Hi all


Just to warn you, last night i parked my car in worlingham road (top end near crawthew grove) and someone broke into my car and took my ipod (it was hidden). someone else had all their tyres let down.


Just thought you should all know so that you can stay safe.

Not being funny, but how are we supposed to prevent someone letting all our tyres down, unless we have somewhere to park the car other than the street????


:-S

Try letting the air out of the tyres before you go to bed (don't forget to remove ALL valuables from the vehicle as well!).


When you wish to use the vehicle again, simply re-inflate the tyres to a safe and legal pressure (this may vary according to vehicle / tyre combination; see manufacturers instructions for full details) and drive away.


Happy motoring - toot toot!

Not being funny but i only put this thread up to encourage people to take extra vigilance when leaving / not leaving stuff in their cars. the comment re the tyres is neither helpful nor constructive. My car is an old jalopy, not worth breaking into, but broken into all the same. they took something of mine which has pictures of my young daughter on it. I don't know who has them now. And that as a mum is upsetting. You want to make fun of something, go find someone else.

I think the entire forum community are biting their tongues here wanting to tell you what a dummyhead you are for HIDING your VALUABLES in a JALOPY.


However, none of us want to see someones treasured possessions in the hands of Grimbleys, so empathy has won the day.


Put it down to a hard lesson learned nancysmum

nancysmum, Same happened to our MPV a couple of months ago up near the Library. Nothing to nick in the car (all compartments emptied out onto seats and floor) and locks had somehow been opened without breaking in. Quite a thoughtful thief I thought at the time.


Trouble is we've had a spate of car break-ins in the last couple of weeks where side windows have been smashed. Not much you can do except the obvious which will hopefully deter future thefts if gains are negligible.

sorry to hear about your incident. in a way i was pleased there was something to nick in mine, in case they decided to trash the car if there wasn't. After all, who's to say they wouldn't do that - cut seats, smash windows etc. I'm sad I've lost my i-pod, but at least I can still take the children out.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s
