Just a word of warning:
I had my number plates stolen off my car last night outside retravision in rockingham. Apparently crafty fellows are stealing the plates to put on their own cars. heading to their nearest petrol station, filling up with fuel and doing a runner. cheeky!
I will be attaching my new plates with nuts and bolts or some sort of proprietary head(i.e. not a philips).

oooh that is cheeky..
well keep it on the DL but i can help u there mate, having worked as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, i know of a lot of hardware u could use.
heat-treated aluminium aircraft rivets, witha shear strength of 22,000 pounds per sq. inch. which would be kinda hard to take off...
if u want something simple, there is another kind of philips head screw called a (reed and prince) screw, this is deeper and narrower and attemping to remove it with a normal philips (as it looks exactly the same) will only strip the screw. get em from bunnings or marlows.
or you could go hardcore and use a TIG welder to weld the bloody thing to ur car, just drain ur fuel tank or maybe use an oxy torch, can pick up an oxy kit for around $500 these days and i have a ticket and the know-how to do it 4 ya mate.

oh and another good deterrent or simply just something funny to do, is to go to a gunstore, buy a TASER, hook wires up to the electordes on either sides of the device, and hook those wires up to a 100,000 volt paper capacitor (dick smiths), then store it in your engine bay and route the wires through the dash, into the doors and onto the bottom and tops of the door handles with a negative on the lever and the positive wire on the bracker.
thus when someone/anyone trys to open your door unexpected, they will be knocked unconscious through a shock to their central nervous system, possibly sterlising them for life. but at least ehy wouldnt have any more ****t up progeny...damn midland...

Car Thieves Photos:
5 photos posted in 'Other' Section of photo gallery.
They are very clear images.
One shows the green wagon they were driving parked at the servo.
It has a dent in the front guard.

As I said before, leave a bottle of whiskey in the car, spike it drainfluid or something else and wait for the guy to show up in hospital

Bit dodgey posting anonymous photos of alleged thieves on a public website.
What if it aint them?

Touching thought, however the original email came from a most reliable source.
Obviously the police are involved if the credit card has been traced and CCTV footage obtained?

Good News:
I just rang the bloke who wrote the email (00412287549).
The police have the name and address of the bloke in the photo,
and are on his tail.
It was only the bloke on the LEFT that is the thief
(he is well known to police with multiple previous offences).
The bloke on the RIGHT was an innocent bystander.
Cheers )_)_)_)_)_)_)_)_)_)_)_)_)_)_u
