Anyone else see channel 10 news qld tonight? Video released of Some dude jumped in the drivers seat of a black Prado while the driver was filling up and drove off on new years eve down the gold coast. Owner tried to jump in the passenger seat but no joy.

Hopefully not one of us! Rego was personalized plate MLN35 from memory in case anyone spots it.

I always remove the keys from ignition and lock it while i'm filling up, heard too many incidents of this happening to others.

Man, that'd suck.
I ALWAYS lock mine, when I am going in to pay.

Hope it all works out for them...

Mal,

Not too much crime in Baulkham Hills, however, in other parts of Sydney, some crook will be stealing things from your Prado as you walk inside the service station to pay. Better off to lock all vehicles when not in them.

Apparently it is a fineable offence to leave an unattended unlocked vehicle in NSW. If you lose something from an unattended car or lose the car itself tough titties.

Not sure if a finable offence would be necessary, but certainly common sense would suggest not leaving the keys in the ignition at anytime the drivers seat is not occupied and to lock the car when not attended. I never leave the keys in the ignition, and lock it at all times, even for the 2 minute walk into a servo!!!

Gone are the days of just pulling up outside the local General Store, quickly jumping out and getting a bottle of milk while the kids sit in the car with the aircon and stereo running

Not down in Cranbourne, Victoria. I pulled into the local outdoor carpark at the shopping centre down there and found that the car parked next to me had all the windows down with a couple of kids asleep in the back. :? They would have been around 3 and 5 years old! Went in and did my thing for 5-10 minutes and they were still asleep when i left. Atleast he or she left the windows down for them. :roll:

Also saw the same thing in devenport when i was down there, except this person left the keys in the ignition as well. Maybe kids are a good anti theft device. :lol:
