a family, have been a rep and travelled huge amounts or has been locked out in snowtown before.

And in the unfortunate event of having his items stolen, lost or whatever could happen, wouldn't render him, or his family without the car for shelter or transport.

I do have a spare key buried at home and also my work has a hidden key for all employees if 'something' happens. - there was a moto years ago - be prepared.

How many people inform their insurance of 'all' traffic violations?

Maybe we all should chain our wallets and keys to our pants and be sheep.

No s**t, got him from a former isreali soldier. Dogs trained as a guard, yet safe around families. He's a purebred Bull Mastiff who's sister is the current Australian champion. Ive seen him break cow shins in one bite. He watches my family, and I feed him and look out for him. Good dog, but horny like a mother f**k........ Wanted to breed him but the breed rights from the parents cost more than my car. Was thinking about looking out for a Ridgeback b**ch. Poor bastard just needs a good root and we have all been there......

He weighs 80kg, his paws are bigger than my wifes hands, his heads monstrous and people stop in there cars when I walk him. They were originally bred to take down human poachers and hold them till the farm owners came to collect and hang the dogs catch. They have a second eye lid to prevent a poked eyes, a huge solid head that's designed to withstand what ever the human throws at it and the jaw strength to crush bone.
The former soldier came to Australia to start a family. He flew to Wagga to be there when the dog was born, raised it for 2 years and then his wife got up the duff. She went anal about a clean house for a clean kid, making the kid allergic to everything..... dog included. I came to him off a free to good home ad while I was searching for a Staffy. Great dog though, would recommend bullys to anyone.
