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. Cry

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.Smile

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? LOL
