    Sterlo in Dingley robberies are rampant not just school holidays.. Any tradie ute that's left on the street or driveway is getting broken into.. There is even talk of vigilantes setting up to get these scum... Along with other mates all our stuff locked away in the garage with alarms activated.
    one guy had 20 k of tools stolen and when he replaced them they came again... When he had it locked up so good they burnt it to the ground....
    Spose to be a good area , my previous residence was in a lower waged area but none of this crap....
    Did you have insurance and what steps to prevent it Cam

    Trailer is pretty much impenetrable. ..the shed however was quite easy :-(
    Tool insurance is a minefield. Cant be in the street, cant be in a trailer etc etc..indy tool insurance was as bad and dropped it for that very reason. Setting up new insurance for tools knocked off from ANY location. Lesson learnt.
    Great advice frim a sparky mate who had iver 10k knicked iff from while he was on site, speak to your broker and just demand the insurance you want. You might pay for it but u can get it.

    saw two cars go racing up my street the other day, its a dead end street. Only one car comes back past. Minutes later the fire brigade goes by. They torched one of the cars, all over in less than 20mins. Not the first time cars have been torched up that street. I just don't see the point of stealing a car if you are just going to burn it.

    That's not good. What's worse is IF they ever get caught they get a slap on the wrist as usual.

    spot on mate with the insurance ... I look at the after sales service of insurance companies when it comes to claims , good getting a cheap deal but if they have too many restrictions why bother... I see so many times how people get screwed when it comes to claiming

    not school hols, been going on for a year or two....cops did a big ice dealer bust a few weeks ago, got over 30 around the Nowra area, which according to some has led to a lack and subsequent price increase....hence the break-ins - talk around here of time for vigilantes too

    That's why I moved up to Doveton, can't say I've had a problem. I
    Saying that my security system is getting old so when he goes I will have a male & female Akita. If you have seen them hunt in pairs you will understand why few people will jump the fence.
    Could be up for 4 big ones for something half decent and only pet quality. What does a traditional security system go for these days?

    what concerns me is when i park the trailer with rider on and go kms whippering....i have a good hitch system thats locks but whats stopping them taking the mower off the trailer..Its under camera watch on all the tabarets that i do but that doesn't stop them....maybe buy a male & female Akita thats sits on the trailer...does worry me when i do the big jobs....some of the hotels have secure areas that i can use but not all of my jobs...what do others do to tackle this fear????

    The southern peninsula has been getting done over recently as well. From trades utes and trailers, to sheds with mini bikes and other equipment.
