The next time you *really* need a set of sill skirts for a focus ST, please don't just help yourselves to mine, I quite liked them.

There are several ways to legitimately purchase them, you could for instance:

1) Get a fecking job and BUY them yourselves.
2) Ask your sugar daddy to BUY you a set.
3) Get your alcoholic, drugged up, prostitute of a mother to turn a few more tricks to BUY a set.
4) Sell some vital organs (obviously wouldn't get much for the brain), I'd gladly help with removing any other flesh that may be of value.. I've several rusty spoons here.

Alternatively, you could have just made yourself a set out of some egg cartons and double sided cellotape. "Would look jeffin' minters on your saxo butt".

I'd like to thank you however for not only boiling my piss to the extent that my house now looks like a turkish bath (and I have no need to have the central heating on - win!), but allowing me to take a nice morning off work while I wait for the boys in blue to turn up to fill in some useless paperwork.

If you need any other parts let me know and I'll just leave the keys in it, you can take what you want.. just wait until I'm well and truly asleep and try not to wake up the nippers, there's a good tt.

Cheers,
Moo

It could happen anywhere, when I lived in Penarth marina some mongrel tried to steal my radio, failed and in the process damaged the dash, radio and broke a window. Police did not come out, but they did send me information for victims of a crime!

Can you imagine what would have happened if you would have caught the perpetrator(s) nicking your side skirts and battered them?

Hope that it gets sorted soon.

just look out for the clio with the wrong colour side skirts going around, then take them back.

Seriously though listen to my story about robbing gits.

about 6 years ago on a wednesday the free adds came out, i saw a corsa GSi for sale, went to view and bought it that day. took it home and spent all night putting my pioneer tv in there, 2 brand new limited edition sony xplod 12's and a xplod amp, changed all the door speakers for infinities etc, put my uni bag in the boot ready for uni the nect dayand my cd bag holding my entire collection. next day comes (thursday) I have a pleasurable drive to uni. uni finishes and have to get 2 new front tyres as old ones were bald. popped into garage for 2 new tyres. whilst one of the tyres is removed i see that one of the rims is marked with display model only. 2 new tyres on and home i go to finish of cleaning the car and the install.

night time comes and i go for a quick lap around bridgend then home to bed for uni on fri morning. 1 am comes and my dad breaks down my door shouting "someones pusshing your car off the garden".i live in a bungalow with a long front garden roughly 50m long with a gate to the drive, my bedroom is at the front of the house and mi allways park the car outside my window, so the barstewards were very quiet, they ay have had a key as i suspisciously only had one key with the car. anyway i legged it out of the house in my undies i hear the car bouncing off the limiter up the street, i grab my old mans keys to the volvo and cop slide over the bonnet to begin chase, listening out of the window of the car i could hear the cars limiter through the streets but i never located where it was and never found it.ploice were contacted but nothing. all my cds,all my uni work and my discertaion, i was gutted. however i did have the face for my pioneer so that was no good to the twunts.

the next day my firend working in bridgend halfords phones to say someone has come into the shop and stolen the face off their pioneer display model that happened to be the same model as mine. great, they didn't even get them on camera.

A week later I spotted a 5 door corsa parked in mc-arthur glen, bridgend with grey GSi bumpers which co-incidentally had a bumper crack exactly where i did. Police were called and a littel dunraven window salesman returns to the car to ask what was happening. he was arrested and let go after providing names of the guys he bought the bumpers off. nothing ever happened to these names though.

a week after this i spooted a black renault clio with my 17" millie miglias (they were unusal wheels i had never seen them around this neck of the woods before so i had a big hunch they were mine), at the time i was passenger giving a mate a driving lesson. i ended up demanding that we follow the clio from rest bay all the way to cardiff up the a48, whilst i was on the phone to the police giving running comentary and locations. fair play to the boys in blue they sent 4 traffic cars (mercs) to catch me and the theiving bar steward. they pulled him over in the pissing down rain to enquire where he had the wheels from, unable to provide a reasonable excuse he was arrested. i was asked to identify the wheels but from only owning them 1 day i didnt know the specific curb marks etc, only that i had brand new tyres on there. co-incidentaly the tyres had been changed and i explained that one wheel will be marked with "display model only" but the tyres need to be removed to see this. the clio was impounded in a unit in bridgend and the boy was arrested. the next day i went to identify the wheels they had all 3 off the car but one was stuck on with a locking wheel nut which the lad had lost the key for. they began to remove the tyres one by one and not one of them branded this "display model" writing. i began to panic thinking i have spoilt this lads day by falsley accusing him of theft etc. Eventually a tool was brought in and the last wheel was removed, the tyre was removed and there was "DISPLAY MODEL" get in, i was so chuffed, i had the wheels back and sold them to re-coop some of £3500 i had lost. (insurance wouldn't pay out as i did not declare the exspensive stereo in the car even though my policy stated stereo value to the sum of 1k.)

as you have read i lost it all in a matter of 2 days but slowly found bits of the car. I have since found out who stole the car and where it was dismanlted but there is nothing i can do now and the thief is a well known car thief so revenge does not suit.

morral of the stroy is to stick with it and you may eventually find the buggers who did it or even find the skirts.

the thing that boils my piss is, i provided the police with the people carrying or using stolen goods, they provided names of the people they bought them off etc. yet no-one is prosecuted, no-one is in court or fined etc even though it was given to them on a plate.

If I was to walk down the street and trip over in a drunken stoopa and break a wing mirror off a car, i guarantee i would be arrested, fined for drunken behaviour and have to pay for my damage. yet these theives continue with not as much as a slap on the wrist. If i had taken the law into my own hands and removed my bumpers from the lads car, i bet i would have been arrested and the thief would be scott free.

I know of a few bad characters and it seems the more they do wrong and the more hassle they cause to the police the more leniant they are with them.

I think the worse thing about it for me is I'd resigned myself to the fact they would never be caught before even calling the police.

Without even thinking about it, it's just become "normal" now, and somehow expected.

Very sad state of affairs.

I'm going to have to stop typing now as I can feel my blood pressure rising just thinking about the little bds.

on a positive note, i find that when i'm actually pulled by the fuzz (for various minor indiscretions) they're actually ok with me and i get off with a slapped wrist because im actually genuinely nice and always apologetic.. i never mean to batently flaunt the rules, a good example being driving down dumballs road i overtook a white A40 late at night, probably doing about 45mph, it tured out to be an unmarked cop i think they expect these days to get so much abuse thrown at them that when i was actually humble and held my hands up they were sound enough. Anyone actually agree?

btw im talking about being pulled over maybe 3 times in 7 years...

p.s. i had the 'spats' taken off my Rover 216GTI regularly so i sympatise whole hartedly.. rolleyes

I had a letter like that when my £25k M3 was nicked afetr being given a fraudulant bankers draft. Three years on and despite the bank checking it was legit first, we are still out of pocket and the way things are now, there's no chance of the B~*@*%$D Royal Bank of Scotland paying up
