Default Nearly Lost My Car Last night, Theiving Sc*m!!

Woke up this morning, drivers door open on car, looked in car and the steering surround is smashed, the alarm wires have been cut so alarm was going off but no noise.

They tried to break the steering lock so they could move the car onto the tow truck they had waiting!! (my neighbor saw, but didn't call police, as he didn't know who's car it was, said he saw them smashing the steering lock!!)

Waiting for police now!! 3rd time it been broken into!!

So your neighbour saw people breaking into a car in his street, and did nothing? Wow.

That's a pretty piss poor excuse for not calling the police! If I saw someone breaking into a car and smashing the steering column, with a tow truck waiting no less, I'd

a: be straight onthe blower to the old bill or

b: if it was someone I know's car, probably go out there with a bat and confront the fookers.

had a disc lock (was my ex's) but when split with ex gave it back to him

I can see my neighbors point of not wanting to get ionvolved, plus he didn't know it was my car but the smashing the steering lock would have given me an idea that it wasn't their car!

Thats still no excuse for your neighbour not to call the police or even you!

He condones criminal damage does he! People smashing cars up, regardless of who's it is, or if he knows them or not should be reported or dealt with immediately!

Sorry to hear about this!

exactly would rather have police show up and it was me trying to move my car when lost keys and it broke down or smomething, than have it nicked by some tw*ts

Glad I have my car but they caused a fair bit of damage

need 2 new doors, steering column, new steering wheel, new alarm (thank god my new one arrived this morning), new bonnet catch

feel like wiring the car up to the mains electric

Sorry to hear somones been at ya motor, maybe a spell of keeping it somewhere else, friends or family property/garage will make these people think you parted with the car, from what you have described sounds like the same crew are trying to steal it,

Poor you hun. Your stomach must have been in your mouth.

Hope you find what you need soon.

Think I may have screwed at my neighbour if they hadn't done anything. When mine got broken into my neighbour woke me up at 5:30 am banging on my door until I woke up

I dont know what has shocked me more...

The stupidity of your neighbour or the fact the police have turned up already !!!


Tell the neighbour if he has a heart attack and collapses in the street you wont call an ambulance as you'll think he's just having a lie down.....

What a 'hand pump' !!

they did the passenger door a few weeks ago I hadn't found one to replace it

then they decided to do the drivers door, instead of walking around the other side of the car and bending the already some what bent door they bend the one that I changed in July!!

Anything to do with the ex? Just a thought not accusing.

Set some CCTV up on your car it's not expensive to do now. If you have a camcorder and a VCR you can do it off the mains and just use a 4hr tape and set it to long play. Give you 8 hours of cover just need to remember to set the recorder each night. Have you got PIR security lights? If not get some they are only Ł10 from Argos and are a doddle to fit and set up.

Did you get my PM?
