Thread: Anti theft Mod

INter674 it looks like you might be right as much as I hate it. It just fails the Pub Test for me - you add these accessories with your $$ nothing to do with the finance company!!

Report on the Weekends activities:-

Friday Night - 5 hrs looking - 3 X D3/4 and 0 x Police car spotted.

Saturday - 7 hrs looking - 4 x White D3/4 and 1 x Police “Command” car.

Sunday (so far today) - 4hrs looking - 1 x White D4 (L plates girl being taught by dad) and 0 x police cars. Will go out again tonight.

Conclusion so far - there are not many White D3/4 out there and even less police cars (unless they are all unmarked). What ever happened to the “bobby on the beat” - the cops need to rename their “patrol” cars to “parked somewhere safe” cars.

Don’t get me wrong I am NOT anti the police quite the opposite - I blame our succession on useless politicians (both sides) that underfund them and don’t use the latest technology for fear of upsetting our modern civil libertarians..

Unsure how owner has this one set up.
One of the things my lease company stated was that I couldn’t use the lease to add any improvements to the vehicle - only maintain/operate.

Any accessories were added at my cost and wouldn’t be covered under the policy unless stated.

As each accessory was fitted the insurance was modified and lease company notified also. For the first 2 years the vehicle and accessories were full replacement (CGU). Post that period it was agreed value including listed accessories.

Depreciation of assets must be factored in and accounted for during lease/loan periods to ensure you aren’t left with nothing.


I sure hope your vigilant search finds the vehicle.

Thanks to the sharp eye of Scarry for spotting this.


This is the link to the video my car is last section of video: burgerIcon

99.999% sure that’s mine !!

The type of phone charger is identical but anyone can have that - the clincher is the redarc electronic brake knob position on the centre console in the final seconds of the video. ****ing little ****ers...

Looking at this picture what’s concerning is that it looks like a samurai type sword handle sticking up between the seats


I have decided to accept the losses and move on but will never insure myself through Alliance again.

Well that wouldn't bode well if the cops stopped him.

Maybe they are actually aware of this "Accessory" & wouldn't pull him over, ever. Maybe he is a Cop? Pity he hasn't got a tattooed name on his arm though.

If it was a Series LR I'd reckon it was the handbrake lever for a late 2A but it isn't is it?


Just thinking, or not. If Paul was in the back seat why didn't he clobber the guy or pinch his weapon?

They wouldn't get far in the 2A,because it has 3 pedals.

Looks like the driver has a glove on his left hand.

HarryO,so if thats yours,as i presumed,the cops know who they are,they have been stealing cars in that area for many months.
Unfortunately,as we all know,the 'system' for these types doesn't work.

Hopefully your searching has results.

The cops? Figures.



Gloves for nil DNA &/or dabs. I thought that was just a shadow.

No glove on right hand. MMM . Maybe he has a tattoo on his left hand

It does look a bit discoloured doesn't it compared to the right hand thumb that is visible.
