JUst 2 doors down,last Thursday at 10pm!half an hour after they locked it and went inside,their Devon camper got pinched by 2 lads joyriding(?!)-crashed it not far away,so its been recovered and is awaiting the insurance assessment.
This has really put the frighteners on me,although ours is parked on a drive always (definitely now!) with a car parked in front,plus we have a disklok on it.-Thinking of removing an essential part of the engine for when we're away.....dunno what yet! |

jeez! Bet they got 10 years hard labour.
Dizzy arm was a favourite on my old Beach Buggy and a key in the battery cable that came away with me too. |

Wheel clamps are good, but who wants to fit one in the pooring rain when your only poping into the shop for a min. An immobiliser sets itself so you can't forget, its all about convenience because most peoplehave a few lazy tendancies.

there was always a very well used and battered early westy at the top of our road, obviously no scrap value for rust!!, but now they've upgraded to a very sweet Atlantic, I went and let them know of the local state of affairs, they seemed surprised but not too bothered.
mr.bricolage, whats a kocken Loescher?
