Unfortunately this is getting more and more common, and its EVERYWHERE in the country.

But without a garage, or parking your car out of sight, there isnt much that you can do.

Trackers would help get it back, but not all of the time.

Thankfully not down here, although for how long i'm not sure.

The thing is it happens so often and you rarely hear of people a) finding the cars b) sentancing the people responsible it's only a matter of time before other like minded assholes start carrying out similar thefts. I presume the whole operation takes a fairly organised gang to complete though, stealing the car is the easy bit. Getting it back on the road so that it's untracable is a little bit more complicated.

Also I'd rather not have the car back thankyou so a tracker is definatly a no go.

Maybe if this country was able to hand out more suitable jail sentances (along with removal of limbs) it may have an effect on peoples attitudes towards each other, untill then there is no detterant to the scumbags wanting to top up there JSA with a few hundred quid cash in hand for an hours work  :angry:

Glad you are both OK. Whereabouts in the NW are you roughly, e.g. nearest city?
