mk1estate Posted May 31, 2014 Report Posted May 31, 2014 read this and i just cant think of anything to say, they nicked the car...the police knew they had the car...the police knew where the car was so what the hell went wrong, my mate got a conviction a while ago cos he got a bit tipsy one night and on the way home he knicked a pint of milk !!!!!!! but it seems ok to knick a car !!!!!!!
Herr Doktor Posted May 31, 2014 Report Posted May 31, 2014 Glad to hear you've got the car back. Empty bottle, litre of petrol, rag and a match you say? My, what would you plan on doing with that? 1

Are these people free to do whatever they like? Are the police powerless or scared to challenge them?
texr2000 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Glad you got your car back, to many stories of them never being seen again on here.
Admin Mk2Jo Posted June 2, 2014 Admin Report Posted June 2, 2014 Stu don't get rid of the car ... can't you look for a lock up to keep it safe or a neighbours garage?
stuartp Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Posted June 2, 2014 I'm going to need some advice on insurance now - first thing the doris said when I said it had been found again but damaged is 'obviously a write off' and then something about a cash settlement classic car policy, fully comp should surely mean car gets put back to how it was, insurance pay - end of
Admin Vista Posted June 2, 2014 Admin Report Posted June 2, 2014 That depends entirely on whether you have an agreed value and whether the cost to repair exceeds the value (the latter even if it isn't an agreed value) as the car is yours though the "scrap" should also be yours and I'm going to assume that the damage is not so extreme so as to preclude repair (legally) meaning it can be put back on the road? Write off categories are below: Category A A vehicle which should have been totally crushed, including all its spare parts. Category B A vehicle from which spare parts may be salvaged, but the bodyshell should have been crushed and the car should never return to the road. Category C An extensively damaged vehicle which the insurer has decided not to repair, but which could be repaired and returned to the road. Category D A damaged vehicle which the insurer has decided not to repair, but which could be repaired and returned to the road. Category F A vehicle damaged by fire, which the insurer has decided not to repair. Theft These vehicles have not been recovered and ownership rests with the insurer who made the total loss payment. They are able to repossess the car as soon as it is identified, even if it has been bought innocently. Vehicles categorised as A, B or C require a VIC test before the DVLA will issue a new registration document. This will then be noted on the V5C.
stuartp Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Posted June 2, 2014 mine must be a d then sounds like it's mostly interior damage while they looked for the tracker (which would have all been avoided had the police taken the car back when they first went to where it was being held!) I'm very eager to see it myself (bit scared though)
Neon-rc Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 IF it is just damage to the interior... can the insurance company force you to take money off them? or can you just say that you yourself are willing to repair it to how it was without anything being recorded on a HPI check
DT36 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Makes you think if the thieves are monitoring forums such as this to get their info, such as knowing it had a tracker fitted. Althought he police may have slipped up and said something similar to them when they went for a look around. Friend of mine had a very expensive mountain bike stolen from his garage. Thieves knew where it was because they had been looking at his pictures and his ride routes on Every Trail App. It basically led them to his front door. Hope you get it sorted though Mate, as this is just so wrong on all levels...
stuartp Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Posted June 2, 2014 I'm going to collect it this afternoon. ignition is smashed and centre console ripped out so who knows how i'll start it - going to get it recovered to my favourite old ford garage though 1

Admin Vista Posted June 2, 2014 Admin Report Posted June 2, 2014 I'm going to collect it this afternoon. ignition is smashed and centre console ripped out so who knows how i'll start it - going to get it recovered to my favourite old ford garage though I have a mk1 Ignition barrel assembly complete, the only drawback is I've lost the key for it (OK I know that's a significant drawback) it's yours for free if you can round up multiple keys to see if one fits and get a copy cut of it? 1
Nuttynil Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 So glad you got this back .I think you deserve a written letter explaining the reason why they never searched the area .I come from the Gravesend area have grown up with travellers, pikeys I know they are scum .we all know the reason they are scared of them that's the truth .neil
Admin Vista Posted June 2, 2014 Admin Report Posted June 2, 2014 Do you follow OSF on twitter Stuart? We've been giving Kent Police a bit of stick for their lack of action on Friday and eventually got the reply below @Old_Skool_Ford We put victims first & investigate all crimes thoroughly. If you wish to complain you can do so here: http://www.kent.police.uk/contact_us/have_your_say/complaints_compliments/comp.html Nothing to lose by making your feelings known eh? 3

Are these people free to do whatever they like? Are the police powerless or scared to challenge them? Yes mate, they refuse to contribute to society, but are quite willing to use the National Health Service etc, and they believe that if it aint bolted, welded,screwed & nailed down then its their God given right to appropriate it. VERMIN basically
stuartp Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Posted June 3, 2014 just made my complaint to kent police I'm positive the car would be almost intact inside if they had taken the car when they went onto the site 4
Blimey Posted June 3, 2014 Report Posted June 3, 2014 Write to your local mp's as well ,Or the complaint may simply disappear ... 1
