pretty bad.

With the prices of car parts these days, I wonder how long before it becomes nationwide to find your car on bricks stripped of parts. Used to just be a scouser thing

I thought it was an old fashioned stereotype but went to hire a car in liverpool after docking there in a ship and the yard had 2 stripped shells. The receptionist explained they were hired with stolen ID then stripped Aparently its quite common hence loads of checks to hire a car there.

1500 quid for a prop? That's why it's been pinched for.

Have faith, the seeing as the police have solved all other crime and spend so much time targeting legal motorists, there should be plenty of them available to tackle these real crimes when they are reported.

We have been looking through our CCTV but haven't came across anything yet.
I hope I fell on his face when he took it off

What bastards! Cant ever see anything being done about it though. Starting to think the only way to defend your own property/belongings is to take the law into your own hands.

We used to always get pikeys break in to our yard and nick diesel out of the lorries. We had a new more secure fence put up, better CCTV but they kept coming back. In the end the lorries were filled in the morning with enough fuel to complete their run and were left almost empty at night, the tank caps were also left unlocked as the fuckers were breaking them off all the time which was costing a fortune too!
