Car security-bolt to the ground framework type.

[dave289]

does anyone use those bolt to the ground type security frames where you lift the framework and lock it to prevent your car from being driven out?are they any good?do you recommend it and how much to they cost?

Google 'bollards', it looks like there are a few manufacturers.
Isn't it a shame that we have to resort to this kind of security?

[dave289]

I guess not to many people on here have one,so far no first hand experience comments about them.any thoughts, do you reckon there worth having ?

There are plenty of websites about them. Don't know if they would be too much of a deterant. If a thief wants your car badly enough they'll find a way to pinch it unfortunately. Sux doesn't it Dave, you bust your nuts to get something nice then some other scumbag wants it more than you do

I had a pole system a few years ago similar to this one
Impact Security
The company I used has closed down. When we put them in last
time I was extremely happy with them. We even drove the 4x4 into
em to see how strong they were. Stuffed the bullbar and pole still in place.
I have been looking at these again lately myself.
They are about $430 + gst per pole.

I was thinking about putting one in a garage at my aunties cause she does not have a car anymore and i can store a car in there myself,thought the scumbags might see that and then think fug it i'll try something easier,so it may be a deterrant.

I know a garage in North Epping NSW that has thick chain placed in concrete when floor was laid.. He locks it over the cars diff...

Just insure the bloody thing.

Unless it's an authentic GTHO, something original you've had for years or the product of hours of your own work, insurance should be fine.

Set your agreed value high enough to compensate you for any theft and there you go. Just how many people here think they cannot be adequately financially compensated if their car went missing?

My car's a pretty stock XR8, I'd happily take my agreed value if it got stolen.

If you are serious about spending that amount of money and having the inconvenience of having to actually lock it off each time why not look at a
