The Curse of the Gti

[andykram]

  Leeds is the car crime capital of Britain.The unwelcome label for the Yorkshire city, where owners have a 5.5 per cent chance of finding an empty space where their car used to be, has been awarded in a survey by the insurance company, Eagle Star.

London, which when mentioned in any telephone insurance quotation still receives an almost instant "Oh, that will put up your premium, sir", is apparently far from top of the theft league.

Residents of Birmingham, Newcastle upon Tyne, Manchester and Glasgow all have a higher chance of having their car driven off without consent, than do the residents of the capital city.

According to the Eagle Star survey, the first to rank cities by theft and car ...

I suspect it all depends what source you use. The top 10 worst places for crime that I saw didn't include Birmingham either. Hull, Sheffield and Doncaster were in there but not Birmingham or Leeds.

Statistics eh? Who needs 'em? All I know is that I'm VERY careful where I leave my GTi whether that's in Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham or wherever!!!!

I have a friend who lives in Yorkshire.  Her husband likes to attend services at Bradford Cathedral.  He also likes his Merc.  The congregation (well, the ones with nice cars) have a rota system so that every few weeks when your turn comes, you don't go to church, you spend the morning patrolling the streets watching the cars.
