mr&mrs leadfoots girl Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 i will def have a look out, as we always are around the a217... there are sometimes a little cruise on thursday nights in kimpton industrial estate so ill keep my eyes out.... hope the escort will be found soon and every1 be carefull!!! even though i havent got an osf i feel for all of you... they need shooting!!!!!!
Mr.Sumo Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 i for one find this whole scenario very scary . As you all know i have had to move my car because of " suspected " thieves . I am in agreement that something needs to be done ... but be careful chaps , with the Law in this land as it is , if you touch someone who tries to steal your car , your probably liable to be done ...sad fact unforunatly I think the OSF Database should come into full effect here ...starting with the South London posse , yep , thats you Gaz , by posting ANYTHING anyone sees or hears that looks the slightest but suspicious Nice call there Jo , lets hope the local Taliban take this with the serious note that it is ! And to quote Shaw Taylor ... " Keep them eyes peeled "
stephens_xpack Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Feel quite glad now that mines been on axle stands for 8 years I doubt Jesus could start her at the mo. I will be keeping an eye out though
Rick Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 hope you guys catch these crooks. its a scary situation
PIG Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 people just beef up the security like what has been said,the old bill wont do shit imo as they are shit scared of pikeys.that is why the dirty thieving fookers get away with every thing.
d_bizzle Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Suddenly the fact that the neighbours always park in front of my garage doesn't seem so irritating...
kevmk2 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 I cant believe how bad things are getting these days. My brother once was asked at a set of traffic lights to pull over into the petrol station just past the lights so that the guy and his mates can have a look at his car, my brother said no, then the bloke got out of his car whilst they were at the lights, so my bro floored it and went through a red light, he wasnt taking any chances Ive been followed a few times, i always go a differant route each time i come home if i can, i have beefed up my garage security with an alarm and other items. May get some razor wire too for the edges of the roof
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 I got a decent alarm system for my mates garage yesterday with 120db external siren , internal siren , 7 zone panel , magnetic door switches , p.i.r. sensor , battery back up , etc etc for £140 with all the cable . This is not bad considering how much peoples tools + cars are worth these days
H.P.E harry Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 Watch um peeps their be taking cars at knife point soon at the side of the road. It has actually happened before on the A217, a man was sitting at the lights, not in an osf but in his nice new car and a gang came from the side of the road and tried to nick his car! Seems like you cant have anything these days. Also i dont think anyone would be getting to mine any time soon, my garage is alarmed and blocked by a land cruiser about 4 taxis's and my 205! Im well prepared
PaulAlex Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 Very worrying! I already have what I consider to be decent security in & around my garage/car, but I'll definately being looking at adding more stuff now..... As has been said abve - be vigilant, and someone will get a lead on this pikey....
petrolhead Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 I have my doubts about how effective car alarms are these days as I'm sure alot of you do, but here is an idea of mine: Tracking devices cost around £500 and they are getting cheaper all the time, how about ten of you get together put your name forward to a moderator who then approaches a tracking company to get 10 cars done at a discount, say £400 each. If the names go to a moderator and kept anonymous then any Pikey reading this will know that at least 10 extra OSFs down South have tracking devices. Or alternatively/ in addition, doing the same thing but for this product: http://www.trackershack.co.uk/tracker-bug-201-p.asp it's a £70 tracking device that uses a sim card and the mobile masts. Not as accurate but it has a added benefit of you being able to dial it and listen to what is going on in the car without the occupants knowing. If we get another 10+ OSF using these, then nicking OSF will start to seem like an uninviting prospect.
Rick Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 i like that idea. i will be looking into fitting a tracker. maybe i can ask a few companies for us? if we can get 10 people that is?
FredTransit Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 i like that idea. i will be looking into fitting a tracker. maybe i can ask a few companies for us? if we can get 10 people that is? Well, depending on cost we have 3 Mk1 transits I would be interested in tracking, and have another 2 that would need them in time, and some Mk2 transits.....
Mrs O/H/C Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 A FRIEND OF OURS HAD HIS GARAGE DOOR TAKEN OFF LAST NIGHT !!! THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY AFTER HIS ANGLIA VAN !!!!!!!!!!!!! HE LIVES JUST OUTSIDE CROYDON AREA !!
lotusless Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 bloody hell this is getting stupid!! if i didn't just sell my escy i would have slept in the garage with it. roughly what area was this latest garage break in?
Mrs O/H/C Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 JUST OUTSIDE THE CROYDON AREA ...AND AS I SAID THEY TOOK THE BL**DY GARAGE DOOR OFF !! THE OWNER IS NOT ONE TO BE MESSED WITH EITHER...SO FOR SAFETY IM NOT GOING TO RELAY WHEREABOUTS HE LIVES AS HE IS NOT AMUSED !!!!!
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 This is getting beyond a joke. Perhaps we should set up a 'security' room to discuss this further, and have entry to it by invite only. The last thing I want is some pikey reading what we're about to do to secure our cars...
oliwally Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 trouble is if we tried to do something to stop these C***S we'd end up like ourselves,the laws a joke in this country
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 Taking garage doors off , taking garage roofs off , WTF can you do to stop these coooooooonts !!!!!!!!!
oliwally Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 hide in the back of your car and wait till they try and take the car.
Mrs O/H/C Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 Taking garage doors off , taking garage roofs off , WTF can you do to stop these coooooooonts !!!!!!!!! THE WAY ITS GOING YOU WILL ALL HAVE TO SLEEP IN YOUR CARS !!!!
madturk Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 Just been down tesco,s in crawley to buy some just for men hair colour in black bastards were sold out ,seems like our suspect is trying to disguise himself as they said paddi came in and cleared the shelves and was seen leaving the car park in a pink shogun with tractor wheels on the back and pram wheels on the front anyway on a serious note i agree with everyone be very aware of everything and stop talking on this subject openly on this forum i think enough has been said openly and agree it shoud only be invite only discussion from now on, for those of you who have been victims all we can do is keep a look out for your cars and hope that it returns to you safe and sound
zetecmk2 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 now im worried! a lot of the ideas are impractical to me as mine is my everyday drive so must leave wheels on etc! security opinions please!(serious practical ones) i also live in pikey central
BIG G Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 All ya can do is Pray.............. Or make it as difficult and as noisy to remove as possible
surfingturnip Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 my uncle used to have a siren that was left over from the war or something. You could apparently hear it from a few miles away. He used it as his garage alarm
