Thieving gits

doomvolvo · Mar 4th, 2006, 20:24

Would you believe the lengths thieving scum will go to! I'd only had my new backbox on just over a month. I parked it in the carpark near where I park my work van as I do every day only this time some thieving git clocked the exhaust. Now for the lengths I know they had to got to to get at it.
My car is low. So low in fact that the standard jack no longer fits under the car. I normallt drive up on a brick then use a jack. It was also reversed up so close to a wall that it almost was touching. The only way the could have got it off that I can see is too lift the car 3 ft off the ground to get the exhaust off past the wall as it would have hit the wall to pull it off backwards. I'd also deliberatly rounded off the nuts so it was a B*&%h to undo.
So alas the sexy twin understated pipe on my trusty but dusty 440 is gone. Now the back end looks vacant as I had a little bit of boddy modifying to do.

Sorry to hear that doomvolvo. "Thieving scum" never a truer word said!!!
My Grandfather is in his 80's and he had a little Peugeot diesel. He had my uncle get him a new battery and some scum bag must have seen him take it into his house because, two days later his car got broken into and all they took was his battery.
The funny thing was HE HADN'T FITTED THE NEW ONE....

The look on their faces when they put in their car would be priceless. The Lord truly works in strange and wonderous ways.

I would have loved to have been their Bob. For more than I reason, 1. to see the look on their faces and 2. to give them a very hard kick in the back side. That really upset my Grandfather. But on a lighter note, it didn't take him as long to fit the new one and he didn't have to take the old one to the dump!
