Sounds like a typical pikey break in, and the police are not interested becuse their shit scared of the didds, if someone reported you walking around with a shotgun under your arm you would have had a swarm of armed police there.

Toney Martin had the best idea when he had two break into his house, he shot the bastards only trouble is he missed one

I've come to the conclusion after today it was some one who knows us!!!!

Why? after taking the efort to depart me and Sam of all of our tools etc they kindly also tuck the time in removing the front jacking point covers from my track car!

You may think thats a bit of a jump for me to go to but I don't, some one who owns a mk6 RS/GTi? has robbed me.

All they can hope is I never find out who it is as I promise I'll fuckin hurt um.

Gutted all over again now I have realised this, fuming!!!!

Cars been moved today, so if your reading, f*** you!

It has mate, I thought I had taken this whole thing quite well and tbh didnt know why I was taking it so well

but now realise its because nothing that was taken was emotionaly attached to me and I know its only two jacking point covers but they were attached to the car and boils down to me that some one we know has done this!

if it is someone you know, that makes the situation a whole lot worse. you expect it from cunts you dont know, but if its someone you do, there even bigger cunts.

Just a thought,but do you think they were jacking it to steal the alloys perhaps?I know folk might say that they'd just use the trolley jack you mentioned but if they saw the car first then thought about stealing the alloys they may have thought that the only jack would be a standard one.

Still cunts whoever they are and my offer still stands if you want the old spraying stuff.

Can't promise it before Xmas but I'll try for asap!!!

Apreciate the offer mate, know mad rush either bud as need to find new lock up.

I know what ya saying about the covers etc but theyve taken them mate, not just removed um and tbh theyre was nine 18" OZ five spoke mags stacked by the door they could of taken easier than removing for alloys from my car.

No worries dude.I had the front end stolen off my fiesta mk5 diesel a couple of months back.

Fair point on the alloys,start thinking closer to home then IMO.Try your free ads,I found someone who nicked my mates car before through this and needless to say we got the parts back.

In the guys defence he'd bought them genuinely with a recipt to convert his own 1.3 to rst spec but it had been stolen,probably by the cunts who he bought the parts off.he was proper gutted as this was 1997 and 1.3 bonus' were about Ł2500 then.

He hasn't insured it either as it was only being kept on the drive until he saved up,bummer!!

A lot of theives used to use the freeads to lure people.I nearly got caught before.

I phoned up some Cardiff scumbag who was advertising a 90' spec rst for breaking,shell was rusty.this was 98 when they were still pretty rare to find broken up.

I wanted a metering head and some other parts.he arranges to meet me in a service station.doesn't turn up.
I phoned him and he says meet in mc donalds,he's running late about 5 miles away.
Drive there,no show.as I'm waiting some slag pulls up in a fiesta si(wow,oldskool!!!) and is looking around the carpark,odd.

I wait an hour constantly ringing (via the phonebox!!!) when I can,no response.

So I think,did he mean this other mc d's?

Drive around this fucking shithole estate and clock the fiesta si,few dodgy looking cars on the drive like a b reg astra 16valve,million chavs out front and me alone.

Decide it's a red herring and fuck off.remember there's some good scrappies round there and call over looking for an rst.no joy,but start chatting to the owner and he tells me all about the scam.
Bluebird cunt was advertising rare/valuable items in the free ads,waiting in a different car in the carpark .once you inevitably got pissed off and went home,this cunt would follow you to your house and nick the car!!!

The cunt regularly received phonecalls in the middle of the night,odd that!!!

Ok,the fiesta was left in a locked yard but whoever took it only removed the bumper,gril,headlights and wing mirrors,cheeky cunts!!

If you'd front ended one you'd need the bonnet too so they were stolen to order as far as I'm concerned.

