Stolen Car plz keep an eye out

if you pay the storage fees you have your car back - simples


what about the numpty who steals a car, causes an accident involving a few other vehicles and upturned cars ? 2 big trucks out at 2am, lifting overturned cars out of hedges, extra men needed, skates,side winching etc etc soon adds up to a £2k bill - the 'cause' of the accident doesnt pay as its nothing to do with him R.E. insurance/costs so the company is left with a defecit of £2k

as with everything (insurance premiums going up/VAT and tax rises) the 'honest'pay for the rest of the public

they already have done to me actually, and it was cheaper to do that then pay the price for a 1am lift out a hedge bottom :thumb:

Jumped on what bandwagon exactly???
I couldnt compete because there simply wasnt the work,i travelled a 50mile radius introducing myself and giving out cards/leaflets to all to do with the motor industry.Just didnt get the response i had hoped for.No harm done.
I was a hell of alot cheaper than the bigger companies,at the time there just wasnt the work and money needed to stay afloat.Its the risk you take isnt it.
I never said i broke the law,i said i was "borderline"

Yes the insurance knew about the cage as for the sound system why do i have declare my sound system when cars come with them standerd ? - Also the insurance aint paying for the car to be kept there or for me to have it back because i wasn't coverd for that ( yes my own fault i know but that was my choice at the time ) ! So still dont see how they can keep things that you have put in the car yourself ! As like said before they aint going to just crush the car with it all in now are they

Draper you have just confused me as you found it cheaper to pay to have the car back than it was to pay for them to remove the car from the hedge then them keep it :confused:

They still charge you for removing the car from the hedge no matter what if they are the ones who have removed it

You jumped on the band wagon of recovering people cars thinking you could make a profit only to find out you couldn't compete with the other companys - just like what happends with lots of other trades when people jump on the bandwagon thinking they to can make a quick buck only to find out they can't compete

Also thought you said you had to turn jobs away or send them onto other companys ! now your saying you didn't get enough work make your mind up Andy

Also running without a tacho in a wagon is breaking the law as far as I know because if stopped by VOSA they would ask to see your tacho if you dont have one they take your licence off you along with your truck ! All the wagons in my work even the 7.5 and even the vans we sometimes have to hire in have to have a tacho put in place by the driver before he drives off otherwise they are breaking the law even if they aint loaded - The law is always been changed by the goverment just to make it harder on wagon drivers ! Like they must have a 45min break where they can't even be sat in the wagon while it's on break if court by VOSA on break sat in the wagon again they are breaking the law

Read all of what is being written please, he said he could only carry up to certain weights and had to turn down jobs because of that and couldnt get enough of the type of work he could do!



And when was the last time you saw a van derived recovery truck having to have a tacho??

stupid_kulie, just accept you have been done over and get on with it.
Did you get a payout on the car? (if not due to 3rd party ins then thats your own gamble)

Its not about making a quick buck is it,its about trying to provide a decent future for your family.
I had to turn SOME jobs away as i couldnt accomodate them on my truck,with the ones i turned away,it could have maybe worked,who knows.
You seem to have a real chip on your shoulder about recovery companies.Get over it.

our traffic management 18tons and 7 and halfs are tacho exempt lol we dont need em
