Title: Local thefts
Post by: bighed on 08 March 2009, 21:07:13

Just a heads up to anyone who lives in the shropshire area, There has been a spate of the older generation of vauxhalls been stolen locally in the bridgnorth area and surrounding villages. There has been several lately inc. 3 cavaliers from Highley  and my mates Carlton Gsi 3000 targeted last night with damage to the drivers door lock.    He thinks they got in but couldnt start due to imobiliser,

So just keep a closer eye on your pride and joy!!!!

Car theft used to be rife here, but not heard of anything recently.
Saying that, the little mothers are all presently in HMP holiday camps - and at our expense!

At one point there was a group of vigilantes operating in the neighbouring valley - it worked a treat and all crime virtually ceased. The local plod response was to warn the said group that THEY were acting illegally - welcome to Britain chaps!
The poor crims have rights .........