Pretty sure I know who's done it.their going to have a terrible 2011

You've got to be very careful mate what you put up on the 'net and bear in mind, anyone can see it.
Don't put your personal details on a plate, personally location identifying features in photo's etc.
As you say, it can turn you paranoid, but it could make the difference. Even to a point you gotta be careful who you tell what, it could orignate from some scrote overhearing you chatting, or someone you know telling someone they know etc it only takes the wrong type of person to find out.
BY NO MEANS am i / would i suggest or imply, that anybody using this or any other car forum is anything other than a decent, genuine enthusiast, please no one take this the wrong way, you just gotta be careful!

Cheers Muz, it's a worry enit...

Just read this on another forum -

The premium is paid in full, so no monthly installments are available, but the premium is alot less than your yearly car tax would be.
The best thing about the policy is, not only is your vehicle covered, but all parts and tools that are being used on that vehicle for the restoration or time off road (receipts of parts and tools are needed if something ever did happen).
Maybe worth giving them a call as they may class the mk5/6 rs escort as a classic now or as a future classic.
It just comforts the blow if something ever did happen, and i know i can sleep at night not worrying about my vehicles.

West midlands police are without a doubt the most incompetent force in the UK, all i hear is negatives from them and i have personal experience of just how useless they are.

Dont sell your car over it, it really isnt worth letting it ruin what obviously has taken a lot of your time and effort up.

Don't give up on it bud,the cunts have won then.it's frustrating I know but shit happens,there's a guy over on retrorides that had 20 mk1 Granadas stolen a few years back,that's not a misprint either!!!he's just had another 3 stolen one of which he believes is the earliest mk1 Granada on record,ouch!!!

I'm a firm believer in what comes around goes around,you'll find who it is one day I'm sure.

Years ago my mate knew 2 brothers who were thieving scum and he used to regularly buy bits off them to sell on thinking they were his "mates".

He went up their house one day and I was in tow.I offered to stay in the car but his mate said to come in.reluctantantly I did as my mate said it was ok.we were in there about an hour and came out to find his radio and speakers stolen.he went back in and the boys were on the phone screaming at people,tbh I thought even though he was my mate it was karma and it served him right.

Anyway,a few weeks later 3 of us got done over for our kenwood 7x10's,the speaker of the time all on the same night,I was gutted,I'd saved for months to get them and the amp on the shelf was taken too,cunts!!!

Years later I was out and about in the car and got talking to some boys who knew these two brothers.they started relaying the story of how they'd robbed the speakers out of my mates Renault when we were in his bedroom.it jogged my memory that one of the brothers had left the bedroom for 10 minutes when his mother had called him.turned out this was a common trick of theirs and they'd put the stuff under the stairs until the people left.

The people they were screaming at down the phone would be alerted that they had stuff to sell and call up,bit like a code really.Apparently they even went to the lengths of going with the people in the car to "look" for the boys who stole them,cunts!!

Still,karma played it's part and one of them,the "brains" of the outfit is at HMP doing 17 years for armed robbery!!!!oh dear!!!

Cheers lads, I do hope the truth will come out one day.

My plan was to just leave it for the winter and forget about it but now on the hunt for another lock up, maybe have some news tomorrow as heard of a great place today that was empty with roller shutter doors and an upstairs.

Also waiting on call back from another that has a pit so fingers crossed.

I would be looking at the "visitors" you had at the previous lock-up. Its easy to be your best friend to your face when they want something.

You could be right, but this incident involves West Mercia Police. Hope the OP gets things sorted.

Still can't believe they took a day to come out to a firearm, any update as to what type of firearm it was?

I haven't heard a peep, had a few voice mails from police asking for my D.O.B and stating without it they couldnt go ahead with any more work on case?

I phoned back 3 times to give it and no answer or machine to leave message and just lost faith in all of it and them.

i wouldnt have told the cops about the firearm would have kept it for self defence

good job your getting a good secure building. Might be worth asking now about stuff like wiring for cameras alarms if he isnt fitting it so you can get it done cheaper during the build.

also remember the scum will be aware of it going up (they always are) so have a good look round for any new weakness to ensure you are well beefed up compared to before.
