Title: Thieving Scum
Post by: Dubber on 24 November 2003, 15:03
Looks like I wasn't the only one getting there car parts stolen last night...


My project car is parked in a yard (hidden between vans) and someone broke in and did the following:

Its a joke - been working on this car for a year now and as soon as its ready to go to the sprayers (after a engine transplant) its bummed again....

Sorry to hear that buddy - you have my sympathy.

It is getting ridiculous, the number iof people having sh!t broken into or stolen. Something has to change.

I'm all for draconian action, chopping off fingers, that sort of stuff. Who's with me?!

Sorry mate  :'(

Chopping fingers off sounds good to me.

Watchout dubbers. Winter is probably the time where most break-ins occur

The thing is - nicking this stuff is pointless unless you have a GTI or know someone with one....

Also - what gets me is - who knew I had an induction kit on (done 4 miles in the car in a year!) and who the hell would smash the back window to flip the catch for the bonnet? very strange - they even took the bracket and the nuts for the induction kit  >:(

I would love to beat the hell out of who did it!! satisfaction that would be!

That's bad news and what's worse is its obvious those parts have been stolen for or by a fellow VW owner.  >:( >:( >:(

Has anyone seen those probes that are stuck to the steering wheel?

15,000 volts if someone touches the steering wheel!

I think they are great but the rubbish law will sue your butt if the thief gets badly injured.

Silly law but imagine if you had something similar on your door locks, rear window heater lines etc etc.

Would be an effective theif detterant ???

a few after I got my car back on the road last year it was frosted up so I started the engine and put the blowers on to defrost it. I then ran back to my bedroom window (on the ground floor) and knocked on it cos I knew my sister was on my PC. then ran in, grabbed the de-icer off the side in my bedroom and ran back out in the space of 10 seconds. I got back out and there was a lad, ON MY DRIVE, about to open the door and jump in. I asked him what he was doing and he turns round and asks for a lift to a chippy less than a mile down the round. I told him to fsck off. he then starts saying he's going to beat me up for laughing at him. eventually he fcsked off. cheeky kunt!

is it just me or has the entire world gotten to polically correct over the last 10 years. I would have never thought of stealing someones car or anything like that when I was a teenager. Getting caught and going to jail just didn't sound fun. Now it seems like the world is more about rehabilitation than punishment and too many times the property owner is arrested for assault and the criminal goes free. Seems some what backwards. I caught a kid trying to steal the radio from my car last summer. Funny thing is when I called the police and they came for him I think all that happened was they took him home. I still see the little sh!t around from time to time but he runs like mad when he sees my car. :)

Its because the so called justice system is a bag of old horse cock that they go out robbing, if you get caught robbing from cars it should be straight in the shower to pick the soap up for Mr Bridger.
