Bandits stealing stick shift

[pugboy]

Are most bandits capable of driving manual vehicles ?
what are the stats ?

[Lance]

Very interesting question. I've been wondering about this as well.

[unmannerly]

For real.... I sure some of them don't even possess a license

[j.o.e]

Bandits will steal whatever there is demand for in terms of parts or vehicles ..... Manual isn't rocket science and it can be learned by someone who isn't even legally registered to drive.
I suspect however the low demand for manual vehicles may be more of a deterrent than the bandit's driving ability.
One friend I know had his manual Mazda stolen tho.

Not sure your logic holds up though.

As you said, the vehicles are sold mainly for parts. Aside from the manual transmission, the vehicles are pretty much the same and can be parted and sold in exactly the same manner.

^^^^^ Hence bandits will steal a manual vehicle if there is demand for the box...... no use going thru the hassle of stealing a manual for generic parts if there are 10 other available autos. Bandits now steal specific vehicles almost on order. The other day an Xtrail GT was stolen....specifically for the SR20-VET.

Also with newer vehicles engines and different transmissions don't mate as easily....if a bandit wants a manual vehicle parts... he's taking yours.

Hmm. Xtrail vet with a p11 with box...

Hmm. Xtrail vet IN a p11 with box...

correction....the SR20VET is the SAME engine...just a different crossmember an mounts...
easy to transfer to into a non equpped P11.

but why run down an steal a Xtrail for the VET when you gettin the VET from other cars...P11...u14...etc

unless they get ah order for a FULL xtrail...VET for one customer - doors to another customer - windscreen for another - supsension an brakes another customer...interior to another....

WOW WTF..thats a whole car right there...

[Ronaldo95163]

Xtrail parts expensive. That whole vehicle scrappin and selling for good money right down to the chassis. Bamboo have quite a few stolen goods also.

[SMc]

Do they? Where?

What he said. There's no other vet. Vet came stock in the gt xtrail only.

So you hadda get it from a gt or build it yourself

correct but my question is WHY steal an xtrail for the VET...
when other cars come with VET..p11 / u14....etc....
it would be easier to steal another car that comes equipped with the VET if the bandit wants to steal a car with a VET.......unless the bandit gets a specific order for a xtrail GT and is able to disassemble it complete and parts it off...

but VET is VET....

lol srs thing doh

If a car looking like the owner neglects it, would they assume the parts not working good and not steal it?

[black start]

I honestly feel it is a deterrent which works well with being a sufferer but most men need to look fresh nuh....

[Morpheus]

Man I know some shake down looking cars get swiped eh. Doh put it past them...

[supercharged turbo]

Skoda is anti-theft?

[black start]
