I own a property in that exact area, so it's a bit worrying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellbelle Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 It's an absolute disgrace that these morons are walking around the streets causing such devastation! I do sympathise with the people who have had their vehicle torched and hope they are covered with their car insurers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day I took my car for a run and heard a nasty knocking from the front end. I pulled over to find one of the front wheels held on by one wheel nut and nuts missing from the other wheels around the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the site guys at work had that done to him twice, we've since had anti-tamper devices fitted to all the vans.Luckily, like you, he realised before he got very far.

mad-dad Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) Me and my mates used to collect car badges back in the early 60's but we never touched a parked car. Mostly I think because we'd have been crucified if caught. Instead we took the health and safety (a novelty back then) route and clambered over piles of scrapped cars in the local scrappy. Advice from the yard owner? "Scratch yer bloody knees an' I'll tell 'em yer were trespassin'." Incidentally, I do sympathise with the OP. I'd be absolutely gutted if it happened to me Edited October 8, 2016 by mad-dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest makapaka Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Someone's tried to get rear badge off mine over last day or two. All scratches round edge of badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellbelle Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 First car I bought was a ford escort popular plus £575.00 navy blue black vinyl roof. Passed my test first time. Missing badge on front, exactly the same badge but on a car parked near me but didn't have the guts to take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
