....some thieving toe-rags decided to empty the petrol out of my car. Did they syphon it? did they heck. They drilled two neat holes in the tank and spilled more on the road than they must have got away with. So for a few measly quids-worth of petrol I have to shell out nearly £450 for a new petrol tank.I am not happy. |

Long gone are the days when you could leave your house or car unlocked. |

The nerve they have Bob!! We had a spate of them drilling out boot locks to steal stuff a while ago. These convenient rechargeable drills are convenient for thieves too. |

Some years ago now we had gone up to mil for the weekend the car was parked in the lay-by outside very small little town we had all gone to bed when the police knocked on the door someone had tried to steal our car but someone walking their dog had disturbed them and phoned the police but they had broken the power steering they were found |

They must have known exactly what they were doing. Two neat holes drilled in the tank, one to drain the petrol and the other to let air in. Talking to a PCSO this morning she says that car related crime in the area is out of control She was on her way to deliver letters to families in the tower blocks who have known problem kids, threatening them with court proceedings to evict them if they don't rein their kids in. I have, so far, been burgled (whilst in bed asleep), had a case of wine nicked from round the side where the delivery man left it, had the car broken into, had the Land Rover vandalised, as well as the latest incident. As soon as the grandson has finished his apprenticeship we are out of London like a shot. |

In 1985 some little rat cut my fuel line and emptied the tank. |

Many moons ago, in the days when Sunday meant a trip to the scrapyard and you spent the rest of the weekend under the heap you were nursing along at the time, my neighbours son in law was changing heaps and couldn't fathom out how to syphon the fuel from his tank to put in the next one ( as you did then). |
