Dodgy Goings on - Coventry Area
« on: August 16, 2012, 07:44:32 am »
Heard some noises outside early, early hours of this am.

Went out to see a black mk4 Golf (3dr) 2 upstanding members of society in it. one round the back end of my car.

Only part of the reg i caught was S934. It was modified - exhaust, wheels (black think Audi reps).

They scarpered sharpish, so those local be aware.

Apologies for vagueness.

Definitely make the Police aware. They might get lucky and pull them.

Local car got pulled a few days ago just for a broken brake light and a big stash of drugs was found - Win!!

I reckon it was Gaz and Greeners. They know what to look for in a GTI, they are located close to coventry and they have a warehouse to stash the cars in.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

^^Haha, generalising an entire region of the UK as a crime hotspot, you should become a police officer! Idiot. :booty:

Also, sleeping with your keys is the worst advice, if they break into your house while you're asleep they're going to take your keys whether they have to bash your skull in or not, worth risking your families life for the sake some metal on wheels?! OK then.

I was simply passing on knowledge of what I've heard to people on the forum.

Jeez it was a joke! Calm down  :happy2:

If someone sleeps with their keys tonight and gets killed for them you're going to feel very guilty  :chicken:   :fighting:

....Hey, matey! That's pretty aggressive for a first post. You could easily have made your point by using calmer language and leaving out the insults.

Why would I feel guilty?!

If I told you to jump off a cliff would you do it? Actually, don't answer that  :smiley:

..........i always take my keys up-stairs.If some little wan*** wants to try & take my car they had better be prepared for a 6 foot 3 inch tall 16 stone bloke with a 3 cell Mag light by the bed. I don't rate there chances.
