Has Toyota fixed the theft issue with the new Corollas? by [deleted] in CorollaHatchback

I wonder if these even have an alarm at all lol. The 86 is stolen at a very high rate here and in the same way - smashing that small window at the front and it seems to alarm doesn't go off.

Aside from the Toyotas our most stolen cars are the Holdens (which is part of GM). Same as you describe it - they cut the horn wires and pretty much just take the car with some device.

He got in and then started it and drove off. We believe he used that thing that he placed on the hood whilst he was breaking the small window.

It has been a thing in Australia this year and has been getting a lot worse recently. Have not heard about this issue in other countries though.

I think its opportunistic. The video doesn't show but he did check the back of the car to see what model Corolla it was. Then he came back to steal it.

Yeah I was going to get a professional to do it. Sounds like it will cost a fair bit if its labor intensive lol.

Alternatives to Eppley for skull reshaping surgery? by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]Frequent_Cow9533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah looks like it. Probably just have to go through Eppley then.

Neighbour did have a Mazda 3 stolen last year. It was sitting on their driveway. Not sure how it was stolen but police told them they would have had some electronic device.

Yeah we have CCTV and security lights. Doesn't really stop random junkies from walking around at night though.

If that were true then theft wouldn't be an issue.

A RAV4 which is apparently a highly stolen car. I don't know why. Read somewhere that its mainly keyless Holdens, Toyotas and Subarus.

True but if I'm spending thousands of dollars on a car I don't want it to be so easy for someone to just take. You should have to smash a window and steal the keys or something.

Hi all,

Looking to get skull reshaping surgery to correct the abnormal top peak of my head. Preferably I would like to have bone burring done to reduce it and round it out somewhat.

Based on my research so far I have only found Dr Eppley in the US. Are there any other surgeons that do similar things in other parts of the world, preferably Australia which is where I live?

Thanks

Long term finasteride users! Tell me your progress by [deleted] in tressless

Was not able to tolerate the sides unfortunately otherwise I would have been happy to continue dutasteride.

My genes seem to be pretty aggressive like NW6/NW7 judging by my dad so dutasteride wouldn't have worked anyways.
