Once again .............. watch your cars

[Gaz]

Someone tried to nick my DC5 out of the work car park yesterday. I heard my alarm going off but this was about 30 secs after the event ....... wouldn't even have known about it if not for one of the guys in work who spotted a car full of spidey looking sorts shooting off. Very slight damage to the metal part of passenger door lock but nothing to the paint or body. Think they might also have made a beeline for another car parked near mine too.

This was 4pm, busy car park with plenty of our work people coming and going ........ they have brass balls these days. Just a pity I wasn't at our office window as I would have taken great delight in breaking the thief's arm with an iron bar if I'd seen him

Must be the warm weather bringing them out

Best thing to do (for cars that have them) is get a passenger side door lock blank and put it on the drivers side, means there is no visible key hole for them to try and punch through, Stoney had this done on his old Ibiza

 

[Graham2]

Lucky escape, Gaz. Glad there was no damage, they really don't give a fook where or when they do it.

 

[Razor.]

Good job I drive a scrapper then !
Bunch of useless bastids the lot of them

 

[Boydie]

What you going to do on Monday Gaz?

Noone should have to do that though. Really boils my blood. Im I that naive that I just cannot even begin to imagine as to why people can do and think such dishonest things, such as stealing and so on.

Really should be drowned at birth these wee p***ks! Been dragged up rather than brought up!

What you going to do on Monday Gaz?

With the car? Same thing I do every day now .... park it at my window with steering lock on. And keep the bar close by

I've no doubt they'll probably come back to try again.

I'm sure you're aware their rights are more important than yours so if this bar you're talking about is anything more than a Yorkie and you use it you'll be going to Maghaberry and they won't be prosecuted. It's crap but that's how it is.
Glad they didn't get in btw.

 

[Gaz]

Oh I know I know .............. I would gladly pay that price.

 

[Rik]

Im just waiting for them, my proxy sensors would be going nuts if they were near any of the windows, Glad there was minimal damage

What part of Belfast was this?
There was a car parked close to mine broken into yesterday in the car park I use on Boucher Road.

 

[Coog]

Not an immobiliser in the DC5's Gaz?

Dirty bastids. You'll need to keep a real close eye on it now.

 

[Chris_702]

Glad to hear there was little damage.
Like Coog said, youll need to keep a close eye now they know it sits there.

 

[KeithRobinson]

Thankfully they didnt get it Gaz, nightmare!!

 

[localboy]

Use a wheel brace instead
then call it self defense

no CCTV about to catch them gaz?

 

[marcusplowman]

Where abouts was it parked Gaz? PM me if you dont want to put it up on here! Get yourself a Disklok if you dont already have one...definitely one of the best visual deterents!

 

[santoz]

I knocked down someone trying to carjack me before, felt good

Someone in the office beside my Missus' work on York Street got their car nicked yesterday... walked into the office, lifted the boss' keys and facked aff with his car.

Brass Balls indeed.

Sorry to hear about your car Gaz, glad I don't take the Skyline to work, peering out the window every five minutes, just as bad leaving it at home tbh lol, terrible state of affairs, but Im not gonna change my lifestyle of choice of vehicle because of some inbred scumbag bastids.

 

[p 5ary]

fookers Gaz, it could have been worse bud!

 

[M@tt B]

Yes be careful, better weather and these gits are comin out of the woodwork. Dads noticed few dodgy lookin guys about our way recently aswell looking around the place on a couple occasions. Just going to have to keep an eye out, i suggest the rest do the same.

Also last week in our gym 2 guys where followed in and their lockers broke into and keys and wallets taken, then they took their cars

I think it was therock who said 'they aren't going to go running to the police saying 'I was trying to steal this guys car and he assaulted me' so its fair game' or something along those lines

They're brave chancing it in that car park, not the quitest of places to attempt it!

Not far away from you then!

Immobiliser and alarm, but I have zero faith in electronics as anyone in the know can always bypass them. Full steering lock FTW

Doesn't work ..... .... I've asked the powers that be to replace it.

I hear ya. One of our staff spotted 2 dodgy looking males in the car park last week, they challenged them and they pretended they were looking for a shortcut through our place - but they were obviously scoping it out.
