I've just remembered all mine are registered at my dad's address......I'm a dumbass

[Mk2Jo]

I just had this reply from Sutton Police:

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Can you confirm whether a vehicle has been stolen or unusual interest is being shown to it. ?

If a vehicle has been stolen I will need more details from you - you can either ring us -

1. Telephone 0208 649 1212 and you will be connected to the police exchange.

 

2. Ask for the Control Room at Sutton Police Station. (They will connect you to a call handling centre under a system known as Metcall).

 

3. Explain to them the circumstances and tell them that you would like to make an allegation of crime under the Computer Misuse Act.

 

4. They will provide you with a call reference and forward your details to the Telephone Investigation Bureau (TIB) at Sutton Police Station.

 

5. The TIB at Sutton Police Station will contact you and take the details to substantiate the allegation. You should provide them with sufficient details to prove/show that an offence actually took place,

 

or you can report it on line at https://online.met.police.uk/

 

However if it is just unusual interest being shown to these cars, please let me know the exact location and I will ask the safer neighbourhood team to get in touch

and give advice.

The best thing to do is resister the car in your name to your parents or relatives address thats what i do...no getting traced that way

 

Bit of a bugger when you have to insure it then TAX it I would imagne

 

sab mate nobody is suggesting you use some random address, just one different to where the car is kept . We have a business address, and all the vans and cars are registered there, we have no problem with getting tax reminders or insurance.

 

On that note, I can recommend getting a box number and registering cars there, it's legal as long as you can be easily contacted by post there. they don't cost a lot, and it's worth it for peace of mind. Also if the car is kept at the address it's registered at, it's worth blanking out the number on any pics you post. Why make it easier for them?

[Toby]

That's reasuring!!!

[Rick]

why dont the police just put a radio message out asking there patrol cars to look out for the suspicious vehicle.

 

whats all that bullshit??

 

write back and tell them not to worry themselves we'l sort it out our own way

[Mk2Jo]

I will reply with the information that I have been sent but I need those people who have given me info to be more specific about the areas these incidences have happened and dates please. The more information we can provide, the better chance we have of being taken seriously. I need your help here please

3. Explain to them the circumstances and tell them that you would like to make an allegation of crime under the Computer Misuse Act.

 

You did tell tham that someone was stealing CARS and not just sending you malicious emails....? I just don't understand that bit.

 

Or is it an email copied from someone who did allege a computer crime??

[ZetecVan 2.0]

Oh and if anyone sees anything suspish, like the 4x4 or someone taking an interest in your car, try and take pictures with your phone.

I told them that a car had been stolen but that has already been reported and being dealt with so my main concern was the information we have on a suspicious vehicle and occupants approaching people in the area about the cars ..... it's not a crime though is it until the car gets nicked . WE can only advise them what has been seen, heard and done and we need times and places so they can log the info and pass it onto the bobbies on the beat.

 

The computer misuse bit comes (I think) from the fact that we are a web-based club and I assume she thinks there has been some online misuse with the Shogun people asking on here about the cars

I'll do the best i can- Burgundy or dark red Shogun, Guy is in his fifties, grey hair stocky build, about 6ft, thick irish accent. Shogun is around the 98 or 99 age. All i can remember, around the september time last year, turned up and nosed around, I gave him business card then told him my car was a customers car and that i dont keep cars in garage. Hope this helps, Oh and my garage is in ewell area.

[Mk2Jo]

Thanks Stu . Someone on here actually has the reg no of the vehicle but hasn't yet given me the details.

[Posse]

Come on stand up and be counted the more information jo gets the more chance of these poor fookers getting there cars back

[over_head_cam]

Judging by their response, they didn't really understand what you were saying Jo

Story of my life that is

[Cortina Girl]

If these ba**ards are using this & other sites to get info from the DVLA etc from reg plates, then even if we remove our location & reg plates from sigs, when the next batch of meet pics are uploaded they will all be on show again. Unless they are not posted without having reg numbers removed first. Even then with the amount that are already on the site, it will be a bit like bolting the gate after the horse has bolted.

Let`s just hope they are caught soon. I would love to be with whoever does find em, fink I`d borrow my other halfs steelys for the job

[Rick]

i dont think the reg plate blanking makes much difference to be honest, they can spot your car out and about and note it down or from pics from another club/website/magazine

 

just keep em secure

[Josh_gsy]

you know with all the trouble you have, im glad i live on guernsey now. i go on the lash leave my parked in town, maybe unlocked occasionly come back and if it wasnt there it would be a front page news with a six page story on it!

[radar tech]

call me paranoid , but if ANYONE comes askin or lookin at my escy i always snap a pic of them on my phone then back em up on my hard drive with date detail in the save name. If they got nothin to hide usually they dont mind , if they do mind TOUGH SHIT !!

[Josh_gsy]

yea might be able to squeeze you in, however we have only recently got eletricity and all drive tractors as our daily driver! oh and my sister is my mothers brothers wife.

Joke!!!

and i wander where people get strange ideas about guernsey from!

[hotrodholty]

looks like the pikeys have took over from us scousers in nickin cars.

if the police aint arsed, next person to see this gypo tw*t. knock em out and give him a good pasting. i fookin hate pikeys.

i hope you guys get your motors back. and ill be keepin my eyes peeled up our way for any osf's sittin in the docks for ireland

does anyone have a list of stolen cars, as i deal with a transport company that operates in all the irish docks and they can keep an eye out aswell.

 

also it might be worth marking some of the bigger more expensive parts of your car(struts, axles, motors. ect), just incase they appear on ebay and you can identify them

[Guest MK1gaz]

They will probably put a parking ticket on the thieves low loader though !!!!!!!!

Yep, all those who are currently rebuilding cars go into your local cop shop & get one of those UV pens that they give out to mark bikes & property & put a symbol on various parts (Not your post code as it's easy to trace).

 

A few years back a guy at the Great Dorset Steam Fair had a rare motorbike stolen at the show.

Walking around the trade stands he picked up an item on a stall, went to the next stall & picked up another item, walked away & returned a few minutes later with a police officer. He picked up the item from one stall & showed it to the officer & told him it was from his bike, when he challenged the Irish seller he denied all knowledge that it was stlen & claimed he'd brought it with him, at which point the chap turned it over to reveal a unique symbol on the item which he had added whilst restoring the bike!

He managed to recover a large amount of his bike from 3 stalls in a row, all owned by Irish pikeys!

 

The pikey gits had stolen it the night before & completely stripped it overnight!

 

The owner putting a matching mark on each item is what got his parts back & managed to get the pikeys convicted!

 

Put a post up about contacting ports in the stolen room, would be good if you could keep an eye out
