No petrol worries

Car was stolen overnight.

Utter chunts.

Hope you did not have full tank of fuel as well...

[AtW]

We have an alarm that automatically connects to the police.
Simples.
Never been used except by mistake. Coppers weren't that happy.

Look, nobody in his right mind would want to steal your tulipy Aygo - precisely for that reason nobody would break into your eco shed as well.

It does seem the more common approach to car theft is house burglary for the keys. A bit of a conundrum of how to protect your family and car while ensuring you're still insured if you leave the keys too easy to find.

Almost had it happen to me a few years back. Fortunately I'm a light sleeper so them making a noise climbing the side gate and down the gravel path woke me so I was downstairs by the time they tried breaking into the patio door. Unfortunately they spotted me and legged it before the cops arrived.

Around that time there were about half a dozen cars stolen from the estate yet it still took the cops ages to catch the gang despite the estate only having one entrance/exit via road. One guy had his R32 nicked, replaced it with another, then had than nicked. Cheeky sods.

At least it wiped the smug grin off the young twat across the road who had his golf gti nicked soon after trying to wind me up for not having a gti. After my close encounter I did warn him and said to empty his garage to keep the car out of sight but he didn't listen.

There was a spate of attempts to break in at Paddy’s. Since having IR CCTv , no problems. It makes it easy at night , any noise… just look at the monitor.

Maybe if you were not such a tw*t when talking about police, they'd actually help you out...

What would be cool is a motion sensor, which automatically turned a couple of spotlights onto a would-be intruder.

Well ideally a battery of sentry guns, as used in "Aliens", although you'd have to be careful not to mow down the postman (or yourself if you staggered home pissed one night).

I actually have to pay a surcharge on top of business rates and council tax for extra police. But when they are called out it takes hours. If Tesco or Asda call them, they send five polices cars in seconds. And yes I have complained about the same

My bicycle was nicked a few weeks back, but it was only worth about £10.

They provide employment to locals, serve otherwise important function of delivering food, booze etc - you on the other hand just whine about how bad police is, well serves you right really.

AtW calls police:

“Help, there’s a mad man breaking into SKA and threatening to kill me”

“What is your name”

“Mr Chutneywantski”

“Address”

“10 SKA Buildings Brum”

“Have you telephone about this incident previously ?”

“You will need to come to the police station and get a crime number.”

“I get out the building, he wants to kill me.”

“Has he actually harmed you.”

“No, but he will do”

“We can’t do anything until he harms you”

“He’s just smashed the window”

“That’s a civil matter you have to sue him”
