I think what you're recalling is that since July 2001, all new passenger cars must be sold with an engine immobiliser which complies with Australian Design Rules. On older cars, some insurance companies require, or give discounts for, the addition of an engine immobiliser. Although Australian police recommend that you always lock your car, there is no law that I'm aware of which penalizes you if you don't lock your car. A car security pamphlet from the National Road and Motoring Association of Australia. nrma.com.au It lists the cars most frequently stolen in Australia. All of them are cars which were made pre-July 2001. 1 . Hyundai Excel 2 . Holden Commodore/Calais 3 . Ford Falcon/Fairmont 4 . Honda Civic 5 . Mitsubishi Pajero 6 . Toyota Camry 7 . Mitsubishi Lancer 8 . Hyundai Lantra 9 . Subaru WRX 10. Ford Laser 11. Nissan Pulsar 12. Toyota Hiace The absurd length the "justice" system goes to in Australia I think it was, was to prosecute people for failing to lock their car. It was/is an offence to leave a car unlocked. I don't think I'm making that up. .
