Default ARRRRR's and Long Island NY

This is mostly for the NY NJ kids.

Is ARRRR theft a huge problem around Long Island??

Thanks,

Matt

one of the worst areas in the country. Socal and Toronto Canada seem to be hot spots as well, among others.

depends on which part of LI. The best way to keep it safe is still if you have a indoor garage to park.

u moving to LI or just visiting ??

My girl is going to school there for most of this summer so I would be just visiting.

Looks like I gotta get of my FA and get my GTi back together.

Thanks guys!

I would definitely try and get your GTI running. College/University parking lots are primetime theft spots also..

I had mine down on LI this past weekend actually. Needless to say, it was blocked in by a limo, and 3 other cars on all sides

I'm from Long Island and depending on what area of Long Island you live, you'll be safe or sorry.

A friend, and a previous owner of ITR got his garage broken into in Long Island and car stolen.

Also, I hear about one stolen ITR every couple months in NJ/NY.

But then, there are others, like me and members of R-Speed that never had theft attempt. There are ways to protect it...just use common sense.

in LI, let's just say on the long island expressway exits 35 and up should keep your car safe from theft.
All the other ones below that are in queens, where theft is pretty common.

Thanks,

AW

$300,000? That's like the price of a decent Condo in NY these days. You better start with at least $500,000 to start thinking about a house in Long Island and survive its land property tax.

Yeah, I know prices are outrageous there but $300K is all I really can afford. I will be working on Long Island which is why I would prefer to live there but if it is not possible maybe I should commute.

I guess it (the housing price)all depends on which part of LI. A good area which is closer to nyc is much more expensive compare to the one further away.

There were 3 ITRs at the M-club autox last Sunday. Seemed like a healthy number of ITRs at an autox for a ny autox. I'm just wondering though, since there's a few STi and EVOs out on the streets now here in nyc, wouldn't that bring down the desire to steal an ITR?
