I, like others on these boards, am becoming concerned at the amount of reported criminal activity aimed at Subarus.

I would like to find out if it is something of major concern or is it a small percentage of owners that have suffered.

I hope that the results will show that it is only a small percentage.

I have set a poll to try and find out the facts.

Please do not list car park dents, these are annoying but I would like them kept out of the results.

Please feel free to expand your poll with a brief description of the criminal activity against your Scooby.

Please only enter the poll with events that happened in the last 12 months.

You can answer in more than 1 category.

I need as many posters as possible to use this poll in order to get a wider picture.


Thanks in anticipation,

Big-G

 

There must be a few non-scooby owners reading this thread, more people reading it than polling on it.!!!!

 

shut it grandad............i have always wanted to say that

bit quiet

 

You wipper-snapper you, I'll put you on my knee and smack your bottom.


P.S. check my Big-Grandad thread in muppets, picture of grandson on there!

 

seems there aint alot of people getting there cars done over which is good

 

STI Version7 stolen from Bristol docks last year - famous Brum gang.

 

I have had my valve caps stolen once, so i put nothing to report lol

 

dare ya

i kicked my own car a few times does that count

 

Many thefts get report on here, but little detail about what what security was in place at the time gets detailed.

It would be interesting to see if security devices, such as a Diskloc or BlackJax or Tracker do their job.

Obviously, this does not cover mindless vandalism.

 

2 attempted break-ins to the house - both failed to get in. Does that count? One was at night whilst we were in and caused 1500 quid of damage as the "silly people" tried to jemmy every downstairs window, knackering them in the process but not breaking in. Second was walking downstairs to find someone trying to get past the yale lock with a very, very thin screwdriver. Legged it along with 2 other lads into a waiting 406 - which turns out was stolen earlier that night. Oh yes, I remember that well... Happy bloody valentine's day!

 

Badges nicked leaving scratches down to the bare metal on the boot and front arch

Nothing to report with the new one though......yet

 

Attempted theft from BHX airport ... nice £5k repair bill ... one for the insurance company
See pics here ... be careful out there peeps.

 

306 views, 68 votes.....come on peeps, cast your vote in the poll, lets get an accurate figure..

 

Voted Legacy, damaged or stolen parts.

Got keyed parked outside The Point in Milton Keynes, I'd had the car 3 days.

This poll should have an option for petty vandalism really as my vote seems more severe than the actual damage.

 

Poll should have attempted theft. Some of them didnt get away with it.

 

I suffered a slight bashing... but deserved it with my big gob And at least they aren't going to steal it now are they

 

Ubik & Lum.

I can only get 10 items to poll on, you are not allowed any more,
so I suggest putting yours down as damaged.

Keep em coming peeps, need to get an accurate figure.

Had my valve caps stolen several times and it had it keyed - MY00

 

Just posted nothing to report, hope that doesnt tempt Mrs Fate

 

Just voted nothing to report, MY97 classic. Garaged overnight with another car blocking the garage door..

 

Just voted for "nothing to report" On a new age MY05, Only had it since the 1st March though !!!

Got a Tracker monitir and Blackjax on it and my car park at home has CCTV on it 24 hours a day
and the works car park is secured once everyone is in and patrolled by our security staff so fingers crossed it should remain as it is !!!

Rear numberplate went a few weeks ago. Some other people in the street had theirs taken too - I'm assuming the local pikey little ***** had a new craze...

 

<touch wood> nothing to report on my MY02 WRX

 

Attempted armed car-jacking.

No appropriate catergories on the poll though.

There has been plenty of criminal activity inside my Scooby, does that count ?

 

Beware cloning! Chassis numbers can and are displayed more openly on cars today eg on glass, dash plates and running boards etc.

 

Mindles ****-jockey carved initials across my bonnet and scratched it front to back!

 

Car jacked in brum. Blackjax did its job and car recovered with no damage.I then traded it in as soon as I got it back. Im very happy with my Skoda!

 

Attempted car-jacking last year, no damage to the car I just took a few punches in the head

 

i've just stuck a cctv camera on my parking bay so hopefully no urchin will damage the car !!
