View Full Version : Situation
Well to start off what im on about, 6 times in the last month fekin pikeys have stopped outside my house when ive been working on my car and asking me if im selling it, i always tell them its not for sale, and then they try to buy parts off it, like my alloys,exhaust etc and i tell them no..
4 of them have drove off and not seen them again.
today and last friday 2 of them have both said they will come back later in the night and take them.
the friday night one said he would take the car, but didnt.
and one today said he would come back for the alloys (i dont have locking wheel bolts)
What can i do?
its pissin me off with them stopping and asking. obviously i dont want my car robbed but i dont wanna go sitting up all night waiting to see if something happens.
(ive got the reg of all the cars/vans that have asked aswell)

easy, take the wheels off your self and put it on bricks, that will confuse them lol
as much mechanical immobilisation as possible, HT leads removed, no battery, no wheels etc

all there really after is the CAT, battery and alloys.
cons of rising scrap prices.

CCTV FTW:)
Also, remove king lead, and loosen all wheel studs, so if they take the car theyre gonna die:thumb:
Report them to the Police, at least you will then have it logged if anything was to happen. In the mean time just try and make thieving as difficult as possible for them. Remove the steering wheel and the king lead.

I just edited my post because I re-read the original and I think removing the wheels may be a bit OTT lol

buy a garage lol
Just buy some clothes pegs or whatever pish gypsy's are selling these days and that will keep them happy.
haha, well battery is off and so are my ht leads, i managed to drain the petrol right down so it wont start it just chugs.
im not to bothered about the alloys, if they go they go, they only cost £40, but i just dont want the whole car goin lol
I assume you don't use the car daily do you?
General Baxter
20-04-10, 07:38 PM
lol, ill come and hiab it away tonight lol
I assume you don't use the car daily do you?
No the car gets used about once a week or so.
The problem is that if they want it they will have it, just need to try and make it as difficult as possible so much so that they would have to physically lift the car or similar to get away with it.

i know what there like round here, 3 trailers have been robbed from peoples front gardens up my road, (about 200-250 houses) where my car is parked theres grass behind it and then a layby which is full at night, the only way they can get to it is if there isnt a car parked there tonight blocking the way.
(if needs be i can get someone to park their car there)

idea
park your car on a steel plate, put your house negative on the plate, and a positive on the car, it wont earth out due to the tires, but when they touch your rim (lol rim) the shock should be big enough to pass through them

id go get a alarm asap but just get some locking nuts ect for now and remove the king lead!

An alarm wont do **** as they'll just come with a trailor and tow it away in seconds. If you call the police and they find out they will take it for sure. Cameras will be pointless as they have no ID. Taking wheels off they will still take your car.
To be honest, there isnt much you can do lol
I had this once, but to my advantage i have a peice of crap orion sat out side my house and they took it away for £400 hahaha fail on them. Got it off my drive way!

If that was a Ghia I bet you'd rather have it now. lol

Any half decent alarm will go banana as soon as the car is moved or knocked.
ive got a sigma s30 alarm. which ill be fitting later on today as i never got round to doing it.
but round here, if they dont take it the day they say they will have it. they dont take it at all..
so ill just have to wait for the next feker

Thats good car security ha ha fry the thieving cunts!
locking nuts are a awste of time imho... We got a vxt from a scrappy to sort out and it had no locking key, had the locking bolts out in less time than normal bolts lol
odds on if you loosened the bolts off and they crash + die you would get a bollocking for it lol
tbh if you dont mind staying up all night one night, just leave it unlocked, windows open and if you feel daring a blank key in the ign.
It will look FAR too suspect for them to ever touch it and probably wont come back.

true mate if you left the wheel nuts undone youl be probrably be liable!

im not up for taking the risk on that if im honest, when ever they have came and asked me if im selling it etc, its always been a car full or a van full of them. so i highly doubt there will be only 1 pikey comin to take it, theres got to be atleast a 3sum of pikeys..
theres nothing in the car worth a considerable ammount of money, just a headunit (no face) and a mini jack.
so it would be pointless breaking into. and theres no battery,ht leads, king lead is disconected, no dizzy, and ive got locking wheel nuts in the post.
but ill see how it goes...
(baring in mind this has only started becuase there doing road works up my road and the traffic light stop point is right outside my house. so ill be glad when the feckers have gone)
Do a cúnts trick & chain it to the floor or another car :thumb:

Back in the day, Offplots old black SR IIRC, said they moved his gte to get to it, pushed it, and found no gears lol, no engine lol
pete G, your car has no cat, it is too old.
they are young pikey traveller scum from that camp at sileby. the rozzers will not dare set foot on there because the travellers have the best lawyers........
they are talking sh!t about coming & fetching it, especially if there is stuff parked round it....and having a laugh at your expense. pikey reg numbers get changed more often than their shirts, what you need is photographs, names are also changed regularly...........
i get some down my street regularly, one lot have been coming round for years & are old school romany gipsies. they are great lads & i let them have stuff. more recently there have been some diddies (our local name) round, and one of them was up my drive, i shot out my front door like a greyhound. he was asking me about an exhaust that was the other side of my iron gates, & was actually obscured from the road by my nova. i told him to leave, he got all defensive & i told him firmly that the stuff was mine, if i'd wanted to recycle it, i would have already done so. he left & thje exhaust is still there

they weren't pikeys...... pikeys are interested in scrap value, hence they have hiab cranes. the ones mentioned above were some young tawts who were chancing it......
