this is the problem, the Police know that it is probably long gone and even if they think they know who it is the pikeys just disappear...many Police will not even enter their "trailer parks" due to risk.
I went to collect something I had bought recently and ended up on a Caravan site, the people I bought from were lovely but when I drove in everyone came pouring out of their caravans and static homes to "greet" me.

Problem is pikeys ride round all day looking for shit to steel. If it’s been on a drive for a while and people are out during the day they will have seen it and been watching it and planning it. The cunts don’t care there so blatant they get away with it. They walked into my work once and asked to take the scrap battery’s we said no as we weigh them in are self’s. Hour or so later when no one was about they where caught loading them into there van. When a few of us went out there to tell them to fuck off and get the battery’s back they just un loaded them laughing not a care in the world

What help/feedback has he got from the Police? If it is'nt recovered I hope he had it insured with a proper agreed value? It pisses me off big time that some scumbags think they have the right to steal his pride and joy to make a quick quid!!! I have had my 2wd Saff for 24 years and I know how I would feel if it got stolen.
apparently this bloke is out on licence at the moment from prison, on a curfew and during the week was spotted out in a pub when he shouldn’t have been, police turned up to arrest him which so I’m told took six police offices that had tables and chairs thrown at them had to resort to using strap restraints and a taser to get the bloke in the back of a police van. Apparently the bloke is back out on the street and one has to ask the question why the fuck isn’t he locked back up??? My understanding of being out on licence is if you fart in the wrong place you’ll be straight back inside.
makes me laugh if I didn’t tax, mot or insure my vehicles I’d be nicked and have the vehicles taken off me in no time yet these scrotes seem to get away with it endlessly, how they dragged the cossie on the back of a transit that is sorned and not road legal in broad daylight and drove it to wherever it has been taken to with no one batting an eye lid is beyond me, not that I would consider doing anything illegal these days (I was a bit of a hoodlum as a young kid/man) as a lot of us were but if I did anything illegal these days I’d be nicked pretty sharpish I reckon.
as said above in the thread Jim the owner is a lovely genuine guy without a bad bone in his body and did not deserve this, he would help out any fellow enthusiasts and myself and other people I know have been out with him on many a road trip and excursions in the cars, I hope there is a positive outcome to this dog shit event for him

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
I just can’t get my head round the sentencing these low life get!
If I walked into a bank etc and nicked Ł20 + grand from which are large corporate companies who let’s face it can afford the loss I would be put away for a long time, but if I nicked a Car that’s worth Ł20 + grand from a hard working man who has probably scrimped and scraped most of his life to be able to own a car like that and who probably can’t afford the loss,
all I would get is in basic terms is a slap on the wrist. (MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL)

The government just loves shafting those at every opportunity. People who don;t give a fuck....the government doesn't care about them either.....well that isn't true entirely. They care enough to throw money at them, which was taken from the hard working !
We need more than a revolution !

charlie luciano. Any updates ? From what you have said the Police arrested the guy that was responsible for getting the car nicked but have'nt charged him and now he is back out on the street. Sounds like one big fuck up by the Police to me!!!!

No updates Jim, police are following a number of leads but their hands are tied by lack of hard evidence. The pikeys know this so are just sitting back laughing at them. They may be total scumbags but they ain't daft. They know if they tuck it away and wait for the fuss to die down then they can spirit in away never to be seen again. Let's hope they get complacent and drop themselves in it, then we might be rid of these parasites for a while.

Terrible thing to happen and to hear about, as ever always the hard working decent person who looses out to some of the world's lowlifes. Hopefully the police doing all they can to get the car back, but I doubt it!

Sad thing is if it wasn’t are love for the cars and prices we are prepared to pay for them and there parts they wouldn’t be valuable to these scum as a way of making fast money.
I’d be absolutely gutted if mine went missing as I too have had mine for a very very long time now. Really is up setting and the sort of thing that puts you off being into and owning these cars really.

You can be sure they wont be getting top money for the parts of it they sell.
And any breakers yards, salvage or whatever, there should be a minimum 30 day quarantine period on any vehicle related items that come to them. Them, as a legitimate business cannot use the excuse of ignorance for handling or even destroying stolen goods, especially given the potential values involved...although any perceived monetary values is irrelevant. Stolen is stolen.
A Pawn shop or any other legit business couldnt just buy anything off someone and destroy or sell it on without any liabilities, so the same should apply to those disposing of car stuff. if anything it should be even more strict !

You expect all of that lol but in the real world money talks and people will pay a little less to get these parts and that’s still good money as it had some nice bits on it. They will steal anything but things that are desirable and sell easy are still top of the list and they hunt for which all shows if there going to car shows to see what’s about

I just don't get it, conflicting reports on what has happened. Why are the Police not able to do more? Has the shit heap Transit been traced? What happened to the ex jailbird who got arrested and then released? It does'nt give you much confidence in the Police! The poor owner must be gutted as I guess his Insurance won't give him any pay-out as the car could hopefully still get found before its stripped?
I also suspect there's a lot of misinformation being fed to the police which pulls them in many different directions, the wider pikey community coming together to report conflicting sightings all over the place. All those leads need to be followed up on which takes time, and that's just what the arseholes want, as it gives them time to break it down and get rid of the easily identifiable bits.

That sounds daft, you would think a known car thief, seen near a stolen car was evidence enough under "joint enterprise" to warrant a questioning.
And You would hope a known car thief is under regular surveillance just waiting to catch him...why not go after the low hanging fruit?

Yes you would think that, but in reality they didnt want to know, just interested in giving me a crime number for the insurance. Anything else would entail actual police work and for a stolen car they just cant be bothered.

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Investigative departments into vehicle thefts across all police forces are at an all time low due to severe cutbacks. I'm lead to believe for instance that there is only one person dedicated to investigate vehicle theft for Police Scotland who is meant to cover the whole of Scotland! When he retires his job might disappear altogether.
I hear time & time again that police rarely attend after a vehicle is stolen or issue a crime reference number & close the case the same day!
So far this month there have been at least 7 classic Fords stolen & SIXTEEN stolen since 8th September, only 3 of which have been recovered!

Its rare that I hear of police going after the real criminals, only ever hear people getting caught for motorist offences which is a shame as the country needs the bigger crimes dealing with. They need more bobbies on the beat and more power when they do catch people rather than people getting let off because they have a decent lawyer or technicalities.

It's up to them to prove you didn't use reasonable force, as long as you can justify your actions and don't use excessive force, you need to justify that your actions are necessary, reasonable and proportionate
Section 3(1) of the Criminal Law Act 1967 states that any person may use such force as is reasonable in the circumstances in preventing a crime or in effecting or assisting in the lawful arrest of offenders or suspected offenders or of persons unlawfully at large
I won't go into the ins and outs but it's worth interested parties to do a bit of googling and arm yourself with the law to protect yourself, family and your property, I had to learn this in my job to protect myself when dealing with violent people
