Malik Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Its not a nice feeling when someone does that to your belongings. I hope it sorts out and insurance pays out. I know sometimes they can be funny and try and get out of paying through the tiniest of technicalities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Police weren't interested at all; they asked me if I'd spoken to the neighboring offices regarding CCTV, which I had, so apparently the lines of inquiry were exhausted. Like BBQ idea, except they only bothered to put one side on bricks the other was left on two jacks (one of which went through the passenger floor). I put the four bricks they used back into the gaps on the edge of the car park... If there is a bright side I suppose I now have 2 spare jacks. And a hole in the floor you can pee through so you don't have to get out and do it at the roadside in full view of other delicate persons Hint : See other thread somewhere........

Penelope Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Lots of that has happend on the Thames this year. The usual suspects. Came home last year to find this, should have been a 115hp Optimax outboard sitting there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old rooster Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Lots of that has happend on the Thames this year. The usual suspects. Stole my Ifor trailer to cart the engine away on, geezer caught locally with my trailer a year later, let off without prosecution. Don't think it was the "usual suspects" TBH but by not prosecuting the scrote caught with the trailer a valuable lead to the engine theft could have been lost? CPS are a waste of space!!!!

Imperfection Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 The flip side of the coin though is a while back someone nicked the wheel trims from my Transit (its a top spec model) and because i work for a company which invented the word pedantic i informed the Police to get a crime reference number to cover my a$$. Two hours later i had SOCO outside my house dusting the van for prints (im not kidding either!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame you, this is the third quote I got from them and it doesn't make sense until you see the other sections before the Grand Total (it's 3 pages long). Tyres: Wheels: etc..

shaun4860 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Right...I sort of get it now The tyres cost £1386.86 inc Vat Wheels cost £3462.96 inc Vat Thats £1212.45 a corner!!!! Labour cost £714 inc Vat, how can they charge £714 for fitting 4 wheels and tyres??? Ah....there was the rear window as well.......still seems pricey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Parts are always charged out at MRP or Retail Prices although you can bet that wasn't what they actually paid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcantwell Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I got a call last night on my way home only to be told my car had its window put through. They went through the car, opening glove box, ash tray, even folding down the back seat to get into the boot. However, my lighter on the dash, aftermarket speakers lying on the back seat and £400 shooting jacket were all still there, absolutely nothing taken.

BRNDL Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 My first car was a Fiat Punto. Bog basic 1.2 £1800 job. Came home one evening to find my door lock smashed in and my £15.00 ebay stereo missing. Nothing else was taken... Tragic, £80.00 worth of damage for £15.00 old sony cd unit.

Alex C Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Think yourself lucky they only smashed your window. When i had my shogun done over on my drive they punched both front door locks through the doors to get in for the locking wheel nut key, pulled all the kids car seats and buggies out and left them in the pouring rain while turning the car upside down to find the key. They then stole 3 wheels and the locking wheel nuts, bolts etc, but left one on which then had to be cut off. Final bill was nearly a grand on new kids stuff as i refused to put my two babies in car seats that had been fingered by theiving scum and were soaked through, the bill for the car came to over £4000. Funny how my trucks seem to get done over every year either the week before or after Appleby fair !! Coincidence ? I think not.

Seamus Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 The car also had damage to the passenger floor, trim was all cracked and they put a hole in it so that's where the additional costs have come from. The car is a company car, but it's also my company so as far as I'm concerned it's my car; fortunately it is all going through insurance else I would be kicking up about the price of the wheels etc. Currently it's still sat at the Audi dealer waiting for the insurance to approve the work "can take up to 5 days". Since this happened last week we have fitted CCTV in the office and over the car park; it's already taken a video of two blokes looking through all the office windows, including ours.
