Default Stolen centre caps

The owner of 50 shades was parked in Stratford yesterday and when he got back to his car someone had stolen the four centre caps off his 940!

What on earth is wrong with people?

We once had ours nicked off our 245 GLT while on holiday in Norway, of all places, back in '95. We certainly didn't expect it there or then. Although I still have faith in folk generally, it is the small minority - usually those of whom you would least expect it - that let you down who sorely test it.

Regards, John.

Not providing an excuse but there's been a massive increase in burglaries in my area, which is usually pretty quiet crime-wise. Friend's lad works in the local Co-Op and they're losing tons of stock to shoplifting. Queues out the door when the food bank is open. With the upcoming increase in energy and petrol prices, plus the NI changes, it's only going to get worse.

That style, best bit was they weren't even in that good of a condition so I belive it was someone being a tw*t for a laugh.

Wasn't that the basis of Jeremy Beadles career?
