What the feck?

[M1VT]

Ok,so when i bought my golf,i made a "deal" with the prev owner that i;d give him the Weber 32/34 carb back that was on the car,said it;d be a few weeks etc.Past few days he's been a total cunt with me demanding it back.So tonight i get a text of an unknown number"hi mate,you still got that carb,i wanna buy it off you.I'm next 2 your car now"
I was like...ok WTF?
Look outside and there he is(prev owner) looking in the car,and he then rips the VW badge off my grill,and opens my bonnet.I was outside like a shot" can i help you?"
"Where the fuck's my weber?"
"In the unlocked boot,have fun under the bonnet?"
"Ye,i want it now"

Gave it him,and he checked every last little nut screw and bolt.I'm stood there with a wheel brace in one hand,and a hammer in the other.

Now,he's been banned for dangerouse driving,and is known to the coppers. Can i effectivley get him in the shit for attempted theft?
His prints are all over my pass door handle(dont work,never has) and my bonnet.

[Chr15]

Drop him right in it!

No lower than face height!

[M1VT]

if i find ANYTHIGN wrong with the car in the morning,the coppers are getting a call.
He was very nearly sent down for his behaviour when he was done for his driving,so i doubt they'll be leanient with him

[LaurenceVTR]

do him, sounds like a complete cunt.

[Chr15]

Where did that dent in the driver's door appear from ;)

[Jim-Bob]

Should of just given him the carb before you took the car off him really tbh would of settled the problem really.

Theft probably not as he can say you made an agreement, not that theres any evidence though.

But vandalism maybe for ripping the badge off the grille if it did any damage and will be costly to fix?

[AnthonyVTR]

I wouldn't report him (sounds sorted now?), seems like the kind of person you don;t want to get involved with.

I was doing him a favour by giving it back,they retail for £200+ new,and at least £100 used. I do have a fair few dents actually ;)

If i find anything wrong with th car tmorrow i'll get onto the rozzerz

i was thinking this,he's a gobby little shite.i could hear his missus(driver of the car he was in) having a right go at him for opening my bonnet and trying to get into the car

bless

[Jim-Bob]

Well really he shouldn't of sold you it with the carb if he wanted to keep it he should of removed everything he wanted to keep before he sold it to save confusion, but those dents are crying out to be reported ;)

James

[RichM]

Yeah as said, sounds like a right knob. Why didn't he remove it before selling?

[M1VT]

true
i need a new passenger wing as it is...hmmm full re-spray did you say? :P

well,he better not come near me again or i'll let the rozzers know he's been driving or something ;)

[Mieran]

Tell the cops he made your bonnet rust and you demand money for a respray.

[Karl]

Can see it going down well.
some blokes kicked off my wingmirror mr policeman.

........are you serious sir? your bonnet is rusted to shit, why would you care about that.

[M1VT]

LOL
i'm known by my rusty onnet,local traffic cops have seen me around in it,so that wont work sadly

[-GG-]

i would leave it atm, unless anything further comes up, then drop him in it ;) sounds like a total wanker tho :ponder:

[JamesR]

Drop him in it, wank*r by the sounds of it, the cheek of some people tbh

[Bickerton]

Attempted theft isn't a crime

[M1VT]

off out to check the car now,and re-fit the badge to the grill. and its pissing with rain
Lovely

[M1VT]

new grill+badge fitted
car looks fine,engine is fine etc
thank fuck

[RobVT]

why didnt you drop him there and then anyone who touches my car or breaks anything on my car would of been dropped regardless

[Keefo]

+1 ..........

If someone pulled off anything or hit my car right in front of me, they would fall like a sack of spuds!!

he sounds like a freaking retard... take the badge off his car lol

[goodall3518]

Attempted theft isn't a crime

Of course it is, how ridiculous.



If someone breaks into a house and tries to steal something but gets caught, its called attemped theft. You go to jail. :S

[Chr15]

You go to jail. :S

lol
...

[goodall3518]

imo if anythings damaged/ missing then report it.

Dont cause trouble for the sake of it, it'll come back to you in a less than pleasant way :)

[Mr_X]

Cops dont give a flying fuck about car vandalism

Once a week,yes

[deanjay]

[Stissy]

glad to hear that :y:

No no, that's breaking and entering with a further charge of attempted burglary

[Ashleyp]

bickertons right ;)

and you shouldnt buy things of people you dont know with deals like that... so much crap happens, scams etc etc

imo just pay cash for car and off you go with peace of mind

[Nottslad]

I wouldnt bother reporting anything. If someone smashes your window and nicks your headunit the police wont even bother attending they just give you a crime number for your insurance. You might have a chance with a criminal damage claim but the police wont be very interested and to be honest by the sounds of the guy it would be more trouble than its worth.

[M1VT]

^^
i agree
leaving it be for now,but if i see him near the car again,i'll give the rozzerz a call.

[djadzvtr]

thats shit that mate........
i wunt ov been happy like....cant imagine what id do if some one did that to my car????

[Prickle]

Should of given him it before you took the car home.... or he should of took it off before hand. Sad really.

i saked him why he didnt swap them over before hand
"been to busy mate"..he's been banned for 5 months,car was off the road for 6 months....ahh well
sorted nao

[goodall3518]

No no, that's breaking and entering with a further charge of attempted burglary

So the further charge is STILL attempted burglary, i.e. attempted theft from a home.

Thought attempted theft wasnt a crime ? ;)

Also if you have a record of ccar thefts, you can be arrested on suspicion of attempted car theft.

You dont have to actually steal anything, but thats if the guy had previous records... He could still be arrested for criminal damage to M1VT's car and attempted theft...

Merely basing it upon when someone was trying to break into one of my mates taxis they couldn't be charged as they didnt break into it "There is no such chargable offence as attempted theft sir, shoulda let em break into it"

If he broke into the car, i.e. broke open the bonnet and/or boot, and was stopped and arrested before actually stealing anything then he would be arressted for attempted theft, cos he attempted to steal but got arrested ;)

[VTS_16v_Boy]

If he's know to the fuzz for this kinda behavour whos to say he wouldnt come back if the fuzz tried to talk it over with him. It all sounds abit dodgy I think Id simply put it down to experience and keep a close eye on the car for the next few weeks

[Bickerton]

Bonnet was unlocked tho, dunno if that similar to the laws with unlocked house doors?

At the very least tho you can get him done for vandalism/criminal damage with the ripping off of the badge?

[goodall3518]

Definite charges for criminal damages.
