lofty Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 My step brother has a small garage . They broke into his pound and cut off six customers cats. Easily done and easy scrap money. B+stards Quote
Paul D Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 8-30 in the evening as well, you would have thought they would have chosen a time later in the day - unbelievable !! Quote
Jim Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 Alas, It seems times are hard and there's no jobs out there so they have to steal to put food on the table. Perhaps a nice little swim with some dolphins will show them the error of their ways. Sorry for you Tomo. Jim Quote

Rob Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 The problem here is the market for stolen goods. If the scrap dealers didnt buy all this "i found it", "it was in my garden when i moved in" metal - inc road signs etc. There would be no local market - then it would probably get shipped to the continent and sold there! Might be just the excuse to let some air out the Wife's tyres! Quote
pirky Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 Finger guillotine fitted to everything .... It's the only way !!! Did the cctv give an id for the police or were they hooded arse wipes !!! Dave Quote
Wedger Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 Tomo, Sorry to read this chap but thanks for the heads up. Can you get the cctv footage on youtube and facebook? Somrone might finger the little tw@s. Quote

I thought they were tightening the law on scrap yards taking stuff (they know it's knocked off!!). A mate of mine had his taken from his VW van last week too, so its not just 4x4's. Quote
Tomo Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Try one of these http://catalyticconvertertheft.com/ Mikey B Thanks Mikey, But the police told me they were a waste of money as it only puts about a further 2 mins. on the time it takes the arsewipes to get them off...that means possibly 5 mins in total...... [if they steel 10 a night it would mean they would have to work for between 30 to 50 mins a night for about Edited September 17, 2012 by Tomo Quote
