Re: OT:Bastards!

Nige uttered summat worrerz funny about:

Worlds most successful lookout? ;-) It's a good job you didn't give her a bit of therapy in the darkness. Perhaphs it was fate? You could have saved her life.

Were they after the Rangie or the Scoobie?

Well, you could also get run over running for a bus mate. No way will anyone do this to me or my family. Has it ever happened to you? not being funny, but it does get your blood up. All i want to do was detain them as i knew the Police where on thier way. I dare say i might have given them a quick tickle, but who knows until it happens?

Scooby is at work in a secure car park! Cant see any kids nicking in a Hanoi style burglary won't be interested in a 10 year old RR!! It could really only have been for ram raiding I reckon.

It was obvious, as in the last time some scum tried to nick my wifes A4 cab, that they are after car keys. I have good security, but it did highlight the back & side, that is farmland, is very open. Not for long.

Thats a very good point matey, as i first saw her my anger turned to compassion. I hoped she wasnt injured, but how bizarre to see? The funny thing is, we live in a very nice area, but there is always something going on (but you dont see it when yer kipping!) The bobby had more than a few tales to tell!

Funny, but the WRX has never even been sniffed at. The CCTV system has caught a few so far with LR's & Mini's.

nevertheless, you have to be dead careful to only use "reasonable force", irritating though it is. I like the idea though of s**te-traps - dig a moat around yer property, fill it with nice soft damp clay. about 4' deep should do it. Get the consistency just right and the scrotes will get stuck in it just like flies on a fly-paper, to await the arrival of dibbles to pull 'em out.

at the very least, they'll lose the trendy trainers in the gloop and have to run home barefoot.

You can get into *any* "Plastic door" type door lock in about 40secs, whatever the rating - I'm obviousy not saying how. Bob The Builder showed me when we accidently locked ourselves out.

There is a very good reason they didn't target the GTi - an immobiliser. All new cars have themand you normal car theif hasn't got a hope of getting around them!!!

Really annoyed me the other day when our local council and the Police were crowing about the big reduction in burnt out cars in the area - they had NOTHING to do with it!!!

I go mountain biking in the area where most of the thiefs burn out cars - these days you see things like Metros - Astras and even a Volvo 240 estate!!! All really old cars - and there aren't many of them left these days.

I wouldn't put money on that!

me neither. depends on the car, but especially on a diesel I reckon I could bypass most immobilising strategies fairly easily.

took me about 10 seconds with two bits of wire.

1. Make stop solenoid live = fuel

1. Make starter solenoid live = engine turning

2. Engine running

I get the feeling that wasn't a modern car with electrickery all over the engine bay!

things with EDC or such would be more tricky. But a lot of diesels are still using a mechanical injection pump
