Default New theft trend

Just had a call from a guy who works at another building i cover about a few things, he then mentions the police have just been, I ask why(as you do) he says there had been a theft from the car park in broad day light at 3.15pm,
They cut the cat off the car(Rav 4) in the car park, A white Transit is seen pulling up on the cameras and stops for a minute or so then drives away, a few minutes later it returns and does the same thing, once the van had gone there is no signs of anyone under the car or it moving,
The police have said its getting more and more common as there after them to weigh them in.

Im shocked they had the ***** to sit in a car park on camera and just cut it off,
Imagine if the owner had come back and drove off(well wish they had).

I had forseen this crime occouring as soon as cats were introduced in the early 90's. Hence every scoob I have owned has had them removed straight away!

Good job too if you've lowered your car!

I read about this happening in the US a couple of weeks back and thought it was bulls**t. Too much effort and risk for too little gain.
Looks like I was wrong....

Far from it: a friend had the cats stolen off 20 MX-5s in a compound a couple of weeks ago! Theyre worth £100(ish) each if OEM.....
