My car was recovered 5 days later covered in scratches with rims bent and other body damage and I had to pay 180 quid recovery and IIRC 25 quid a day storage.
When the 2 druggies that were responsible went to court they got a community supervision order INC REHAB each and my car and my Moms surgery robbery were TIC.
I ended up £4k out of pocket and the thieving cocksuckers were out doing the same sort of crimes STRAIGHT from court. This country is fucked up....RANT OVER
You couldn't be more right, I never claimed on my insurance either and the amount I had spent on the RS put me well out of pocket, think I totted up receipts for £3000 for the previous 12 months of ownership.
So when they say crime doesn't pay its actually a bit of a fib isn't it because you can trailor someones car away... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY! strip it, sell it and only on the odd occasion you do get caught you get 2 months in prison... which lets be honest he isnt going to do.
Then there is insurance what a fucking farse, I was with HIC, i phoned the next day after the theft, spoke to about 5 people and then got the grilling of my life and told in not so many words that I was lying the car couldn't have been stolen as it had a category 1 alarm!! what a joke.
In the end I didn't claim as the few grand tops I'd have probably got after they finished diggng some shitter out of the autotrader to compare it against plus the loosing my 3 years no claims it just wasnt worth it.
Shocking country tbh
