Anyone had any wheeltrims nicked?

[FiF]

Avoiding all the clichés that all PH are far too rich to have wheel trims and only use diamond cut alloys polished using the rarest of elements a serial scrote went down the steps to a date with Bubba in the showers recently.

Executive summary to try and prepare people for the piss boiling.

Serial offender nicking wheel trims and flogging them on fleabay to make a living.
98 court appearances.
Over 300 admitted offences.
Last nicking was just 36 hours after a court appearance where he got, wait for it, a community sentence, that wouldn't be served like all the others.
30 months. Finally.
Take him down.

Seriously does anybody believe prison is really like this?

Keep avoiding those cliches.

[Monkeylegend]

No, I haven't. Had a couple fall off whilst driving.

[FiF]

Couldn't resist leaving one cliché in there so some twerp could still have moan and not add anything of consequence.

it's a tricky question.
The US has the three strikes rule.
It gets a lot of criminal off the street but their prison population is huge.
And, it doesn't actually seem to work as a deterrent.
As soon as one criminal is locked up another one pops up to take their place.

I like the bit about "wanting to bring his offending to a halt"

30 months should help him out with that.

If there is a ready supply of illegal drugs, I reckon there is probably a way to nick wheel trims in a British jail.

What's the betting that exactly the same mitigation had been spouted 36 hours earlier in front of the Welsh court. I had trouble spelling 'mitigation', for some reason my spell checker wanted to keep changing it to 'bks.'

Would work better if it was three strikes and you're out of oxygen

Pretty much sums up the entire thread.

[firemunki]

Yeah some delightful soul has 2 of the centre trims for my ST150, why they didn't take 4 baffles me!

[NH1]

To be fair he has travelled a fair way, must all have alloys in Liverpool these days.

I liked the quote "Stuart Jones, who had never done a day's work in his life... "

It sounds like his dad wrote the news report.

I know a guy makes a fortune selling wheel trims on ebay

he even fills in a self assessment for the nice people at HMRC.

He gets them for a £1 each from the local breakers by the hundred.

For example Audi trims are about £100 a set from a dealer so he can get them for £5 and sell them for about £50.

It's not even his main job.

I wonder how many people bought their own wheel trims back, and thought they'd done well getting replacements cheap?

Ha! Exactly what I was thinking

[mybrainhurts]

Who the hell buys dodgy wheel trims in the pub...?

[shep1001]

Hardly worth the effort for £3000, you can't live long on that. Years ago proper OEM wheel trims were stupidly expensive now even the main stealers knock them out at near sensible prices
