bangar Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Evening all. Ive been working on the car all day, and had a pikey come by was looking in everyones gardens and walkng all the streets my road is a dead end. Any hows he asked me a million and one questions about my car like Value, what ive done to it, what ive spent on it, what needs doing, whats wrong with it, has it got mot and tax. Then he took a seat on the drivers seat turned steering about, engine was running and revved it! I did not like this so kindly told him get out. Then he asks if im selling it, why wont i sell, what would make me sell it. I just said its very shabby and rust all over not worth a bean really, its more for giving me something to do than anything. The one that got me was, can i take it for a drive mate, well like no. I wont steal it promise you can sit beside me, I dont think so. I was polite to him, didnt know quite what to make of him, then a neighbour tells me he been walking all the roads in the area looking in everyones gardens. Its got me abit paranoid now, she all alarmed up and stuff and gear + steering lock and blocked in by another car. Im going to put her on axle stands and take of the wheels and steering wheel. Best to be on safe side. p.s hes white, about 5'8-10", waering cream top and trousers, ginger hair medium length spikey and scar on left cheek and pikey accent but not strong. Didnt see any cars or vans he seemed to be on foot patrol

vibrating_Cake Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 Did my best to get him gone asap, told as little as possible without seeming evasive, basically told him a load of hairy spheres and i think he bought it. Im sleeping in the car for a few nights whenever someone local or remotley pikey comes and looks at my car i always tell em the same thing, its fooked and wont go over 40mph, smokes like a bitch and theres rust fooookin everywhere and im so pissed off with it. and if they ask me to sell it, ill just say naah its got 12months ticket on it, why waste it!

mk1super Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 Im now taking care of my mates Big staff crossed with god know what. He's lives in my garden now. A Dog is an excellent idea, also look at a ground anchor and chain the car to it use heavy duty bike chains if poss, keep car blocked in and talk to your neighbours make it seem black as poss, there casing the street you have heard of break in's just up the road etc basically get the street paronoid and on lock down, that way anyone out of the ordinary pops up you know about it, and if any light fingered f**kers go near your motor they call the plod!

capri71 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 They do all that questioning crap to test ya - to see if your soft/easy/scared. ...and a dog isn't a good idea - they'l steal that AND the car. I don't agree wiv all this nicey nicey approach - if they are about, keep a shovel/gardenfork/jackhandle wiv ya and lock up everything at night... take no shite from the scallywags

EscortHeadCase Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 they are vermin, ive worked on national grid sites where they cut the copper earth cables and straps at the very limit of safety distances. We're talking 300mil away from a buzzbar with 130kv that would be more than happy to arc across to you and turn you into a black smudge on the floor. Dont tell them jack. leave it on blocks at night. surround it in electrified razor wire. Make it as difficult as possible.
DizzyDennis Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Did he say it was a cushty old skrev chavy, dordy strike me dead mush, I swear down on my granny's dead budgies grave a won't steal it... take oath.? Oh and don't bother taking wheels off they'll hiab the fooker away. King Hedge Monkeys
escortmad79 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Get one of these mothers & loop it around the back axle! If you're really serious, you could loop another around the crossmember too
capri71 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 I wouldn't be so confident about a little chain - years ago, I woke to the sound of one of these by the time I got downstairs and looked down the alley, the didicoys were off in their transit, wiv my neighbours Ducati in the back. All they left was the chain, in 2 bits, and a big cloud of 2 stroke smoke - bastads
