Gold pepperpots stolen west berks

[matt97]

This sums up my year, went out to my car this morning to find my wheels stolen and car sat on the floor, they used my tools and jack to do so! Best to say I'm angry to say the least. They are sprayed Oro Metallic gold which is a ferrari colour. Set of 4 pepperpots with 4 very good tyres.

Ffs mate. You will probably see these (repainted) locally, anyone else around your way with an old skool ford?
Seems a bit funny for someone to steal these for profit???
Hope you find them, I will keep an eye out.

There's quite a few classic fords in the are but i know alot of the people. They aren't worth a great deal so i don't know why they would take them, especially when there's a mint rs1600i and a caged mk2 escort in garages near mine.
Thanks for your support,
Matt

Doubt they've even been nicked for scrap with metal value dropping so low. Very strange.

Maybe for the tyres? Were they a rare size or decent brand?

[minisprint]

Thought this was a thing of the past! Some low life's about

[pugmyster]

Its getting to a point now where you cant have nothing decent.
Why don't these people who pinch stuff either for profit or so they can have them for there own use..go out and find a job make ya own money and buy ya own stuff.
Nothing but a bunch of theiving little ass wipes.

Hope you get the wheels back bud.

There's some right nasty scum out there! Was the car ok besides having its wheels nicked obviously?

[Mercdan68]

This pi$$es me right off, I like that car, and you always come across on here to be a decent bloke, I hope the thieving scum realise your car is known and do the decent thing,,,if you find out who they are do it the right way mate the days of giving a thief a spanking are over for us law abiding people, keep yer chin up mate regards Danny

[foldy]

Scumbags.
Sorry to hear this dude, I thought people knicking wheels off cars was a thing of the past.
Hope the car's alright, and I hope you find the wheels.

[matt97]

Thanks for the support guys, the wheels are easy to get hold of and the tyres weren't a rare brand either. Personally i think it's been done to cause damage and inconvenience as they left everything else. The car isn't great, the roof is very badly scratched as is the bonnet. They've bent the top of the drivers door out and chipped the paint off while trying to get in to the car,although they failed to get in. They've damaged a sill by sitting in on my spare wheels. They snapped many sockets trying to get them off and took the wheel bolts as well.
This kind of sums up my year, hope 2016 is better

Regards,
Matt

They are so cheap i do not understand the theft of these - all that for what you could get for £100 secondhand . I can only think they are destined for another Ford so it wont be hard to see who has them locally .

Then there is the ' people who like old fords as well ' if you get what i mean , they get through plenty of wheels .

[choaky]

Shows the low level of criminal your dealing with if they can't break into a mk2 fiesta! My old mk3 escort cabriolet got broken into not whilst I owned it but with its new owner and the useless tw@ts had to smash a window to get in, they then set about trashing the steering column surrounds to try and break the steering lock before admitting defeat.

[matt97]

Thanks for the comments, they are so easy to get hold of which is the worrying thing, why mine?

[skylinedave]

On a positive note if you have anymoney there is a set of 7 spoke rs wheels 14" for a fiesta on ebay , lovely wheels .

[eternaloptimist]

That's a real sickener Matt. Just boils my p1ss when some lowlife mucks around with a car that's had some love applied to it.

[matt97]

I think i'm going to have to get all the bodywork sorted first then look for some wheels, no hope of catching them . It definitely is sickening especially watching a neighbour's CCTV of them walking away with your property.

[dodgerover]

Any images from the CCTV you could post up?

[slammage]

Gutting mate, you and your dad seemed top guys when I came to buy bits of you! just doesn't make sense when you can buy them for like £20 a set like we did of you! more annoying they damaged your car, it was/is mint! hope you get it back on the road, and invest in some locking wheel nuts as well Matt. all the best - Gav

Didn't know people still done this curse word not woth weighing in so must be going on a car to order . .

I have sone ford wheels in the barn if to need some . . Few different types . 07828718849

[matt97]

Thanks for the comments, the quality of the cctv i have isn't great so not worth posting . Never bothered with locking wheel bolts as i didn't expect a set of wheels this common to be stolen, but i will be now. Thanks for the post sparkyt i have a set of steel wheels but two are holding part of the car up at the moment!
Going to be an expensive start to the year
