rosswalker 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Feel for you man. If you need a scottish contingent to come and break some skulls I'm sure it could be arranged, just give the word. Fingers crossed. - Ross Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy 0 Posted February 20, 2007 cheers for all the support guys, no news as yet although RE: insurance, couple of interested points here http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/p ... car-38.htm and http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/p ... r-cont.htm all boils down whether I have been "reckless" by dropping my keys, or whether they will uphold on the basis that my car was locked and immobilised therefore "steps were taken to secure the vehicle". It will be a hard work to win from the insurer, just need to hear from them and start a complaint procedure if necessary. Worst thing is as I was chasing down the road all I can picture is thinking bloody hell that looks and sounds well nice :D when people talk about cars with soul, the sense of loss I'm feeling basically sums up the soul of our cars, give me that over some rice anyday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craigowl 0 Posted February 20, 2007 $hit! What rotten luck. And they tell us car crime is going down in some parts! Any political party that will be the toughest, or have the most constructive policy to stem the flow of crime by the parasites in our nation must get a mountain of votes from the public this time.

scarlet_vr6 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Worst thing is as I was chasing down the road all I can picture is thinking bloody hell that looks and sounds well nice :D so sad that you had to see what it looks like on the move in those circs. I'm amazed that you're joking about this - I know I would be at the other end of the 'laugh or cry' line. That or still :bad-words: when people talk about cars with soul, the sense of loss I'm feeling basically sums up the soul of our cars, give me that over some rice anyday I'm with you on that. Just thinking about what has happened to you makes me know exactly what you mean. fingers still crossed for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted February 21, 2007 Oh mate :( I'm absolutely devastated for you! I suppose in a way its better than getting it back having been thrashed to hell and back by some pikey piece of crap but this is not exactly the dream outcome. Really don't know what to say other than i'm very sorry to hear about what happened. I hope the police manage to catch them.. low life pieces of $h1t.

Louie Lungbubble 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Aw mate. So sorry the f***ers burnt it out. Suppose as you said though, the tiny silver lining is you're not waiting and waiting to find out what's goin on. Had a car robbed and torched too. Know that sick feeling. Hope the insurance comes through for you too mate. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbeige 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Ah mate that is sooooo w@nk :( Totally gutted for you, but as others have said its better to know what happened than to be sat there wondering. So, so gutted for you.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walesy 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Just read this and can only repeat what others have said, totaly gutted for you. I woke up to find a scumbag in my bedroom going through my jeans to find the keys to my rado a few years back , luckily they didn't manage to get away with it and threw the keys as they were chased off. There's nothing worse than having something stolen from you. :( Hopefully you'll be back with another rado soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
