My brothers VL Commodore has been broken into numerous times for the stereo. Last time they stole $1000+ of stereo gear, without setting off the shock sensor until the last second (very professional thieves). It now has a microwave sensor, however it is usually turned off as my car would set it off just by me starting it. As it was parked outside it would go off all the time.
Unfortunately the car had been cased, and had he bought new stereo gear it too would have been stolen as well. He moved out and now parks his car in a high security car park, and luckily hasn't been broken into since.

No offence Anto, but it
IS a VL. They take about 2 seconds to break into. if the locks havent been replaced, nearly any key from a HQ holden up to the VL will open the door, and possibly even start it.
VL's are widely known to be easy to get into, and are one of the more popular holdens, hence they get flogged heaps.
I still remember the time I locked the keys in my old HQ. My GF's house key opened the damn thing straight up. That's when I found SOLEX
And the press button I had hidden in the ignition line which had to be depressed at the same time as the key was turned. Cant hid it in my favourite spot on a Mini though
