Always gotta be wary of the double initialed people I've found.

They were a classic, we used to do time trial when we were bored to see who could break into my mates dad's car the quickest, pretty sure that was a VC too, 5c pieces used to work the best.

I don't have that issue anymore......keyless start! Although it is slightly unnerving when the key is in a backpack but you throw the bag in and press the start button with no key in sight.Booney wrote:Brodlach wrote:Sounds like a crap day
How does anyone leave their keys in the ignition?
A mate once left his VL Commodore Wagon running, yes, RUNNING when we got to Adelaide Oval for a Test match back in the early 00's.
Late in the day he's started looking for his keys, nowhere to be found, goes back to his car to find a note telling him to go to Adelaide Oval match day office, back then it was still in the back of the old Bradman Stand. Gets there to claim his keys and gets informed a punter walked past his car and found that it was still running. They shut it off, locked it up, left and note and handed in the keys.
It was his 50th late last year and he was down from Brisbane for it, this and some other cracking stories about his escapades were recounted. Good times.

I once offered my sister to thoroughly clean my car $20 or keep whatever money you find, she ripped herself off by taking the redback, that was about 20 years ago too.

I can relate to that, I used to clean out the above mentioned XC when my Dad had it (before he lost his license and I got it) and Id get a couple of hundred out of it, and that was in the 80s!

I had a VH commodore that I used to leave the keys in it and windows down on the road, I lived on Fletcher Road Largs Bay 2 doors down from a busy deli and directly across the road from a chemist and post office, not once did anyone even go in it.

My VH SLE was stolen 3 times in 2 weeks from the same spot at my work, had a fuel cut off so they could only get 500m away each time!
They tried a 4th time and got caught and received a slap on the wrist

Luckily the RAA only took 20min, top bloke, got it sorted. I'm biting my tongue at home, the missus knows my mood is as black as a dogs guts.

I bought my first car in 1965 - a 1955 FJ my older sister had bought new.
So, I've had 53 years of car ownership and I have never had a car stolen or even broken into.
(Mind you I've never owned a Ford and my last Holden was a 1968 HK 327 Bathurst Monaro.)
I even got away with my wife's old 1996 Ssangyong Musso parked in a friend's driveway in Daveron Park for a week while we were staying over with him and his wife for a week in 2007.
