Indeed, there seems to be a real concentration of theft in that area of Perth. Checkout what RAC say about this:

I had a VQ Statesman (VN era) which was stolen 3 times and dumped in Mt Druitt. When I met the towey the 3rd time as I knew exactly where it was going to be dumped and he showed me how ridiculously easy it was to steal it, I sold it.
Essentially it was *crackersINC super-edit - please don't give out info on how to steal cars.* Last edited by Professor Farnsworth; 20-11-2008 at 12:40 AM. |

This thread is skating on thin ice. Two posts have now been made with a description of how to break into various types of cars. This sort of info is not what we want floating around on the forums. Please note that if i have to edit another post regarding this the thread will be closed, thanks.

Those that live/have lived in Armadale will say otherwise, that perception is only held by those strange north-of-the-river folk

If ya have a crap enough car it can be left in Freo and not be stolen.
When working on Rotto, I left mine there for a week with missing driver window and not a thing stolen had my tool box sitting on the back seat too. North and south of river have thier areas where you need fast legs. |
