Car crime

#

Started by smurftastic in Chit-Chat

More specifically, when I get my hands on the little morons who broke into my car and gave the interior a paint job, I’ll string them up by the short and curlies!
Not to mention the broken indicator and rear view mirror. Not yet tried to see if the thing will start but the bonnet is raised at one side (near the window) so I guess I can anticipate something not right under the hood.

This is the first car I’ve ever had. Only passed my test 8 weeks ago. I dont even know if I CAN get the indicator stick replaced and how do I get it to a garage anyway if I cant tell people which way I’m going?

And all that’s nothing to the feeling of total despair. 4 hours later and I’m still waiting for ineffective police officer to show up. What the hell drives people to do something so malicious?

I could be wrong but I suspect it’s probably because it’s got no locks, a window taped up, only one wing without a dent in it and a white boot where a full tin of gloss went over. Not really that appealing? ;)

Hmm, my car isn’t in much better condition. Granted, until today it did have working locks.

The cops finally showed up. Considering there’s not a cat in hell’s chance of finding the little <insert expletive of choice>, the cops were actually very helpful and managed to spot a lot of stuff I hadnt - like the missing tax disc and finger prints! They also tried very hard not to make me feel like a complete idiot for not leaving the car exactly as I’d found it (hey I’m a novice at the crime thing!).

It’s one experience I could’ve done without though.

I dunno why they do it, it’s really ridiculous to think that we live in a society ( hey, check me out, I’m on my soap box ) where a man can be arrested and put in court for eating a policeman’s sandwich but where if you get assaulted or something nabbed the police won’t even bother turning up. What a shower of shits!

The people who do this are basically uneducated, they say we should all live in a classless society, we do! My former flatmate had his car nicked last year, in the back was a load of designer gear, shirts, ties etc.. and what had they nicked when the car was reclaimed?

His furry dice. They actually ignored about £800 worth of clothing to take a set of £2.50 furry dice.

Fucking uneducated twats!

Now that brought a smile to my face!

Reminds me of when my brother’s flat got broken into and they didnt touch any of the rare and very valuable books or records, but they did take his kettle and some mugs!

Or the time my mates car got broken into and they took an empty CD box! If they’d have bothered to look in the CD player they’d have found the CD too but no, they just took the box.

Had my car broken into a couple of years ago, when out at a client for work - was embarassing as the client had had a blazing row with one of my staff, I’d smoothed ruffled feathers, said goodnight, and then had to go back and say ‘um, can I borrow your phone please?’.

Worst of it was that my work refused to pay the £200 excess on my insurance. Arses

Anyay, my point, as others have said, is that yeah, some of us have been through it and understand how you’re feeling

I agree with CE, it’s horrible when you have to use somebody else’s phone.

Do you know how difficult it is to get your indicator stalk thing replaced? I guess it’s not helped by the car being so old. But somebody somewhere surely must have the part I need? Looks like my only hope is to pay more than I ought to in order to get the Vauxhall dealership people to replace it.

Not to mention having no end of trouble when driving because I’ve got to use those daft hand signals that no one seems to understand. It’s not my bloody fault I cant use my indicators!

Last week my house got broken into and the bastards teared off one of my drawings on the wall to see if there was a safe or something…it was a 2,5x1 m drawing of a project I did 2 yrs ago, I spent a week to color it and they just cut it into little pieces without touching anything else…BASTARDS :mad:

The hands thing didnt work very well - just seemed to get the person behind me really mad.
