Dboy 0 Posted January 28, 2004 i know, its unbelievable aint it!! The boys on the Ford forum have had a rough couple of weeks with a members car going up in flames after muchos money spent on it, 2 legendary 3drs going walkies and a host of other problems. It is nice to see most forums clubbing together as car enthusiasts at times like these though to help in the return of cars that go walkies. (bar a couple of arsey ones though, namely BMW forum who objected to a ford post on there precious web space - dicks) lets hope this one gets returned soon :!: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g-master 0 Posted January 28, 2004 Tell me about it or rather my mate who had all the glass on his focus smashed so they could get locking wheel nut which was in the boot and then took off with his new alloys only been on the car a week :mad: :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G-Lader 0 Posted January 28, 2004 thats bad news. Specially if you live in Wisbech as I can see the rating going from C to F Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted January 29, 2004 Just read about this on the Saxo forum, and the general consensus is that Wisbech is already a dodgy as hell area, so god knows how thats got a C rating. Apparently one street has got CCTV cameras at each end watching it all the time as its a hot spot just about every crime going.. and Coventry with its E rating has some roads I wouldn't go down in DAY TIME that have no camera or anything. So something amiss somewhere. But as for the cossie.. well i'm gutted for him. I don't understand how these scumbags just don't have any respect for peoples posessions these days. Disgusting :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dboy 0 Posted January 29, 2004 couple of scoobies and an evoVI went walkies inthe area over the last couple of days as well. I know that one of them was done by masked armed robbers - seems to be very organized round there at the moment. not a good state of affairs . The evo was recovered a mile or so down the road due to the security cutting all the power!! there is still no sign of Bruces 500 though. :( just hope they havent got it stripped yet. hopefully the weather has them pinned down somewhere!! just have to keep on looking!

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 29, 2004 Yep I used to live in Wisbech and it's a complete sh*t hole. It's the sort of place where if you look at someone the wrong way, you'll get stabbed. The only good thing about that place is Franks Fish & Chips.....if it's still there! K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 29, 2004 You've got to be pretty dumb to steal a well known car like that anyway..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stormseeker 0 Posted January 29, 2004 I wonder if it's because they are so well known, well "advertised" if you like, that these crims are just typing "modified Sierra RS500" in google and finding them to order :shock: or trawling the forums looking for cars to nick... they must be after stripping it down (lots of juicy modified bits to sell on? or export it?), as it is so well known that surely no one would touch it in this country?

Dboy 0 Posted January 29, 2004 yeah there is lots of discussion going on at the moment on other forums relating to this. It does seem strange that two very well known highly modified 3drs go missing in the same week along with other scoobs and evos. and also the fact that they were well executed robberies. I reckon most likely gone for export :( hopefully its not on a boat as we speak , but you never know! :mad: The security on these cars was top notch as well, so joyriders would seem out of the question.

kuksool 0 Posted January 29, 2004 Its like something out of gone in 60 seconds at the moment!!!

Jim 1 Posted January 29, 2004 It does make you wonder a little bit indeed, about giving your car too much exposure. These are probably quite organised professionals.. what annoys me is that all the security on them doesn't seem to be stopping these cars from going walkies. Though there seems to be a real crime epidemic at the minute.. not good at all :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 29, 2004 These are probably quite organised professionals.. what annoys me is that all the security on them doesn't seem to be stopping these cars from going walkies. That's because they're too easy to bypass. At the end of the day, if a thief really wants your car, he'll take it regardless, even if it's surrounded by 809 starving Rottweilers and 10 ft electric fences. People like that don't give a dam and have nothing to lose, having undoubtedley done time for similar things already. Just a walk in the park to them.... Remember that program a few years ago about organised car theft? The program crew pulled up outside a house at night with a low-loader and put the car on it and drove off to check public reaction. NOBODY, questioned it. They even did it again in broad daylight with the same result. People just have a "it's not my problem" attitude. And remember, laws are put in place for the 5% of the population that don't give a feck. K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
