The reason I start this thread is I've notice for a while now since 2007. Most car that are stolen or break in are either those car that took part in Autoshow , appears in car magazine before or are well known around a certain area due to it's specialty like it's fast or got some goodies inside the car. I'm saying this by seeing the real things that happen and not guessing.
Autoshow can be a chance for the thieves to see what's in your car much more better and know every bit of things you hide in the car. Why, because we need to display everything to impress the judges. It's really like your car is post naked in front of the public crowd. Everyone sees everything. Real things that happen to these cars, like Rhys, Rhys friend's white putra, the Subaru 8000...just to name a few...
Those in Magazine share the same fate as well as photograph of your ride is posted in magazine that everyone can get a copy of. The same thing happen to 1 of Hypertune's featured car, A Toyota Caldina GT4. Appear on an issue and the next issue showing that it's was broken into. Stole some of the performance parts. Even those who frequent the performance shop must keep an eye out for strangers that keep peeping into your car as they might be targeting you car too.
I saying this as not to discourage people to take part in any of the above mentioned event. It's just that I saw the pattern of the crime that happened. Let us discuss about this topic. Even cars that are just ordinary can still get stolen but what is the percentage compare to those well known cars.
What are the things that could potentially attract these thieves and how they choose a victim (car) if they were multiple of them appear like in an autoshow.
