Would you buy a part you knew was stolen and is a bargain as a result,or would you go pay a higher price for a cosha part?

Be Honest.

 

Buying a knowingly stolen part is as bad as stealing it youself.


Would I buy it , ?




Dave

 

Cosha parts only for me

 

agreed .....

 

ThomasRC

What you been offered then?

IMO its fucked up, look at it as if someone was selling parts they nicked from me how PISSED i'd feel

 

Cosha.................

 

I feel exactly the same way. If the fucktards didn't buy stolen stuff it wouldn't get stolen in the first place

 

Problem with this pole is quite simple.

No one in their right mind will say yes as it is quite obvious they will get the shit ripped out of them.

I am quite sure that in the past I have probably bought somet that probably wasn't as straight as it should have been BUT without proper evidence the parts are Kosha how do you know?

For example I got a set of wheels off Chad, He got them off a car he broke- How do I or him for that matter know if they were stolen originaly or not?


there are ways of telling of course and if you stick by basic guidlines you can sleep with a quilt free mind.

What is a 'cosha' part?
I know I would only buy kosher parts

 

Incidently they wern't stolen as I know the car they came off but... hopefully my point is made

 

As said, who's gonna admit to knowingly buying stolen parts

I bet a fair few people on here have though. 'If I don't buy it someone else will' etc etc

 

I wouldn't no!

Another valid reason for not doing it other than it's wrong in the first place is that if i'd bought some part that I knew had been robbed and someone found out and I had to give it back, you'd have no comeback on the guy and you'd be fucked twice, part would have to go and you'd lose your money!

Defo buy new mate!

 

yea i bought knowingly stolen parts, about £500 worth a few years ago............................................... ................






then i took back to my mate who had then nicked, then went back to the guys house who sold em to me and introduced him to my mate Mr Wilson...............

 

Fact of life I'm afraid. Alot of people will say whey spend £150 on something when I can get the same thing for £50 if I turn a blind eye ? £100 is still £100 whatever way you look at it.

 

I have had cars stolen and worry lots about the cossie so no I would never buy anything stolen from a private car, as stated just as bad as stealing it yourself

 

Why what have you got??**

























** Joke

 

WHAT????? my old geography teacher!?

 

ive bought loads of stuff before, off ebay and the likes so i guess you can never tell if its nicked or not

but if some c*nt came up to me sayin "ere, mate, i got this see, its worth like £1000! yours for £50"

he would enevetibly get a kick to the balls

 

Right then, i am going to be the one that admits to it

10 years ago (My good time flys ) I knowing bought a stolen Pioneer head deck, amps, subs and speakers........................

Yes i know it is wrong but at the time i was young, had little or no respect for anything and anyone, all i wanted was a good stereo for my car as i had just started driving and i wanted it..

So there you go.........................

10 years on and in this time i have been the subject of theft from both my car (Head deck went.....and it was a new pioneer one ) and my works van where i lost a hell of a lot of tools and that lot came to around 6k worth

Am i bitter about it...................To be perfectly honest it was my own fault and i knew it may happen because.

1, Left the front on the stereo so was asking for trouble.

2, Should of took all the tools off the van at night, but other people in the construction trade will tell you that it isnt a 5 minute job to unload a van at night after work

10 years wiser and i have been offer LOADS of powertools that sell for easy £500- £1000 for anything between £50 to £200..........I WOULD NEVER EVER BUY TOOLS FROM ANYONE UNLESS I KNOW THEM AND I KNOW THEY ARE NOT STOLEN.....Its a trade thing-Unwritten roule

So thats me.................. At least i am honest

 

And I bet a fair few wouldn't like to admit they sell (or used to sell) stolen parts either

 

depends where they have come from tbh.....if somebody offers me some goods off the back of a lorry, from say a big supermarket chain or electrical wholesaler,then yeah...i'll have a bit of that.

but if i know they've come from joe public who has worked hard to earn the money to buy them,then no.

 

lol @ markyd3


no this mr wilson

 

im same as tiff..........only shit loads more handsome and slimmer

have i bought knowingly stolen parts before yes
also like tiff ive also had stuff robbed from my car a few times
ive also been robbed on holiday, everything gone from the "safe", money, camera, passport, driving licence, mobile, tickets home
what ive gained buying nicked stuff cheap ive lost when my stuff got robbed
viscous circle
not totally out of pocket mind as i took the insurance company to the cleaners re the holiday burgulary
i would probably think twice now im a little wiser and older...than tiff on both counts this time

old pic

happy anniversary by the way pal

been just over a year aint it

 

Would never buy, and believe me when I say that's fairly easy to have lots of things for peanuts where I live, but exactly for that reason, from really tender age I saw my parents get nicked and later myself got my car robbed/vandalized a couple of times so the only thing that comes to my mind when someone comes to sell me something I KNOW it's stolen is cut off both his hands so he can't do it again. F*cking bastards...

 

Cheers mate

last Sunday was a year and it has flown by

 

it's not just cars parts though is it,it's anything stolen.

people on here are not going to admit it and thats that.

9/10 people would buy things that are a bargain,even if stolen.

how many of you ask the seller of parts where they are from......not many!

we all know it's wrong but everyone likes bargains.

brand new plasma tv's,40 odd inch,in the box...£400.

hard to say no.

 

Spot on

 

being a scouse i guess youd know lol
"in the box" aint from joe public though is it! sorry but that casts a different view in my mind, and i would guess others too.

 

Agreed.

 

The important bit, or in my eyes anyway

As said sure almost everyone has had summit not quite 100% straight at some point , , even fitted a cd in a car for someone who said it wernt nicked, shame he didnt realise about the 10 discs in the changer tho but fair play he had me uninstall it and went back to the bloke and got a "refund"


Steve

 

i was in the ale house in birkenhead the other week an a chav came in,

these are his exact words "wanna buy a tom tom?" before i could say f@@k off, the owner came in an gave him a right goin over was sooooooo funny.

so no i wouldn't buy robbed gear cos you get no gauntee**

** god i can't spell

 

spot on with you on this

 

So what your saying is aslong as it is stolen from a big company then its ok?

And before anyone starts gobbing off, yes i have and yes i would.

But stealing is stealing either which way you look at it.
And so is buying stolen goods.

 

funny about what tiff and matt have to say. ive never bought or thieved anything stolen and ive never bit bitten by burglary - touch wood!! so is it true what goes around ....................? but then again i am a shit load younger than both you old gits!

 

as above from big firms i probably would but only from someone i know not from a stranger. going on the ebay and such like local ads you never do know but alarm bells would ring if it was stupidly cheap and i would walk away

 

tough one,....
if it was nicked off someone you knew, then you wouldnt buy,....
but how many people REALLY would pass up buy something very dear, for very cheap...


money makes the world go round, ....and getting things cheap makes it go even faster,....THAT is why people become theives,..there will always someone to buy,....

just been looking round, and thinking,...and i have never bought anything stolen,....t least im pretty sure i havent...

 

well il hold my hands up to it, i used to service my car and my m8's with parts from a well known motor factor, another friend just happend to be assistant manager, we would phone through with make and model, pop in with a £10 and walk out with plugs, leads, oil, filters, and any other parts required!

not saying if its right or rong, but if i still had the same contact, i would still take that route for getting parts, but as has been said b4, it is a company not a person, and it is a friend who is doing it,, so i have no doubts as to the source

 

depends. if it was nicked form a wholesaler like currys ect and no one was hurt. yer i would have it. fuckers like them skin people day in day out.

nick from someone who has worked hard and payed full front for it. no way bang out never touch it with a pole.
