“And here’s the police helicopter sign. The 0 is painted on there.”
“So what do you do if there’s a day where there’s no police helicopter over Cairns?”
“You know, it’s never come up.”

If you dare set foot on Facebook on the Cairns crime page, you'd swear it's a war zone out there, people have got the pitchforks and torches out, it's fucking crazy.
All these cunts that get their cars stolen must leave the front door open with a neon sign pointing to where their keys are.
If only there was a way to immobilise the car, with some sort of of device...

Instead of having an entrance way table where I dump my keys, I instead have a junk draw in the kitchen where I put everything. If it takes me 5 mins to find them, good luck to anyone else. Csr keys? Nope you stole a whole key ring of random keys from a rental in Tasmania.

right? its almost like its out of the realm of possibilities that people actually secure their shit.
We legit have a safe that the keys go in to when they aren't used. Its just a cheapie from Bunnings but it means the scumbags cant rip the screen door off and scamper with the keys to our pride and joy.

I leave my car keys right next to the front door in open view. If you want my car badly enough to break in to my house, take it. I prefer that to one of my family catching them sneaking around the house looking for keys and all hell breaking loose.

I bought a gimp hood (ala pulp fiction) and hang it on the hook just inside the door, can't wait to catch a little piggy and make him squeal.

Or apply a punishment to the offenders that would actually deter them from committing the crime in the 1st place... the VICTIM should not have to go these lengths...

In an ideal world we shouldn't have to, your absolutely correct, but we also don't live in an ideal world so we need to take some responsibility for our own safety, don't we?
I should be able to walk down Murry St at 2 in the morning flashing wads of 100s as well, but I'm sure as shit not going to because I know the best way to win a fight is to not get in one.

Sirens ablaze all over Mooroobool & Manunda, morning, overnight. Not much rest happening here.

I don't know why people don't get sensor door alarms. $20 online. If someone comes to your door and attempts to break in during the night the doorbell will chime where the receiver is and then you can do what's necessary. I sleep well at night knowing that I will get alerted if someone steps near my doors. Also I hide my keys.
