Low Life Land Rover Owners

[CraigE]

Look's like we are getting some bad, nasty people in our Land Rover community. Had the pig in the carpark at work yesterday morning and went down to get a lighter to start some fires for a fire training course I was running and low and behold noticed the centre cap missing from the front passenger side alloy mag. On a closer look noticed 4 of the 5 wheel nuts were completely undone (1-2 turns to come off completely). Only the bottom one still on. Tightened them back up and went around the other side to find lockable fuel cap removed as well. Someone must have disturbed them as they did not get to syphon the tank or get the wheel. Must be someone with a LR as a 1 1/16 scoket would have been needed and an alloy lock nut key as one of the ones undones was a lock nut. Either an attempted theft or someone wanted me to come to grief. Had to have some knowledge of LR's to know what size socket to use. Keeping a close eye on the other Defenders in the car park and series one Disco's. If I find the low life's, they will never drive a landie again. The attempt is not the issue but what could have been the result if I had not noticed it, especially if I had the kid's in the car.

Mate I know what you mean a person like that should be Hung shot guttered and run over by the landy they vandalised :censored: :soapbox:

[CraigE]

And should be banished to driving a Toyota for the rest of their lives.

That would be a Toyota hearse for them then.

Forget Islamic states, summary justice is vengeful in a Land Rover state.

Not good Craig
I once caught a lowlife removing the stereo out of my car.He got a floging and I broke his forearm over my knee,I will never forget that crack sound:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: .The police were threatening to charge me with GBH,I had to argue my case that this poor unfortunate put up a good fight and I was acting in self defence.
In the end the fact that the culprit didnt want to press charges saved my BACON.I am now only starting to get some sort of respect for the police,and this happened 22 years ago.

Just as good too break a finger then rub/grind the broken bits together, no need to be ruff either, pain ,pass out, wake em up and do it again, a Broken finger in a fight looks hell worse than a finger;) swelling is the same, no evidence;)

They might be part of the anti landrover B**t**ds that throught a rock through my rear window on my disco once

The British army have Sniper Detecting Radar for urban warfare. They park the Land Rover with the radar in the area, as soon as a bullet leaves a rifle, the radar pin-points the snipers position.

I was thinking of installing one of these to a Land Rover, coupled to a gattling gun with a "return fire" program. :rocket:
This was to be a security upgrade for Paris-Dakar vehicles going through war zones;).

Anyway, I figure it could have some local applications - maybe rubber bullets.

The driver is unaware of what is going on and the vehicle is acting in self defense.

6 x "D" cell maglite torch, legitmate reason for being in vehicle, mounts nicely onthe seat mount between drivers side and door and not a forearm in the world willstop it when that aircraft grade aluminium comes crashing down with the weight of 6 large batteries. great security and can't get you in trouble like a bseball bat, at night legitimate reason for leaving the vehicle with you, quick flash in the stubbie weilding freaks eyes and then smash paybacks a bitch.Police attend , common sense to take a torch out at night, hit in reflex to self defense;) anyone throw a stubbie or rock at my car they will be having an uncomfortable ride down to williams where Landy andy and I can get evil in his shed.

[RichardK]

I've generally got a good armoury of words to express myself but I fail miserably when trying to describe the type of person interfering with someone elses property. There are no excuses, everyone should know what is OK and not OK. I for one agree that these type of people should experience physical pain for their actions so next time, unless they enjoy pain, they will have second thoughts.

Had a similar experience some years ago with my IIA. Stopped at Gulgong for a swim on a hot days travel heading North. Somebody nicked a few stud nuts. Bugger me, driving towards Dunedoo I think it was, and my left front wheel goes a rolling off to the left into the bushes. Fortunately I was able to get the rig onto the virge and roll to a stop with no damage. Fortunately a IIA wasn't that fast.

This is a disturbing trend.At the moment,'round my way,there is a rash of 4wd spare tyres going missing.Lets just hope that karma IS a vengefull elephant:mad: .My maglite only compliments the spare handle for my log splitter,the axe,hand held mattock,long handled shovel,chainsaw................................... .:D ;)

[George130]

There is nothing worse. Had someone try to steal the mags of my old datto once. They strippedd the thread on one of the nuts so slashed the tyre instead. I had to drive it home as we couldn't get the tyre off. I did discover that at 60 and over the car balanced nicely but below that it would sink back down and ba a slug.

[Mud_Bogger6]

Yeah one of the blokes I work with had the stereo, and the thousands of dollars worth of stuff stolen from his datto, then he had the datto stolen, rolled, and torched.
Now what kind of B:censored:d would do that???????:nazilock:

Thats pretty crook, could have been nasty to, good thing you noticed. Matt

OK, flogging the stuff is rotten, but back in my Datto days (ah, the first car) I only had fire, theft and third party property insurance. If someone HAD stolen it, I'd have appreciated them torching it as well instead of returning it damaged. Still, glad neither happened. Did have a mate who's car was stolen and flogged to death- every panel bent except the roof - and because he found it himself the police thought it was an inside job. But fortunately the low-life who stole it left all his subpoenas (for car theft) on the front seat. 8O

Many years ago my car was stolen. I reported it but the police couldn't find it.

A couple of weeks later, I was driving through Penrith, and there it was , parked outside the police station complete - except for the new battery I just bought.

I like your thinking Dawg. One of my mates who was in the AFP (and still is) tipped me off to carrying a big maglite 16 or so years ago. There's always been a 5 x "D" cell maglite nestled beside the drivers seat. It sits there so neatly and unobtrusively in a Defender. :angel:
