Aye mate thats prob my car you saw, this is just a rented house im in just now while i wait for my new one to be finished thats why ive no garage at the minute. I could take the car to the new house and stick it in the garage but the garage doors arent fitted yet so its a bit pointless lol.

I hate no having a garage

Aye, would be pointless in a garage wi no doors!
My mate stays near you, in a new built house, and there was a van stopped outside his one day just after he moved in, they didn't even drive off when they noticed they were being watched from in the house! They were sitting pointing at stuff in the drive and garden!
Cheeky fuckers!

Need their fingers chopping off, that'll stop them thieving! Lol

If I was you mate I'd park it round a mates for a good few days or a week maybe more. They won't strike whilst you are on guard if they are even a bit clever. If it has a decent cat 1, keys in your bedroom and blocked in just leave it as is or remove from premises, park round a mates, fit a disk-lock on it. They won't be able to get it off for shit.

The keys are always kept in the bedroom mate probably stick them under the bed now, Ive got it blocked in by 2 cars and the keys for these cars will be well hidden aswell.

these twats really piss me off

i don't want to cause you any more worry mate but these fucking cunts might take revenge on you for making their lives difficult and take a petty shot at the car and cause soem damage

That's why I suggested moving it away from your house.

Your first mistake was to disturb them from upstairs. I would have observed until theyve touched car leaving prints (and also technically "interfering with a vehicle") then proceeded to engage the targets via sneaking out back door and coming round side to batter fuck out of them while he thinks hes got a clear few minutes to look over it.

I do this with my garage, observe some chav and i go out front door (garage is round back) cut them off on the alley way and menace them if they are doing nothing or charge at them if they trying doors and upto no good. Unless im returning in car, i park round corner then move in with steering lock

Thats the norm these days think about it, generally in our society people whove advanced thier career etc to get a bit of money and posh cars generally dont live in 2 up 2 down shitty terraces so obviously such cars are often going to be on drives so therefore by default the thief has to scope it out and go on the drive.

i know some scallys and they wouldnt give it a second thought, 3am and your kipping off she goes
exactly!! they know the filth cant do jack shit for just looking round it and we all know they arent going to drive by your house unless seriously bored.

oh i forgot to say, dont bother with complicated battery removal etc, just pull the fuel pump and starter relay or similar. Wont effect alarms and will slow them down for a few mins hopefully enough to set off alarm or noise wake you.
