That's bad, & sadly happens far too often.

I see the way your mind is working and for scum like that I can only approve.

Hope they catch them soon.

:shock: just typical of the endemic lack of morality that is rampant on our streets.Having worked in correctional facilitys and in public security,more and more i've witnessed the chavy" leave im alone he's a good kid at heart" twaddle that get rolled out by the pained middle class liberals.In defence of little &*%$ who grow up to pull out stunts like this! Im the first to admit that me and my skinhead and punk contemporys, were at times out of line.But there was at least some 'self policing' but even still i and a lot of me mates knew we were getting away with it.Because of the rise of the"professional hippie" but i Knew i needed boot camp national service hell even the dagenham girl pipers would have been something!But now there are 3 or 4 genertions of excuses, backed up on what is basically moral lazyness by those who were are elders and apparantly betters.Now we are at a point in time where we are begining to reap the whirlwind! And this is the result! It can only get worse
yer better not naff this up an come back to these shores or god help me yer auld aunt nelly will jump out of her grave an like as not kick yer teeth in......

Awful that this kind of thing should happen to anyone.
I dont know if i should post this but i feel i need to.
 We do not live in South Africa and killing to steal cars as far as i am aware is not common.
Why would a determined and calculated car thief ( he killed and maybe was supported by the silver car in the report) park in a church car park? A thief would have somewhere to hide a valuable stolen car so maybe there is more to this than meets the eye.

My Colleague at work was interviewed as she was visiting in laws in Wolvey at the time of the incident, his son is one of our customers.

Think that this is awful why do these people do such things what for ?

what can you say.... condolences to the ones left behind . . . .

Just shows the state we are in within the country.  Even if the scrotes are caught they will probably be left off with a caution or less..... disgusting
If I could only find some mud to play in, I would be as happy as the preverbial pig!!!

County's gone to the dogs

Find the person who did it and shoot them - saves on court/legal costs

After that anyone who winges about that Brazilian dole scounger who got shot in the aftermath of the tube bombing.....

I read the thread title and thought "what's the problem there then?" Didn't realise the wrong guy died.
Anyone getting caught nicking my landie will be pleased when the end(finally) comes. :twisted:
Cheers, Karl..
