Maybe its time to park a bait car there, and just so happen to be in a van near it armed with baseball/cricket bats.

Im up for it

 

count me m8, my other car friends are willing to do some fist surgery!!!!

 

Hilltoppers mate, no doubt.

Bizarrely enough, the only silencer in my old mini system was the back box, which promptly fell off just past the Comet roundabout, sounded like a top fuel dragster. The slowest top fuel dragster ever.

Chin up, shop in St Albans even if the parking's pants.

 

This has gotta be a wind up...surely to **** this sort of thing doesn't happen!!!

 

It does happen. There was a notorious car park up in Newcastle years ago. One of my dad's friends parked there early in the morning. The level was pretty full, but by later evening his was the only car there.

When he came back to it, it looked a little "high". Well, that was not surprising, as the c*nts had nicked his whole f'king engine. The ENGINE, wtf!!

Apparantly he just stood there in disbelief. As would anybody else.

 

Thats unreal !! I just cannot get over how low some people will sink.

What car is it as I have an original Subaru Turbo backbox you are welcome to in the interim. I'm only in Enfield and work in Borehamwood just down the A1.

I have had someone try and unbolt my front bumper which I found pretty amazing !

Ive heard of someone nicking a propshaft before....Days when cars were RWD. That must have been the funniest ever ..watchin the guy start her up , engage gear....attempt to shift off ..but hey..... wtf....

On a serious note im sorry to hear that mate. Fitted a nice new back-box to mine and actually thought at the time how easy it could be to swipe it......As it turned out they ripped off my type 5 spoiler instead....
I think as above i will *just not* be parking in multi storey again FULL stop.

 

AllanB,

I've got a sti8 ppp'd (now less the prodrive backbox).

Thanks for the offer m8, but I'm using the O.E. zorst at the moment.

Another thing my wife thinks (insist I sell the car)!!!! too much hassle she thinks?

 

Hardly too much hassle. It can happen with any modded car. Left standard they most likely wouldnt have bothered.

Watch out for a MPV driving around with a prodrive box on

 

LOL'S bob'5

 

Seriously, it really is about time this started to happen. The police can't or won't do anything about this sort of thing. Too often there's little or no evidence left anyway. It really is time for the private citizen to stand up for him/herself. I'm not talking about lynch mobs (as nice as the idea sounds) but what about planting bait cars, having transits sit watching them with video cameras thru tints, etc. Then record any criminal activity and all pile out and make a citizen's arrest. Present the evidence and the crim to the local cops and see if they'll do anything when their job's been done for them.

 

Not really. My car is a parts binfor somebody. This week the took the strip that runs up the left side of the windscreen, over the roof and down the back window.

 

Think they are trying to nick yours bit by bit !!

 

Tell me about it! I'd sell it if I could be although I've got most of the parts now I don't want to put them back on for them to be stolen again.... but who wants to buy a car with those bits missing! catch 22

 

I was giong to see a film there tonight.Think I'll got to Watford now.

Sorry to hear about this.

 

a real cvnts trick!!!, it's probably been sold for a bag of crack for £30 thats the worst part.

 

have you looked on ebay for it yet ? most stolen part seems to end up on there now

 

As it happens there is one FS on ebay at the moment

Seems sus. Funny how he doesnt know exactly what car it came from.



My dad...... blah blah.

How far is his location from where this happened? i dont know either area.

 

Well I won't be heading to the galleria anymore!!

Sorry to hear about you misfortune, a friend of mine spot welded the joints on his makes it a bit of a bugger if you need to get it off but thats a good thing in the long run!!!!

 

Thats a real sh!tter mate, cant believe someone would do that.......

Didnt realise the Galleria was that bad, its not that far from us in St Albans,
if you want to shop in St Albans feel free to park in our car park and walk into town (about 5-10min up the road....)

Maybe worth popping a few spots of weld on the bolts of the new one so its not so easily removed -

About 150-180 miles I suspect? cookstar.

Thanks for the offer SCC PERFORMANCE, I probably won't be using the scoob that much now, if we are shopping that is!

Prodriveuk.

 

When you get your new prodrive backbox put back on, park your car there again, and wait for them in a near by car, when they start to remove it again, cut there fingers off with a Stanley Blade, At least you'll find the dick head who stole it last time and with no fingers he wont be able to steal anybody elses backboxes, and he would have learned his lesson.

 

If I get the backbox fitted I would not only cut their fingers off, I'll tied him/them to the zorst and find as many road humps as possible and let all my fellow scoob owners have a jolly time driving over them!!!!

 

Regarding the spot welding of the bolts, I am a little worried the F**kers after the attempted theft would do damage on the car instead.
