Default Just Found My Car On Bricks

Before anyone says it, yes i should have locking nuts, there pennys, and ive got no sympathy for myself, its my own fault. neighbour started banging on my door about an hour ago, said there was someone trying to nick your car, ive just chased them off. so i go running out, a blue focus c-max goes flying up the road, same focus c-max that drove past earlier very slowly when i was outside having a fag, so i know the car and the first two letters of the reg, and its an 08 plate. they have only managed to get one wheel away, they were on the second when the got rumbled by my neighbour, so im one arrow and seven wheel nuts down. was gona put three standard alloys back on, but i cant find my wheel brace, so ne doubt the other three will be gone in the morning

Fuckers.... This really makes me mad. It just seems that you can't have anything nice without someone wanting to take it from you. But what you do have you really need to take steps to protect it.

Ive had ne luck with cars this year, in january someone slashed the tyres on my mondy after id just put new tyres on all round, so ended up buying eight 18" tyres in a month, then some cunt walked on the mondy bonnet, foot prints and scratches all over it, now this.

As far as staying up, im sat looking out the window now, bouncing, cant see me getting to sleep tbh. im ne hard man,so im not going to say im gona do this and im gonna do that, but i swear to god, the cunt comes back tonight, and i will not be held responsible for my actions. stuff like boils my piss when its someone elses car.

Leave the car as is.

Call up some baseball loving mates and park across the street in a van overnight. Those guys WILL come around again. They always do.

The thought of that happening scares me, as quite often it's not just a case of them getting the wheels it's the state they are leaving the car in.

Arrows aren't even worth that much are they?

I dont know mate, they havnt made arrows for years, and you dont see many about these days, but tbh, i doubt they have took them because of what they are, they just seen a chance to make a few quid. im pleased its on bricks, if they had dropped it on the floor, id probs need new discs or more, all ive got to do is get a set of wheel nuts and locking nuts lol, and ill put they standard alloys back on, job jobbed.

wouldnt mind, i only bought it as a cheap hack to get me through winter, i wasnt even going to do out with it, just run into the ground, but i got offered the arrows dirt cheap off glenny boy on here, so i thought why not.

Fair enough, suppose they are worth money but I wouldn't have thought they're worth the risk of jailtime for!

As you say at least they've been half kind and left it on bricks

Dont think there to bothered mate, i would have assumed it was some smack heed, they will take out for there next fix, but the fact he/they were in an 08 plate c-max has me a bit baffled, if you can afford a nearly new car, whats a couple of hundred quids worth of alloys worth the risk for ?

Fantastic idea, risk a lengthy jail sentence for a set of wheels?

Give them some credit, they were just taking shit wheels off... For all you know it could have been the local SCOPE. Thinking you were a charity case they may of just been about to put some OZ Wheels on.

i paid 300 for my Momo Arrows off ebay 5 years ago and been searching for 1 on it's own ever since. They literally are rare as rocking horse shit m8. One plus is they had the courtesy to put it on bricks, however you have learnt a harsh lesson in life with regards to not having locking wheel nuts, and not having the car in a garage.

amateures guys

round our way they used to undo all the wheelnuts first, then simply left the arches up and let the wheels fall off, propping with a brick if neccesary

not like these nice caring considerate theives who leave bricks AND jacks behind, although fingerprints were easier to trace, not that pold did anything about it

bastards!

But it always amazes me that these cunts are happy to steal your wheels but somewhere along the line they feel they shouldn't damage anything else - so they find a few bricks... odd!

surprised they havent nicked brakes on the lambo

it is a bit old hat and a bit "scouser" robbing wheels but guess times are hard. well not for criminals. its not like they can claim they are redundant as mitigation??? guess the price of goods being fenced on should have stayed about same as in hard times people are more prepared to buy dodgy stuff from dodgy dave at the local boozer than before
