Stolen car question ???

[pixie83]

I had a car stole from outside my house, the person who stole it crashed in to a police car and wrote it off. He has been sentanced to community service today.

I was around 1k out of pocket for the whole thing with excess and such forth

Does anyone know if I can try to get back my losses against him??

I believe you can put a claim against him, however you may be better posting this in the 'speed, plod and the law' part of the pistonheads forums. You'll get a much wider response.

Says it all really. If you mess with another mans automobile, receive a guilty verdict, 5 mins later - you should be eating your own testicles.

Go beat it out of him and make sure you have an aliby! I would if it happened to my car. Thieving scum!!

In the good old day's if you nicked a man's horse you got hung. Why is this considered so unreasonable today?

I've got 500 horses so I spose you could hang him with a spring

From bitter experience,the sad fact is that if your villain doesn't have any money (job), then I think that you will just be pouring good money after bad. Mine was some years ago, but I don't think things have changed.
Sorry.

I agree with Demolition Man & it should be the case EVERYWHERE on the planet, however, even the Saudi's are 'going soft'....the first time you get nicked for nicking you get one of your hands indelably 'painted' so everyone knows you're a convicted thief. Next conviction, you lose that hand...off at the wrist by sword! Caught again & you lose the other hand. How you gonna nick stuff now, except with your teeth? The other good thing here(!?) is if someone crashes into your car & pi55es off, you can get your car fixed but he can't til he gets a police report, whereby the police visit every garage for a damaged car that matches damage done to yours. You've already got a police report so they connect the two &, hey-presto.....nothing....'cos he's broke & didn't have insurance & has 26 zillion kids to raise with 27 wives, and....oh sod it! is what you end up saying!

Sorry you asked now aren't ya??? lol.

As far as I know GAP insurance is the only way to bridge the gap between market value and what you paid for it.
