theowlsman Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I parked my old style mini outside of work once and when I went back to it caught someone red-handed trying to lever off the chrome grill. I'm quite sure they didn't try it again anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny El Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) To be honest the car has not been targeted because of football. It's just unlucky as somebody is needing a red front end off a corsa which also had a front spoiler. Probably find it on eBay or the likes. There is a gang going around targeting Vauxhall corsa for front ends. I am getting at least 3 calls a day pricing up the said parts. Work at a Vauxhall garage.

Costello 77 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I know it's a cliché . But you work so hard to try and make your life a bit better and that's what you get. Pissed up thoughtless morons knocking you back. I'm usually relaxed, but that makes my blood boil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzy85 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 My house ain't far from there. You don't get many passers by most times apart from the walkdown and walk up from the game. Right at the top of the road is quite secluded but still bloody brazen of the thieving scum bags. I would advise anyone on here not to park there again really because I can see this happening again.

Vic Flange Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Donny El is right, a friend of mine had her red Corsa with very much the same damage (almost identical) and then they came a week later and did the courtesy car. Morons. I hope they get caught but not by the Police and they are taught a lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgund Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 wtf, why would people steal a bumper? I don't get it. Hope they catch them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNChance Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Genuinely surprised that more cars weren't done in the Wadsley Lane area considering that Villa were there in abundance, smashed out of their faces and where loads of Wednsedayites park for a match day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the one I saw was a VXR one so they can cost a fair bit so they'll get a few quid from scrap man I would have thought. Proper tramps though, probably same people who are on dole saying there's no jobs and blame it on immigrants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgund Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I once borrowed someone's car (my step dad's) to go to the match and I parked behind what I thought was SUSANN MORTON'S ... turns out the sign says something else but I couldn't read it. Opposite the Crown. Anyway ... On the way back four lads were walking the opposite way with scarfs up over their faces and we thought it a bit odd and one of my mates said I bet they're up to no good nicking cars or summat. Two minutes later and we get back to the car, window has been smashed in and they had nicked the radio. That was a difficult phone call to make to the owner. Police didn't want to know either.

They took the bumpers headlights and popped the hood so I'm guessing some other bit's and bobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgund Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Should set a trap car .... with razor blades dipped in dog poo poo under the bonnet where you feel for the lever. Pongy stick style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I would have thought with all the traffic wardens that descend on matchday that thieves would be taking a risk in getting caught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtongent Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 immaterial whether this was Football related or not. It's a sign unfortunately of modern Britain, and completely unnecessary and unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgund Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 What would you do if that happened? I am assuming you can't drive the car with no bumpers or lights? Obviously it will drive but you wouldn't want to nor would it be legal. So would you have to call a breakdown service to tow it away? Can't imagine coming back to my car with bits missing like that.
