What sort of lowlife does this sort of thing to disabled oap's. I rang the police who took particulars, and informed me they would ring me back with a crime number, which they have since done. I went to the local car spares shop to purchase replacements, and the documents that had to be produced to get the replacements made me feel as though I had committed the offence myself. and I live in the quiet part of Church, so they tell me. God help the rest.

Re: Scum Bags
As i said elsewhere even in quiet lil old Atherstone we had at least 6 vehicles scratched severly, my van, a rangerover a porche, even an old nail of a car, not just scratched but zig zagged over and over across the bonnet sides and boot, and over two nights, i alsogot my mirror pushed in and tyre let down. We don't get much crime but they really put some effort in to this.

Re: Scum Bags
Just to show how stupid the legislation is about producing documents to get new plates, you can buy them without showing ANY documents if you go online and get what are called 'show plates' these have not for road use written on the back, yes, the back, the bit that is clamped hard against the car so no-one can see it. That is how you can get slightly 'tweaked' spacing etc if you have a private plate (Cough).

Re: Scum Bags
I used to have a guide book of all the registration prefixes that had been used. My favourite was on 'S' reg the prefix 'PEN' was used. Just add a number 1 and somewhere driving around could be this registration.

Re: Scum Bags
I live in Clayton, and I am sick of finding screws and nails in my car tyres.
I think we should all make a stand against the scummy people who do all these crimes. We should report everysingle crime no matter how small. Out council tax is going up, we need to get our money's worth from the police, if we all report all crimes they will have to do something, the next time i see Greg Pope I will tackle him about a few things in this town !

Re: Scum Bags
The Police like to say crime is on its way down. I think not enough crime is reported, that is why figures are down. I agree MArk, we should report everything. Lets get the crime figures meaningfull and then see what the Police do about it.
I am sat here waiting for the Police to call me again about some vandelism we are having in my area. This is the third time in a week I have spoke to them.
