dash grabbing
danny_galaga:
has anyone heard of this new trend in car theft? rather than risking all that is entailed in stealing a whole car, savvy thieves are now targeting cars with expensive onboard electronics like GPS. armed with a battery powered jigsaw (im guessing when the newspaper says electronic saw thats what they mean!) they just hack out the whole dash! the example they illustrated in the paper was a mitsubishi pajero. approx 10 grand worth of electronics in one fell swoop! the car itself was worth about 60 grand (aussie dollars, maybe 45g in us?) . apparently the damage was too complicated to fix so the car was written off!
but somehow i think nan and i will still be safe from these guys...

My German engineered car with its metal everything laughs at the jokers with their toy jigsaws.
shmokes:
For someone who had his hand shattered in a motorcycle accident, I hope your face never has to suffer the same fate in that car. That looks like an especially painful dashboard to collide with. ;D
danny_galaga:
dont worry, the steering wheel will protect the dash from bones face ;D

The steering wheel is on the wrong side... :dizzy:
