Hey
you should pass the info onto the cops, if already haven't. Somone is seriously going to get bashed.

Hey, this sounds like the same guys who ripped us off at Shoalwater a few weeks ago, numberplate begins with 1CAT, but the police dont seem to have followed up, so the bastards are getting bolder as they havent had any consequences to their actions.

Anyone got any ideas how we can get the cops to do a bit more about this, seeing they have been given partial plates and descriptions????

I am not a violent person by nature, but this pushes all the right buttons make me want to take action....

how about giving the guys at 6pr a call with the details, im sure they would be happy to bug police commisioners and pollies about our little crime epidemics :(

Like it! Try and remember for next time!

In my case cops arrived (too late), but then did no follow up, even with multiple witnesses and descriptions.... thats whats the annoying bit.

Hey all

My car was done over last week up at Leighton beach (WA), there was nothing on show but the tried the smash and grab anyway. The glove box and ash tray were left open and they even tried to rip the back seat out to try and get in the boot (I deactivated the in car boot release) glad to say without success.

I have been kiting for a few years now so it must have been time for me to loose my car break in cherry !.

Arranged for the window to be replaced ($385 ) but having to wait about a week because the company fixing me up have had apparently 500 smash and grabs over the last couple of weeks !.

This is obviously a very common occurrence, you think the cops would set up a couple of sting cars to catch some of the low life scum.

If the cops are so short of manpower to stop these break-ins I’m sure they could find plenty of kiters, surfers etc eager to volunteer some time, all we need is one cop on call, available to back us up when we catch one of the fu***rs. Even if they weren’t prosecuted I would certainly feel a lot better, may make them think twice especially if they received a couple of accidental bruises while being apprehended !. We could even try to organise it with the local ranger service or even the neighbourhood watch group if the cops couldn’t help.

Just a thought, would be glad to volunteer some time.

Cheers

I had a push bike stolen a long time ago. Anyway long story short, we caught the guy in the act riding off the driveway as we where pulling. We chased him, then my mates uncle gave him some free boxing lessons from a golden gloves perspective. facially he didn't look beaten up, but I think the rib ticklers he recieved made him reconsider the stealing game. A off duty cop stood and watched the whole thing, he then came over and said we did the right thing. He explained that it would have gone nowhere if the cops where called, he would be back on the street 2 hours later doing the same thing.

Moral of the story is, approach with caution and in numbers if possible. Do not inflict permanent or life threatening damage, but do teach them that you don't take kindly to their behaviour and attitude towards others private property. Ribs are a good place to start.

I'm happy to assist in any setup job in Safety Bay if someone has a plan.

Might be the time of year. I know criminals commonly increase their activity just before christmas to get some christmas money (believe it or not, its true).

Ever thought of giving the cops some bad publicity to get a reaction? Approach the newspaper, tell them the cops don't react and you're ready to take the law into your own hands because it seems to be the only way to get justice. The cops will be forced to react to prevent mob justice, particularly if there has been public warning about it.

Wedgie .... If you get footage of these skum get it to one of the TV shows like today tonight etc .. they LOVE that sort of stuff ... 'police ingnore crime wave' you know what I mean .... and I reckon it could only help your area if you did manage to get some film.
1 it would put pressure on the authorities to up their ante
2 it would publicly shame/identify the skum you sprung
3 may even deter other **** heads from giving it a go
4 you could always post youtube with a vid of the boys and their phone books

Bummer to hear of all the breakins though guys .... pure crap ... these ppl are a stain on the land

Happy Days
