Thieves in Wycombe area
« on: January 09, 2007, 22:59:50 »
Just got home to find some <edit> has tried to steal 'Red  :x
Looks like rear quarter window pushed out to unlock rear door, rifled through the 'kit' inside then bent dog guard to get into front
Someone's been dead busy with a screwdriver until finding the immobiliser  :evil:
They'd have chuckled even louder if they'd got so far as to find temperamental nature of the starter would have scuppered any further  :lol:
Dash all torn out and wires everywhere so not going anywhere now for a while
Definitely going for the vehicle rather than opportunist contents theft
And we were all due new bushes and an MOT on Thrsday too  :(

So, please keep an eye out locally and make sure your motor is safe
And if you see anyone sus' loitering around I'd like a word...  :twisted:

They seem to be heading south, this spate of LR thefts was up north a few months back and if definatly working it was down the country - thieving gits.  :evil:

Glad to hear they didn't manage to steal your pride and joy!

Now on a completely different and rather selfish note.........
I have recently moved down to the High Wycombe area for work. I go back up to Yorkshire and the WIFE on weekends.
If anyone in that area would fancy meeting up for a beer one evening that would be great!
it gets a bit boring being on your own every night without TV or internet :lol:
As people who know me can attest I can talk forever about offroading and my G-wagen :oops:
So if anyone would like to meet up, gimme a shout (PLEASE...............)

Thanks

Lonely down South, Richard

Thanks all  ;)
Just waiting on the insurance guys now...
Bit of a shock really as so targeted at taking the vehicle  :O
Not a fan of alarms but might be having a rethink  :?

G-mod, were you the G-Wagen at the HORC 'do' at Taplow the other week?
Tasty bits o' kit those Mercs!  8)



Always time for a beer down this way  ;)
