Shed Broken Into- St Patty's Night

Last night some low life scum decided to help themselves to a fair few of my tools and torana gear.
I believe that it must have been someone that I know or someone who has been checking the house out over a period of time as I always have my shed locked, and try to keep exposure to the inside of my shed to a minimum.
But anyways the C*nts bend pack my shed door until the bolt came free and went to town on what was inside. Now im left with a half filled shed and a broken door latch.
I cant even explaine how angry I am, that ppl can help themselves to others belongings without even feeling a little remorse. Some of the stuff they have taken from what I have seen so far can never be replaced. Such as some of my original parts and original workshop manuals. Im just lucky that they didnt take my car....i just thank god that I left my ute parked in the drive so they would never had been able to move the torrie even if they wanted to.
So far im not to sure how much money I lost with all the parts missing, but I would love to find out who took them. People like this dont even deserve the air they breath.
Looks like my future plans for the old girl will now be put on hold for a while.
Mother Fu*kers!!!! Thats all I can say....

Re the dog thing > I had a big german sheppard in Adel b4 I move to hills and our shed was done over, they severly traumatised this dog. It ended up because of his phobias he was almost put on dangerous dog conditions.
It is hard to know who to trust, but i am finding i have 2 be more private than ever (if u kno me then u know this is very hard!!!) and guarded.
AUSTRALIA = mini america.
It would b sooo nice to catch some of theese pricks.
A reminder to all of us to check our insurance levels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Definately worth following EBAY & Trading post.
Agree with ^^ They must have had a truck/ute and at least a couple of blokes
to carry all that and transport it away.
And your neighbours saw nothing?
I had an LX hatchback stolen, my first car, and no insurance.
I was part of a Torana club back then and thought it was and inside
job as the car was pretty heavily modded and had wierd security
items on it that they only knew/understood. That makes the deal
even worse. I hope it was not people you know.
I think my current baby is my mental fix for what happened back then.
A bitter pill to swallow, but at least you still have the car.
Insurance can be hard to get on so many items, and difficult to
explain why an 'ashtray' etc. would be worth so much. The big dog
is expensive too, and could back fire on you. What about some
cheap sensor lights? 150W pointing not just at your shed, but at the
neighbours house so it pisses them off enough to come out?!
Hopefully this little community can get some of the stuff back for you.
Cheers, Leakey

Electronic Dizzy
Front Panels
Trimatic
Master Cylinder
Needless to say I would need some more specific details, as it would be pointless donating a UC front guard if you have an earlier model vehicle.

I'd been broken into twice so I forked out $300 and got a security system that costs $10/week to run.
Nothing has gone missing since I've had him. I found having your personal space violated worse than the stuff being stolen. Dog's aren't the perfect safeguard but it helps. I've got a good mate now too.

These stories make me MAD!! Sounds like it's lucky your
ute was blocking the torrie in,these pricks could have
taken the lot!
It's little wonder we end up paranoid about our cars.
Not to mention our collections of increasingly hard
to find spare parts.
Really hope you can find out who's responsible,maybe
get some gear back! they must have made some noise,
taken a bit of time.
Going outside to lock shed..

Im located in Townsville NthQLD.
Aparently me neighbours saw nothing, but we are not on very good terms due to the fact that they are retired and my place is full of uni students. But as for knowing who it was, I would love to find out! I do have a small idea that it may have something to do with my ex room mate as he was also a rev head, but was kicked out for selling drugs....so this may be a direct retaliation. I informed the police of this, but they dont seem to be doing much about it which makes it even more annoying.
Not to mention that I have been spending the entire day trying to secure my now broken shed door down as we are expecting a cyclone to hit 2mora morning. YAY!.....NOT

Really does s**t me that pricks who make the effort to stake out a joint and pinch everything in sight but can't make any effort to work a little bit harder and legally get the bits you need.
If your in a position to have a dog i personally think they make a considerable difference, my two do a good job of keeping the place "Grub" free, the little one (who is a nasty looking little number when he wants to be) does a great job of keeping an eye out and barking/growling when need be, and the big girl i've got here looks like a princess but is known to take chunks out of would be grubs (got a fright when i found a serious trail of blood one night).
These arent the reasons i own dogs as there a million more benefits that they give you but it is handy to have.
Keep an eye out for these parts guys, and if there is anyway these items can be identified properly let us know so we can spot them and stop this bulls**t amongst the torana community.

Thanks all for the comments about the recent misfortune I have experienced. I too also have a dog, but due to the fact that it keeps getting babied by the missus I dont know how much help it would have been. But who knows. As for tracking down my stolen goods, the cyclone has put a big damper on proceeding with the investigations. And yes my shed contents were also not insured, so I guess now I have learned a very harsh lesson and shall be looking into insurance in the near future. However thanks all for offering to help me out with tracking the ppl down, and i can guarantee that if something like this happened to somebody else I know, I to would be doing all I can to help them out.
Cheers ppl
