I don’t have a garage or even a carport, but the car is parked in such a way that its impossible to drag it onto a truck. You couldn’t physically drag it to where it could be winched onto a truck and the steering is on full lock too, so you couldn’t even wreck the parking break and get it out of gear and use gorillas to move it to where the truck could get to. And the dog would give the game away even if you showed up with a truck anyway, let alone the apes trying to get into the car. And its not the sort of car anyone would want to go to that much trouble for anyway. > I was thinking more of when I park it in public. Even that’s not as easy as it looks. In theory if the car is parked on the side of the road, you can just show up with a truck and drag it onto the truck with the winch, but you are sure to be noticed doing that, blocking the traffic with the truck. And its easy enough to have a tracking system in the car which sees the cops show up as its being dragged onto the truck. Not that easy in a normal carpark either. Sure, it wouldn’t be hard to make it look like a car repossession, but again, the car is of no interest to anyone to go to that much trouble.

Even easier to have a proper movement alarm and automatic calling of the cops when its moved with full tracking.

That's true, most places I'd park in public could have video coverage, and there always seem to be people with mobile phones taking video of anything unusual. >>>> AIUI, car thieves focus more on very common cars, as they're >>>> easy to sell (or sell the parts from, more likely). > >>> And are now into full home invasion to get the keys so they can >>> just drive it away, and fuck you over so you can't ring the cops >>> and tell them its been stolen. > >> Here, of course, the thieves have to be more desperate to risk >> going into the house to get the keys.

Some of them do just that, and are removed from the gene pool for their efforts. In a recent case, the family of the dead home invaders complained about the use of lethal force, saying it wasn't "fair" since their boy wasn't nearly as well armed. >>>> Mine has a standard, > >>> So is mine. > >>>> so anyone with towing ability could get in, locked or not, > >>> by smashing the window, sure, but that would have the car >>> screaming its lungs out even if the dog was out. > > And all us neighbours always show up when one of the alarms starts > screaming even tho its mostly false alarms, even if its 2am etc. > >> With mine, they could just cut the top if I had it closed.

I could lock it in a reasonably empty lot, then climb in, put it in neutral and try pushing it. I'm probably not going to bother, though. I've had the car almost 9 years and nobody's tried to steal it yet. >> If anyone attempted to get into the garage or backyard, the dogs >> would sound their own alarm, but again I'm more thinking of it >> being stolen from a public lot. > > Even easier to have a proper movement alarm and automatic calling of > the cops when its moved with full tracking.

On a modern car just turning the ignition off will usually prevent anybody without specialised equipment driving away with it. My Mazda 3 even locks the doors automatically when I walk away from it. My 1991 MX5 is quite a different proposition though, hence the immobiliser and the lack of need to lock it. > >> I dont even bother to wind the windows up when I leave mine like that. >> It does have an immobiliser though, nobody is going to steal it. > >

The TPG FTTN modem is crap, but on a 25/5 connection, speed test gives 21.4/4.3 over wifi so throughput is not a problem. Locking up at random intervals is (about once a week requiring a power cycle) and the DHCP server is complete rubbish, everything in our house is set on static addresses.

It's actually about the only option with the useless Huewai FTTN modem that TPG foists on it's unsuspecting customers. The DHCP implementation is severely broken and if you use it for more than a very small number of devices you end up with constant IP conflicts, and the modem's response to thos eis to lock up. I have ordered a TP-Link modem and when that arrives I will hassle the setup data out of TPG (who cunningly lock down their piece of shit modem so that the only paramaters the user can changes are userID, IP address and password.

Sure, but it makes a lot more sense to replace that steaming turd of a modem. That way you don’t have to do a full reboot every week and can do the full 100/40 that the NBN service can do over wifi too. And if you have enough of a clue to change to MR, you get a much better modem for $1, and a much cheaper 100/40 unlimited service too. > The DHCP implementation is severely broken and if you use it for > more than a very small number of devices you end up with constant > IP conflicts, and the modem's response to thos eis to lock up. > I have ordered a TP-Link modem A vastly better approach. > and when that arrives I will hassle > the setup data out of TPG > (who cunningly lock down their piece of shit modem so that the only > paramaters the user can changes are userID, IP address and password. Makes more sense to change to MyRepublic instead and costs nothing.

I am in the process of establishing that I am not getting what I am paying for from TPG so that I can accept their breach of contract and terminate. i shall look seriously at MyRepublic as their replacement.

But IMO it makes a lot more sense to change to MR instead and fix that and quite a few other downsides with TPG as well.

Not barking mad, the DHCP server is completely broken. It takes ages to assign an IP address, the first symptom was the internet going missing for 30 seconds or so at times, that was traced to the lease running out and a new (or the same) address was required. That was fixed by making leases of infinite duration, but then if something went offline it got a completely different IP address when it cam back on very annoying particularly with things like printers and a bunch of IOT sensors that I have monitoring things like solar power output and solar hot water temperature. The solution, give everything a static address it is trivial to do and takes the crap DHCP server out of the picture.

But does nothing about the other problems with that steaming turd like needing to be reset weekly and not doing wifi at anything like the rate that the service is operating at with the higher rates.

I've never had to reset mine, and I checked the wifi speed last night. it was 22 mbps, so that's very good considering I'm on the 25mbps plan. the modem is Netcomm NF12. maybe TPG also use other other brands? I'm wondering now if I've done the right thing changing to MR especially since I've signed up for 12 months :( -- "Multiculturanism equals white ethnocide" http://thereligionofpeace.com http://www.barenakedislam.com/ http://www.siotw.org
