Hi.

Latest copy of P-C, has a disturbing piece about the fact that 1) there is an increase aparently in the theft of "classics". One guy having had 2 Nicked!. 2) An asociated "scam" from some one alleging they know where said stolen vehcles are. and offering to provide the location information "for a Fee". In the region of hudreds of Pounds.

The thieving low life scrotes are still out there, sadly none have fallen victim of the Chinese virus.

Afew years ago, I heard a story about a guy who had his Mk 1 Escort stolen. The thief's disabled the alarm on his house, broke in and got the keys for both the car on the drive and the Escort. pinched the Escort and put everything back whilst the family were on holiday. The Escort has never been seen since.

my dad borrowed my cavalier mk3 and left it at st.albans city train station with the keys in it. I did not get paid out for that. To rub salt into the wounds the skum bag drove it around for three years before the police found it, with a little fire damage! And tried to charge me for removal costs.

Did they catch your dad? :)

From a local “ neighbourhood” site:

“My neighbours car was stolen again last night. It is an old classic car with the exhaust hanging off and something wrong with the engine so it won't have got far. Rear window removed. Stolen from Verey Close, Twyford 1.25am”

”Whar car is it?”

”A BMW”

I’m still sympathetic, honest.
