Thread: Vehicle security while in the bush.

I park on a shit of an angle so anyone trying to jack it up is likely to end up squashed under it....if they actually manage to get jack to lift before it crabs sideways... and it was me that said open glovebox and centre console so scumbags can see nothing of value to pinch...

Haha, I bet if someone gets squished under your car while trying to steal your wheels, because you parked on a slope. You will get done for assault.
And the VC guy you parked on will be pretty pissed off too.
Shit, did I just say that? Well I think it was funny so it must be ok.

I know a guy who got a cheap Galaxy S1 and loaded a tracking programme onto it

He put it up in the roof lining of his Surf and had the charger powering it running off the ceiling light - taped it down and kept the ceiling light running ok so no reason to suspect

The tracking programme tells his other phone where his Surf is at all times

Insurance requirement for insurance on Hiluxes (and a bunch of others) in Sarf Africa was to have a 'tracker' fitted.

So then they would strip your car as they drove it to try and find the location of the device. Happened to a buddy, was retrieved with interior completely stripped out. Insurance elected to put it back together but he said it never stopped leaking/giving hassles - next time he notices it stolen, he says he's going to find a coffee shop and have a few cups of coffee before he reports it's stolen to make sure the damage is sufficient to get it written off.
