Bonzo77 Â Â 13 #1 Posted March 27, 2017 Forgive me if I'm wrong, but why do impounded vehicles all seem to be crushed when you watch these police programmes on TV? Shurley some kind of central, public funded garage where impounded vehicles are tested and sold back to the public would be a better idea?

apelike   10 #3 Posted March 27, 2017 Forgive me if I'm wrong, but why do impounded vehicles all seem to be crushed when you watch these police programmes on TV.  Because that what they want most people to believe as it scares them and it make good cheap TV viewing.  ---------- Post added 27-03-2017 at 21:49 ----------  They flog them. perhaps they crush dangerous ones. John Pye sell some, they even have auctions in Sheffield.  http://www.johnpye.co.uk/vehicles/  They mainly crush the ones with low value or with failed mots or damage.

carboy42 Â Â 10 #5 Posted March 28, 2017 When I lived in Florida you would often see high end cars that were seized by the police badged up as police vehicles and on the doors it would say donated by a criminal.

metalman   21 #7 Posted March 28, 2017 Why is it that pretty much every car sold by John Pye auctions in Sheffield doesn't have any keys, whereas the ones sold at their other sites do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
