TOTAL R32 nightmare

[sutherlandm]

Bought some locking wheel nuts last week and went to fit them but foud tat someone had already tried to nick the wheels, causing over £400 worth of damage by breaking off the cover seal (under the door sill). I then fitted the wheel nuts thinking that would be it but they came back, tried again and kicked in the front wing (in frustration, I assume). Another £1000 damage and a totaly paranoid me. Car is now parked over half an hours walk away (they are obviously targeting the Golf) and I'm a nervous wreck.
If ANYONE knows of any lock up garages or secure areas in the Clifton area then I am after one URGENTLY! They may have given up now but I'm not willing to find out. Considered just selling it but I like it too much.
If anyone's been offered R32 wheels, I'd be keen to hear as I will immediately deck anyone who offers me any. Same if I see an older Golf with them.
Nightmare. [8(] [:^(]

clifton? as in near kearsley?

[sutherlandm]

Clidton, Bristol.

[S1MMA]

if you park near your house, can you not have CCTV pointing at it?

do you park in the road?

[sutherlandm]

I do, but it's not a fixed space.
All other cars seem to be fine.
A tricky one indeed.

[Guests]

get a mk2 [;)]

[Finallygotmygti]

Mate, I used to live at the bottom of Whiteladies Road myself. Whereabouts are you?

[Andy947]

The boys tell me its gonna be a few more weeks til i get my R32 wheels now [:x]

[S1MMA]

[Andy947]

[destructiv dave]

I was broken into on the Avenue and three times on Pembroke road. Clifton sucks for car crime [:x].

[sutherlandm]

FinallygotmyGti - I'm actually going to be a bi super cautious and just say "near the Suspension Bridge"
Andy - Deeply, deeply unfunny.
If any non R32 has R32 wheels it's an almost dead cert that they are nicked.
If I see anyone with them I will aks where they got them.
If the reply is not 100% legit, I will deck them.

[Andy947]

I was always paranoid as feck when i had the car in Glasgow, findin hand prints n stuff on it was not nice.

Mus be a Million times worse on a car worth a load more and especially as they have actually had a go [:N:]

[sutherlandm]

It was fine in London though - No trouble at all.
Weird thing is, my insurance dropped a lot when I moved here!

[N1CK]

chain a hardcore guarddog to your towing eye and
bingo effective security [;)]

[RSSGOLF]

Park the car there, and get a few mates over....park a van nearby, and hide in there...wait till they come to the car...grab em, beat the living day;ights outta them..best way...and mate from work did this witha couple of chavs that were damaging the cars on his street....they ain't had bother since!

[:x] [:x] [:x]

[sutherlandm]

The R32 doesn't have one (or maybe it's in the boot somewhere!).
You can't to anyone or fit a towbar (exhaust gets in the way!).
If anyone hears anything about Bristol area R32 wheel offers, let me know and I'm seriously mad about this.

[greg s]

Clifton's a nightmare for car crime. Nice cars lining every street and none
of the posh people or students would say anything if they saw someone
messing with a car. You see a broken window and fresh glass on the
street pretty much every morning.

[Finallygotmygti]

I'll definitely second that Greg S!!! I always used to walk home from a night out and see broken windows and stupid inane stuff like torn off wing mirrors - no point in it but f**k1ng irritating when you have to replace them just cos some dirty chav has been p****** about!

Understand you don't wanna publicise where your car is. My best advice is try the local council. They might have local garages for rent - about £30 a month, but worth it for the peace of mind!

[Guests]

so are you saying your wheels actually got stolen? [:s]

[sutherlandm]

Nope.
They TRIED twice.
First time they cracked and half ripped off the the seal cover (tried to jack it, failed - Too heavy?!!), then they tried again (by which time I had better locking nuts), got annoyed so kicked in the front wing.
Total damage - £1500+
Wheels still untouched bar one missing wheel nut cover.

[Guests]

that is insane! kicking a car in coz you cant knick something off it [:x]

wire the wheel up to a powerline.....kill the feckers

[Rahul]

and you wonder why i don't even bother parking my m3 on the road overnight anymore.

I thought you were in Canary Wharf anyway?
Best bet for you would be to park you car with the wheels turned into the kerb as well as 5 sets of lockers.

I know how you feel, i have had similar problems recently. Some little ****ers egged my car one night. Then about a week later they decided to dent the wing with a hammer. Also had all my badges nicked. I know what you mean, it does make you paranoid [8(]

I live in nailsea and theres a few round here for a couple of quid a week. (Ive looked into it)

Allthough its a fair trek from here to bristol...Just down the long ashton bypass [LOL]

[Rahul]

nailsea [:s]

i went there once, what a dive

[DuBDuDe]

bristol is a bit bad for car crime really i used to live on horfield green next to ats tyre place. Came out of my house once to find a guy about to jack my mk2 gti tryin to nick my bbs ra's up he turned round and went 'alright mate!' As if it was his car the cheeky kunt!

Got his head swiftly kicked in as it was nicely at kicking level down there by the front wheel. What a t**t!

[mat-mk3]

Bristol sucks ass really. Nailsea is a much better! TBH i hate Bristol [8(]

[Deako]

Car crime is my biggest hate of most senseless crimes. Pure jealousy from little TWOCer pricks!!!

My car doesnt spend a single night outside the garage now, and all my friends think im mad as i will not drive my car anywhere that has a public car park. Such as the cinema, shops etc.

If i go out with mates and someone has to drive, it certainly isnt me. Paranoid?? Yes, but its the fatherless childs that have made me this way!!

[richgit]

TWOCers are absolute scum. [:N:]

[prof]

a little baiting and some

Who the hell made you judge and jury.

[rick18t]

I would be inclined to leave, for the poor cars sake. [;)]

[Riley]

Paranoid?? Yes, but its the fatherless childs that have made me this way!!
[=D>]
its not nice to live with,but it does pay to be paranoid. [:V:]

dont let the feckers win,im gonna start taking the law into my own hands from now on,and i garentee something will happen soon [:x]

sad fact-it does pay to be a criminal,its just a case of how long for [:s]

get it garaged if you can but be sure its secure!
