WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET THEM WIN ANYMORE.
G'day,
We're Lachlan and Jack. We grew up in Mount Druitt, Western Sydney. You know the area - 45 minutes west of the Harbour Bridge but might as well be a different planet. The Sydney the tourists never see. The suburb everyone locks their doors driving through. Where cop sirens are your morning alarm and every second house has bars on the windows.
Our parents worked themselves to the bone. Dad did 14-hour shifts at the factory in Smithfield, Western Sydney. His hands were permanently black from machinery oil. Mum cleaned offices in Parramatta from midnight to 6am, then came home to get us ready for school. Four years of this. Four years of two-minute noodles and hand-me-downs. Four years to save $8,000 for a 1998 Commodore.
That car wasn't just transport. It was proof that hard work meant something. It was how Dad got to work. How Mum did the shopping. How we visited Pop in hospital. It was the only thing of value we owned.
June 15th, 2009. 3:47am.
Dad went outside to warm up the car for work.
Empty driveway.
I'll never forget the sound he made. Not a scream. Not a shout. Just this hollow, defeated sound like someone had punched him in the gut.
The cops showed up three hours later. Took notes. Shrugged. "Probably in pieces by now, mate."
Insurance? Don't make me laugh. Six weeks of forms. Interviews. "Did you lock it?" "Are you sure you locked it?" "Can you prove you locked it?" They fought us on every dollar. Finally paid out $3,200 - less than half what we paid. Meanwhile, Dad lost his job because he couldn't get to work. Mum's cleaning rounds got cut because she was unreliable without a car.
One stolen car. Whole family destroyed.
And we're not the only ones.
Australia used to be the lucky country. The safe country. The place where you could leave your door unlocked. Now? Every 11 minutes another family goes through what we did. Western Sydney. Brisbane's south. Melbourne's north. It's spreading like cancer through every major city.
The government doesn't care. The cops can't stop it. Insurance companies get rich either way.
So we decided to fight back.
We spent three years in a garage in Blacktown, Western Sydney, designing something that actually works. Not some fancy app that thieves can hack. Not some alarm they ignore. A brutal, simple fact: If the wheel can't turn, the car can't move.
Military-grade steel cable. Loops through your steering wheel. Locks into your seatbelt buckle. Thief sees it? They move on. Thief misses it? They're stuck in your driveway looking stupid.
We call it the Anti Apex Driveaway Defender because we're done being victims.
This is bigger than business.
Every lock we sell is a middle finger to the scumbags terrorising our suburbs. Every protected car is a family that won't go through what we did.
Safety isn't a luxury for rich suburbs with security cameras and private patrols. It's a basic human right. Your right. Your family's right.
Australia's changing. Mount Druitt spread to Penrith. Penrith spread to Parramatta. Now even the North Shore's getting hit. We can cry about it, or we can lock up and fight back.
Our promise to you:
- Designed in Sydney for Australian thieves
- Works in 15 seconds because you've got a life to live
- Costs less than one tank of petrol
- 90 days to test it or your money back
- Thief somehow beats it? We'll pay your insurance excess
- 1% of profits goes to families who've been hit
We're not going to sugarcoat it: They're coming for your car. Maybe tonight. Maybe next week. But they're coming.
The question is: Will you be ready?
Lock it or lose it.
Lachlan & Jack

P.S. - Mum still checks the driveway three times before bed. Old habits from old wounds. But her new car? It's got our lock on it. She sleeps better now. You will too.
