Had one of our Civic's done today away from home and an attempt on my Accord but they got disturbed otherwise probably would of done my other Civic at home (South Birmingham).

Worried these wkers will be back as I assume we've been targeted.. mad

My elderly Mother called 999 only to be told to call 101 even though the three of them were still onsite. furious

Civic, at lease they didn't damage the loom, £400 to repair with aftermarket parts:



Accord, the blade snapped in the front pipe:

The missus had one taken from her Jazz few weeks back, annoying and makes the blood boil.
I'm an electronic engineer and it's relatively easy to get a 12v to 13kV device wrapped up and set beside the cat - waiting for prying hands. That would finish them off (literally) and is what they deserve. The plod have zero interest in this and will do fk all, I even have given them crystal clear hi Res footage of the jazz theft (in front of a hotel!).
They’d be plenty interested if you electrocuted one I bet
couldn't you argue that you had a fox (other vermin are available) hiding under your car and causing issues - therefore a humane way to get rid of? hehe

out Honda Jazz had the Cat stolen last week. During the day in a car park. Clean cut.

The car has been written off, unlike the RX400h where they just take the secondary cat the Jazz only has 1 with both lambda sensors, and the middle box cut as the Cat flange is too close. Perfectly reasonable run around binned.
Have you looked at aftermarket kits on eBay? Bought this one for my mother in law’s Jazz a few months ago: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2...
