I had a great night with my girl in the city on saturday night and on the way back to the carpark i had noticed that the front passenger window was down. I questioned my girlfriend because i throught she might have left it unwound, but i usaully always check before i lock the door. As we got closer my fears began to rise and i knew exactly what had happened. The result - my girlfriends bag gone (fortunately she had the neccessities on her), my 2 month old GPS gone, blaupunkt deck gone (the rare occasion that i had left it attached), my ray ban sunnies gone, and my brand new armani cologne gone. The GPS & Sunnies were all in the glovebox and i have tinted windows so i have no idea how they could have seen a black bag considering the upholstery of the car is also black. All up $1700 gone down the tube, plus the repairs on the window.
One clean break of the glass, with hardly any of the residual shatter falling on the outside of the car. No doubt a pro, who is accustomed to a smash and grab, bloody bastards!
I notified the security attendents at the car park and the entire time all they could say is that we are not liable for loss of goods... at the time i didn't care, all i was after was some good advice, they didn't even have the number for the local cop shop, even though one guy commented that there had been numerous thefts at the same car park. I finally placed a police assistance report and since then nothing. They didn't even send out a unit since it wasn't common procedure for this sought of incident. The car park didnt even assist or allow me to use any of thier facilities to clean the glass... how useless. So i'll name and shame. Harbourside carpark Pyrmont. Don't ever use this carpark, they have no footage and no security officers on patrol despite the rise in incidents. I bet one of the staff were involved.
Just a word of warning, be sure to hide all signs of possesions, (probably common sense), but these guys knew the car hadn't been alarmed (no alarm in the factory vectra). Make sure if you have comprehensive insurance as i do, to cover contents, i have lost a GPS system to the value of $1100, stereo unit and sunnies. Also keep an eye out for any suss people looking at you and make sure you remove all your visible stuff way before you park your car, i had the GPS on and placed it in the golvebox when i had parked. I was in a bit of a rush too, so i didn't pay much attention.
All up a valuable experience, i have now learnt that people cant be trusted. For the cops to allow this to continually occur is beyond me, they are basically invinsible because no one cares and they will continue to screw people over.
