Mot a happy man

Re: scum wrecked my Mayfair
Was this out in Adamstown? That really sucks dude. I wonder are there people going around for mini's. Defo seems like a higher amount happening recently. Might invest in a little wheel clamp.

Re: scum wrecked my Mayfair
thats incredible... . have u comp insurance or are you gonna pay that yourself? i'd be looking for a second quote..
very important to get a deterrent that can be seen ... so the mofo's won't even bother having a go. big chain around the wheel used to work wonders.

Re: scum wrecked my Mayfair
Yeah in adamstown seemingly they had crashed another stolen car in the estate so they must have been tryin to take the mini cos it was handy to take. Yeah il be byin a chain. All the years of laughing at mr been taking off the steering wheel but it all makes sense now

Re: scum wrecked my Mayfair
Happened me too last week ! some builders across the road spotted 2 young lads smashed the window, they tore out the dash for the radio and jammed a screwdriver in the ignition, thank god for my kill switch or it would be gone !!! When they spotted the builders coming over to approach them they scattered.
Scum the lot of them.
Think I'm going to walk around with the rotor arm in my pocket from now on !

Re: scum wrecked my Mayfair
Pity you cant just tear these scumbags a new one. The problem is getting worse now that there isnt as much food sinking to the bottom of the pond for these bottom feeders to fund their miserable lives.
I dont understand how they can be considered part of society.

From experience of these fuckers, the effect of Karma is non existant. They aint dumb either, they do be carrying screwdrivers and knives, they wouldnt think twice about japping you, and they know even if they Kill you by stabbing you in the street, sweet frog all will happen to them.
If you want tear these guys a new one, your the one more likely to come out worse, unless of course you would be prepared to stab them as well. Personally I like not being locked up surrounded by these filth bags, so I try avoid them. I work near that wonderful example of Humanity that is Darndale, Ive seen some mad doodoo.

Re: scum wrecked my Mayfair
as i mentioned before... make the car an unattractive target.. big chain round the wheel, and nothing left in sight! help them make the choice to move on and leave the mini alone.

Unfortunatley they are targets. They are usually well kept, and are not a normal car. This means retards decide to wreck them, just because they can. Found some prick trying to kick in my windscreen there a few months back outside my girlfriends. This Gang was responsible for shooting a man to death in East wall for telling them to frog off.
Saw them on a corner one friday nite, it crossed my mind that just 1 petrol bomb and a communities problems would have been finished.
The only way IMO is zero tolerance from everybody, unfortunatley thats not gunna happen.
But a flashing LED and a big lock are the way to go, or just leave the doors open with nothing in the car.

Sorry to hear about what happened. Where I used to live, if the lads came around to steal your car and couldn't take it, they just burnt it out

Re: scum wrecked my Mayfair

Re: scum wrecked my Mayfair
obviously not the brightest tools in the box...wouldnt you just rather they smash the window. Becareful bending that door back, it could snap. Doors aint cheap at all.

Re: scum wrecked my Mayfair
Tell me about it sure as any mini driver knows the locks in the door are old and I can open them with the end of a lid of a pen so defo not bright call themselves car thieves can't even steel a mini. And they broke the door frame it's cracked in two the only thing holding it up is the window.
Re: scum wrecked my Mayfair
thats sucks big time, sorry to hear that, nothing worse 
ive got dints all over my car and not one of them are from me!!
have myself removable steering wheel and an immobiliser...i like to think they'd just walk passed the car when they see no stereo or no steering wheel in it, it may be worth investing in one yourself?
hope you get it sorted an back on the road soon mate
Allan
