In all honesty would you want to actually try and stop a pair of pikeys where you suspect that they have a stolen Cossie on the back of their van. They would have tools to steal a car and although every bloke in the world thinks he is a champion race driver, demon in bed and can fight like Jean Claude Van Damme you would most likely get a tyre iron wrapped around your head if you actually tried to stop them....so, what do you do?, phone the police to say that a scruffy van has an old car on the back and that looks odd??? Follow it, then do what?

We have had around 8 to 10 smash and grab cash points stolen in the last 12 months, always at night, stolen transit, stolen digger and the Police seem unable to find this organised team. The thieves even do a fake break in first somewhere local to get the Police out there whilst they hit the real target. The shops had bollards and the machines were actually in the walls of the buildings.

It seems crime is all too easy these days and things like trackers, ANPR do nothing.

I deeply hope the owner gets their car back and the thieves get their down fall but I suspect the car is already in bits or on its way to a new identity or another country.
