Thieving scrotes and feeling nervous
Discussion
On Saturday night 3 garages in my road were broken into, along with 3 cars. In the adjacent roads, another 3 properties (at the last police count) were broken into. I dont know how many other cars were targeted. My van was broken into and little stolen, but they ripped all the manuals in the glove box and scattered them around the ground outside. Found them in some bushes Sunday morning.
If the diff casing on my TVR hadnt broken whilst David Batty was finishing some work last week then the borrowed van wouldnt have been there - my TVR would have been instead. What could have happened has made me very paranoid now for when I get my TVR back this week. Yes its alarmed and immobilised and all the rest of it, but it has really made me feel rather "on edge".
Thinking about moving out of town to a house with garage. But then that means an hour journey each way to work.
Grrrrrrrrrrr. Not going to sleep easy when my baby returns.
BTW - Rhodri - have sent you a mail. Hope your house/car was untouched. I heard of at least one in your road being "done".
Edited to say - some comedy value in this - the only thing stolen from the van was a Dirty Dancing cassette. WTF
now that is just sick!

Shnozz,
Sorry to hear about that, it's such a pain when the place live leaves you worrying about your cars, pride and joy or not.
Lived in the outskirts of Wimbledon previously, and the area caused me to worry every night, and each morning when I went to the parking area I was scared of what I'd find, especially after two burnt out cars appearsed there one morning.
Low and behold, got there one morning and glass was around my car (not the TVR), and a complete mess around the lock where they'd failed to break in. Nicked a maglite and a brand new boxed CD changer I'd left in the boot for fitting, duh!
Even more worrying is why you had a dirty dancing tape in the van!

Can totally understand your phrase "on edge", and I've only seen the dust caps disappear when parked up in a reasonably "nice" neighbourhood. It's just unsettling.
But like all crimes, the victims shouldn't end up being threatened by these scum. You've got support from the good chaps and chappesses of the PH community!

its an ex-girlfriends tape that had been left in the van from the last time i borrowed it!
have told the police that I will be knee-capping anyone in the local sum bag area if I hear them singing "I've had the time of my life".
just spoken with several other people in the area. it was targeted thursday too with another 3 burglaries in a road round the corner. They couldnt give a sh*t bout getting caught and they are just doing the area within a short time span.
but then who would care if they get caught - its not like you do porridge for burglary. they save that for when i have some fun with the missus in the middle of the woods.
it is a neighbourhood watch area and all very poncy modern exec style houses. Unfortunately, the area is surrounded by several scummy areas and I can only assume the f
kers come from there.
baseball bat style approach i guess is the only way. but i think by the time i got there i would either be watching my car driving down the road and trashed or left with enough damage to make my bank manager cry. Having said that, my bedroom window sits overlooking the parking area and I fancy reliving The Day of the Jackal. I know I would be the one that would end up on the dock though if I shot the little chimps.
With the great justice system I guess I should go out and meet with the sh*ts and sign over my V5 so as I do not aggrevate them in any way.

Shnooz sad to hear about the local crime wave. Are there any pikey camps in the area at the moment, these can normally associated with crime waves such as this (usual disclaimers apply here).
Problem with them is the police seem to do very little with them, almost as if they are too frightened to deal with them. Then again wouldn't you as they do seem to hold personal grundges for years
.
The car seems to spent the whole of Jan at DB's hope the damage is not too great on the pocket, let me know what it was, as mines in later in the month for a service and MOT.

was thinking along these lines. Only prob is, I havent got a garage so would have to spend the night hiding somewhere cold (could have had a heater in the garage and some tinnies)
Was thinking that I could black out the rear windows on the van and sleep in the back of it one night with a 6 iron to hand.
As I said though, I am concious of the law banging me up for touching the scrotes. Whilst the self defence argument could be used, I am not too sure it would stand up - yes officer I was asleep in the van with a golf club as I am a bit kinky like that.......
Typical shite government and justice system, I am weary of the consequences of protecting my own property.

Couple of people I know leave their cars unlocked, but alarmed and immobilised, theory being that they can get in anyway by slashing the roof. Not sure what I think about this, not something I've tried, (mainly as my alarm links to the central locking anyway)..
Know how you feel; live in a similar area. Was described as an island of tranquility by the estate agents. Forgot about the sea of scrotes surrounding it..

seriously - she used to put it on if it looked like i would prematurely ejaculate. Patrick's singing would prolong matters.
