StuartFZR400 0 Posted March 9, 2005 Im fed up with it. Every where I go I have to consider if my car is safe, from either mindless vandalism or theft. Today, parked in one small nice spot of Birmingham (slight contracdition in terms), I walked 200yrds to a shop to get some change for the parking meter. Once inside I heard my car alarm go off, so dashed outside, saw some lad drive off (who had been sat behind me). And no it wasnt the motion sensor; I know for fact that the alarm was set off by the door being tried. I suppose this has been a factor in big cities for many years, but its creeping into towns too. What is there to deter them? Nothing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garry 0 Posted March 9, 2005 I'd give a months salary to catch somone f***ing with my motor - it'd be worth it just to see the look on their face as I pass sentence and deal out the punishment :twisted: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dig776 0 Posted March 9, 2005 I woke up one Saturday morning in Plymouth to find someone had picked up three large peices of concrete and slammed it through the rear windows of four cars outside my house! luckily mine was 5th and they ran out of concrete! Police came round last night (two weeks later) to investigate. Genious :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RACK 0 Posted March 9, 2005 It's wrong you can't have a nice car without being constantly worried about it. I wont leave mine anywhere and I'm getting worse! I live in a smallish town. When I had my mk1 I caught a young scrote trying to steal my dust caps so I clipped him. 5 mins later his dad was knocking on my door saying if I touched his son again he'd kill me. I kept calm explained his son was a light fingered scamp and he said I shouldn't worry about dust caps!!! 10 mins and an argument later the bloke and his son limped home, funnily enough none of my dust caps have gone missing since. It seems the only thing these ignorant people understand is violence Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
