Need somewhere to rant.

my old man had his fuel lines cut on two cars Saturday night and one brake line!! the little thieving gits were trying to nick the petrol but got confused!

Tuesday night they actually nicked his bl00dy car, c reg cav estate (4th car in two years!), they also popped the locks on the car he bought to replace it the night before.

The joke seems to be that all these cars are pretty much worthless as they cost between £100 and £600!

Does anyone have any sensible tips other than waiting for the *@$%* with a bat or shotgun?

[small]Note: all have been reported to the police but they cant do much, including the countless times that a window has been put out or door levered open. They are all parked on private land next to his house rather than on the road. [/small]

How about improved lighting? Increase the ambient light level so that there are no dark corners to lurk in and also add a couple of very bright (500Watt) spotlights with movement detectors.

Not a bad option, the area is already covered by street lighting, but 500Watt spot lights would make a difference. only concern is that the little shites would put them out with stone within a week (could always put mesh in front though)

all joking aside I can see what drove him to do it, if I got my hands on them I'd want to kick the living shit out of them (or shot them), but I wouldn't as the repercussions would get serious all to quickly. Little ers have already tried setting fire to his fences!

Maybe put an immobiliser on the car, or remove the dizzy cap when not in use?

Alternatively wire a electric shock into the seat...lol

Just thinking hypothetically...

Starter motor under seat de-activated by hidden switch - set switch to "on" when leaving car.

Affix large nail tangentially to starter motor shaft pointing in direction of rotation

Scrote gets in - turns starter. Starter engages and drives nail up through seat cushion into scrote's scrote.

Rectum? Not quite but did him a lot of damage...

Only thing I can think of is to set up a camera somewhere discrete to gather the evidence that the police need to prosocute. Could also try asking them what they would need in the way of evidence before they do anything, surely by now there must have been a load of finger prints to record?

Wouldnt it be fun if the those cut fuel lines went inside the car instead & when the ignition was turned on you had some dodgy electrical problem that caused the doors to lock & the lots of sparks everywhere.

I'm sure no-one would mind

Blimey, I had to agres to the rules page just to post on this.


Im sure if these scrotes were to be found with concrete weights on their feet at the bottom of the lake/river, the authorities would do something about it, or perhaps I have just finished watching some qinten tarentino film (spl).

Seriously, hope you get this resloved soon, or they choke on a Kebab one night...

Large capacitor, fully charged and wired to body work. Sit back and wait and listen for the screams

Disclaimer - Could get in serious trouble if tried but would be highly amusing

Yeah, then they get community service and a tiny fine as they are from a "poor background" poor kids

Best to just do something to them in return, paint bomb the inside of a cheap car you don't want. Let them get in them cover them in permanent bright yellow or matte black.

Honestly, thats better than any punishment as they'll look tts for the next 5 years, if not the rest of their life

This would be a novel one; the bib arrest scrotes then the beak sentences them to five years hard labour.

There's always one who has to stray into the downright ridiculous
