damn chavs

[davemk1gti]

Ive just come back to work to find that all the fuel lines underneath the works vans have been cut to get the fuel out of the tanks!!!!!

stupid pillocks didnt even bother checking to see if the fuel caps were locked (which they werent).

total to date about £150 in fuel (4 vans) and a day lost fixing new pipes in.......two pipes on my bosses 'new' car too.

suffice to say I am a rather peed off today.....

police gave me a crime number. no doubt Ill get a leaflet in the post to help me come to terms with being a 'victim' of crime.

That sounds beyond the realms of "chav" intelligence tbh.

They'd just have bricked your windows and spat on the seats

[popuptoaster]

plastic fuel lines and expensive petrol makes this more and more common these days.

Course the scrotes are to blame, but demonstrates part of the problem of the over high pricing of this daily used fuel.

bet ya well pee'd off.

[Dave Dorson]

I'd say it's more likely to be theiving oik traveller types than it is "chavs"

Either way, it's bloody infuriating

Checking takes too long (and prints). It's easier for them just to slash the pipes

Personally I'd check if there's any local 'caravan trails', but proof's impossible.

Slarm slam all your work vans, they wont be able to get underneath then!

deffo travellers, not chavs

I had some nicked out the Pop recently

Mr bro had his fuel pipes cut

outside the hospital (emergency - parked in carpark nearest hosptial)

oh and got a parking ticket

[kevfromwales]

neighbour came home last night, suzuki alto - hoofed passenger door skin in and smashed the drivers dropglass - nothing nicked (stock radio cassette) - just mindless twunts
grrrrr! - kev
ps - she's the neighbour that doesn't somplain about my cars in the street, so I taped up he window and swept the glass out, if it'd been the 'other' neighbour she could have gone and whistled!

Be glad it wasn't mk2 golfs (or any other cars with plastic tanks!), they'd have just stuck a screwdriver or knife in & you'd be forking out for a whole tank! traveller barstewards!!

[reanimation]

Sounds like something that could happen to any of us vans being easy target of course as they are likely to be full, hi capacity, and high. Anaother good reason for lowering on the private cars then, and never 'filling to top'.

[mrrx2u]

Time to rig up some fake fuel lines filled with petrol and sugar i reckon.

Drain your pez tank every night and refill it with Fanta, Mr Muscle, cat pi$$ or whatevAr. That will teach 'em!

Take the cans of pez into the house to stop anyone nicking it like.

I've had petrol nicked from my Volvo. Didn't have a locking cap and someone just syphoned it.

I never have more than a tenner in my tank anyway... not as a security measure, just because I'm skint.

[impmann]

I had the lines done on my Golf GTi - thankfully they didn't do the tank! Still cost an arm to sort, plus they didn't get a drop cos of the anti-syphon valve in the tank.

The garage reckon it *is* the chavs for their little Scoot-ays. Twunts.

[Jackman]

A few years ago with the petrol crisis someone near me got his tank drilled to steal the petrol. Was a metal tank! Damn traveller chavs.

[JonnySierra]

I reckon I've lost £500-£700 worth of petrol over the last three years. Flap ripped open or off completely, locking caps smashed off.

Suffolk Constabulary couldn't give a toss, and Suffolk County Council and the local borough council won't let residents put up CCTV.

I even know who it is that usually steals it, but it's hard to prove ownership of a liquid you can purchase anywhere. Of course most times the cops could fingerprint my car, but noooo, it's not the best use of resources.

Well, losing hundreds of quids worth of fuel is a waste of my f***ing resources.

That is all. I feel a bit better now. ;D

[Edit: Quick tip for putting some scum off nicking your fuel - fit an alarm, with a switch behind the filler flap - when they lever it open, alarm goes off. Worked on my old Sapphire! I wanted to fit a taser-like thing but figuresd sparks and fuel weren't the best option. Funniest option, maybe!]

Easy way to find out what local bastards did it...

flick a match at them, its not like they ever wash their clothes is it :-)
