Ah,Mr Murphy - how can I help you?

[Lou Girardin]

Well,the prick owes me for the work anyway - I'm judge jury and executioner.No word or visit from the cops yet - any bets if they will,or if they do how many days...or weeks for a response?

They'll be right along.
As soon as everybody stops speeding.

Gee, now that was the least likely response I thought we would have got from Lou - q'ell surprise and all that, so unlike him, who would have thought, one out of the blue, could have knocked me over with a feather, well I never, the unpredictability of the man scares me

[marty]

here's a question lou - how many MOT officers were there on the beat in the early 90's - pre-merger

[Motu]

Well,the cops ring me a couple of weeks ago and say the cars been found and I can pick it up from Southern Districts Towing the next day after finger printing.So I dicked around with Southern Districts for over a week till they said - no,we don't have the vehicle.Yesterday I got incontact with the cop who reported it recovered,he rings SDT while I'm on the phone - no,they didn't pick it up - it has been restolen !!.I give up,they can keep the bloody thing,by the time I get it back I will never be able to recover the costs,better to just write off what it owes me now.

That's one popular car - you musta fixed it too good and they all want it and it must drive reliably.

[F5 Dave]

Yeah that’s a problem, they never have much control over recovered goods, nobody seems to know the full story & seemingly the crooks think it is good sport to resteal them from the police grounds, presumably to remove the evidence.

Moral of the story is get your gear back asap I suppose?

It's probably being stolen by members of the same ( large eastern family) I really feel for you Motu there's some really mongrel @#%$%'s about your neighbourhood, I think you could do with having some technology, such as, an electrified fence, a security camera and a large hungry dog!

[Motu]

It's Southern Districs Towing who are responsable for it going a second time - the cops find it then give SDT a ring for a pick up,but after 8hrs when they come to pick it up...it's gone - duh!

and their not hard to nick when someone has already jacked the column.

Or so I found out when my cage got stolen daily for the three weeks it took to get the barrel repaired. See other threads.

But as you mention it when my old xe lost its key all by itself it took under 2 mins, two screw drivers and a butter knife to break into and start, in the dark.
