fishingtex Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Just to let anyone know who lives in the Wakefield area that the Lousy Theiving Scum are about. They have nicked my catalytic converter off my Ford Ranger in the night. They used a pipe cutter so absolutely no noise from right under my bedroom window(which was open). Had a new one fitted the same day and now welded some rods onto it, to hopefully deter the use of a pipe cutter (but not a reciprocating saw) which is the other tool they use. They just don't care as long as they can weigh it in for £50 or £60. Scrap yards should stop accepting them. Just to let you all know keep an eye on your truck or van.

Carman06 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 They have done lots of this in Lincolnshire. Mate had his taken then about two months after police sent him a letter warning him of the activity as his car was one of popular targets. Bit late me thinks.

daveboy Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 They took a full exhaust system off a merc sprinter down the road from me. The owner managed to get a second hand one off the bay.(He couldn't see the irony in that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
