cosywolf   10 #1 Posted September 3, 2003 Well, it is for the gits who broke into my car last night.  That 'interesting pill' they had a good look at was paracetamol.  My music taste was clearly not up to scratch, though they had a good look at the Saw Doctors tape ?!  My sunglasses were too scratched to see through, though it would be hard to tell at night.  If they want to use the front of the radio they're going to have to find the back of another Punto one and crack the code  The multitool they nicked cost about £2 and will break when they try to use it on someone elses car  I don't envy them the hassle of going through the massive mess that is the inside of my car in order to try and find anything interesting (because there was nothing interesting, so HA!)  Problem is it sends my premiums up again. Gits. Plus it always makes me laugh that my car spends most of it's life in Norfolk Park and Arbourthorne where despite my fiercest wishes it never gets nicked or even touched. Yet in Meersbrook they just keep going after it.  Thank you. I feel better now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
DaBouncer   13 #2 Posted September 3, 2003 It's a complete kick in the teeth when some little w***** nicks/damages/breaks into your car.  Sorry to hear about this happening to you Cosy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
cosywolf   10 #3 Posted September 3, 2003 Fourth time in four years. I'm used to it now.  Mark reckons I should be a community worker in my own area...he thinks it doesn't get harmed where I work cos I'm known. I'm a little bit more cynical than that, tho.  Still, I had a giggle this morning when an Arbourthorne resident was trying to convince me that she'd heard that Meersbrook was 'right rough' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cycleracer   10 #4 Posted September 3, 2003 Yeah, fully agree its about time they shoved heavy prison sentences on those who are caught. I had my car knicked in 1996 and they burnt it out less than half a mile away in Longley park. The police were 3 weeks before they let me know it had been found were it had been in storege at a scrap yard in Stairfoot,Barnsley and run up a bill for £80 a day. Year prior to that in 1995 I had my Yamaha motorbike knicked and the culprits were caught riding it in Roe Woods, comletely recked of course and police said though they were riding it they could'nt proove they knicked it, hense they got away with it.

cosywolf   10 #5 Posted September 3, 2003 See, naughty as it is I wouldn't have minded them nicking it and burning it out. But they never even try. I want a 'new' car anyway, which is why I'm bothering to get it sorted at all. Otherwise i'd just leave it as is.  Sounds like you've had a few nightmares, Cycleracer. Some kids were out on Arbourthorne this morning playing with a motorbike they'd prob'ly nicked off someone. I had to stop myself going up to them and saying 'see that Punto...it'd make a lovely car bbq...why don't you find out' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
