Its a shame what's happened to him but its hardly surprising it happened at stab city, or that the car ended up in Handsworth.

He's actually the motoring journalist for my local paper, although all he seems to do is copy out whatever manufacturers have asked him to say.

Harris.

Very sad to think all these nice cars being stolen just because people cant be arsed to work and buy there own !!!

AGAR-COSWORTH

That list is pretty shocking! Worse still is that most of them will have been stolen by hi-jacking or other personal attacks, since its far easier these days to steal the keys than get round an immobiliser - scarey stuff....

Bastards out there taking peoples pride and joy, you should watch out with your cars not just evo's but even your cossies and erst and frst etc.

thing is we shouldnt really be surprised with the way the economy is and the state of crime in this country.

Its pretty simple logic that in hard times people need money, will buy stuff cheap on the side, not to mention the money a thief gets from his fence drops too so he needs to nick more etc etc etc etc.

I wonder how long until we have "routine" killings to steal cars?? cant be far off the way things going.
