SilverMachine Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Whilst driving up to North Wales late on Friday night, I was stopped by the 'boys in blue'. I thought I was surely going to see my license disappear (as I was pushing the rev counter!), but no. Phew! The nice officer (a dog handler who was pushing his Ford Focus to the max to catch up with me after about 4 miles), explained that car criminals are operating in and around the NW and Cheshire area. That's why he gave chase. He thought my car was stolen. They are stealing high performance cars and driving them to Holyhead, where they are put into containers and shipped abroad. So good people, you have been warned. Lock down your cars, make sure they're alarmed or hide them away safe, 'cos you might wake up in the morning to find your pride and joy gone!

SilverMachine Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Gone in 60 seconds eat ya heart out!!! You're not wrong there! I wonder if we'll see highlights on 'Police Camera Action'? Phew, lucky I have an NA. Mine too! They won't know what they've got until they're behind the wheel. If it's an NA they'll probably just smash it into a wall out of frustration eh!

Lock down your cars, make sure they're alarmed or hide them away safe, 'cos you might wake up in the morning to find your pride and joy gone! Gaz As if people did not already lock their cars, alarm them or tuck them away ? BTW, car criminals operate outside of the NW/ Cheshire area just in case your living in a bubble. Thanks for the public service announcement though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
