I apologise if people think I have been too quick to pull the race card, and it was just an observation and in no way suggesting anything else. Maybe if you were in my position you would pick up on it a lot more subconciously. Over the years I have been on the receiveing end of racial abuse many times and maybe I just notice things and pick up on things that aren't actually even there. :D P.S I don't watch BB but what i saw of it, I don't think there was any racial malice intended from anybody. That was blown out of all proportion and does more harm than good. |

There is a fair chance the Police wont let you know even if they were criminal.
|
Sorry I personally HATE political correctness but I have to agree with shustir here.. Ethnic observations are fine in context, i.e. you might describe a black man as a "black man" which i dont see a problem with *BUT* adding "They were all driven by asians" to the end of the post isnt exactly in context.. if the original post had said it was stolen by a gang of asian guys then yes it would be fair to add it..
|
Could be possible the cars were driven by genuine traders who could have bought them outright from the docks or something.....!! If they were stolen you'd think uk number plates would have been used rather than trade plates..
Trade plates have to be registered so pretty dumb to use them - unless the trade plates are fakes... Raf |

Well thats is then they were asian, case closed guilty as charged :confused:
Are you suggesting car crime is commited only by asian people ? If the drivers were white would your statement have ended with 'all being driven by white people' If you ever get mugged and the only eye witnesses fail to give a full description in fear of being branded racist, sexist and ageist, I feel for you!

There's always some that have to resort to low life, foul mouthed insults. If you can't add anything sensible to the debate like the adults then please keep out :brickwall .

Davey, what SHOULD have been added to the end of the thread to describe the drivers then? Or should there have been no description at all? Cos that would really help! With regards to what the original thread said... It says nothing about car jacking, or witnesses, so how the hell would anyone know that to start with? The guy made a simple observation!! Sheeeeeeeeeesh! Good post, good info there Swiss ;) |
Do I have to explain myself again.
The way it read to me in the first place, was that the drivers were described as being asian at the end of the statement. This was like it was the final piece of evidence that would indicate there was foul play involved. If this was not the context it was written in then like I have already said apologies. Your comparison of a person describing their attacker is hardly an exact parallell, and is not relevant to this situation. Nowhere in the original post did it give a description of the drivers. |
I have not asked you to explain yourself. And my comparison is VERY relevant to the situation.
A description of the driver is pretty hard as very little is visible, except upper body and a face, which I would assume is where the "asian" comment came from. "A" sentance has to finish a post, in this case it was a comment of the appearance of the driver and his apparent race. Im pretty sure if he was white, black or chinese the applicable phrase would have been used. Its YOU who suggest that the appearance of the driver is either not relevant or NON PC. Personally if somoene spotted someone in my stolen car, I would be keen to know anything and everything. You said yourself you tend to read too much into things, I think this may be a good example of that. I am being as quick to pull the ANTI race card here as you were to pull the race card, so I would be grateful if YOU could respect MY opinon as others accet yours. Finally while talkin about relevance to the thread, what the hell has BB staged PR stunt got to do with a stolen car, and someone being accused of being racist. There was no mention of it in the post ;) Chill out mate, we have both had our say, lets leave it there eh. |
No worries mate, am now fully chilled out. I'm glad we had a civilised exchange as opposed to some of the derogatory name calling and insults you get on here.:) :thumb:
The Big Brother comment came up in post 29. |
And now back to the thread.....
Any news on the cars? |
Were they all fresh imports?
A well planned and thought out job if you ask me. Audacity in daylight. Great work Paul Palmer though Steve |
lol sorry about that Ollie... or should I say "im sorry Ollie" *scratches head :D
Yeah, any news on the car? Turned up, confirmed right one, or another lost and gone forever ? |
glad we got back to the point of this thread, about the cars :rolleyes:

It could be taken with some kind of mallace as if your making a sterotypical judgement that being Asian means its more likely that they have stolen the cars... If the original poster had said "Subaru stolen by an Asian male in slough" then the statement would have been in context and there wouldnt be an issue, obviously the PC brigade would still have an issue lol :lol1: |
davey,
this thread is about a stolen scoob. Perpetuating the whole bloody race/no race question is both annoying and irrelevant, even if you are trying to get your point across. It dosent matter where the fact about the occupants of all three cars were asian, was placed in the sentence.:mad: So any news ? |

Great work Paul Palmer though Steve There's always the possibility that these particular cars weren't stolen or that the people driving them didn't know but their driving made me suspicious because they put the scoob up front in the end. |

Oh dear..... no one saw them stolen mate so how could the first poster state a race or description? :wonder: Annnnnyway. Back on topic now, some dirty scum (no offence to scum out there) has stolen the car stated at the top of the post. Have the police not come back to anyone to confirm the registrant of the trade plates? Is there a way to find out, then contact the official owners of the trade plates. If the cars were stolen, the plates prob were too :( |
It was my sister that called the Police because I was driving and she hasn't heard anything back.

:( guess thats the sort of thing they dont tell you. Would be interesting to hear though. |
It would have been nice to know though don't you think :rolleyes: We followed these cars for I guess 40 miles telling the police what was happening just in case it was the car they were looking for and nothing :(

On the other side of it, I got caught up in a road rage incident a couple of years back, guy throwing his car in front of mine, and screeching to a halt on the A406 North Circ!! 5 mins on the phone to the police, the assured assistance was on the way as we turned up onto the M11, to get onto what I felt was a better road to be on.... Just as the police phoned back the car turned off. My other half spoke to the police, and as she spoke with them, the unmarked car dispatched to us drew along side, asked if we were ok, and pulled ahead. Guess sometimes there is time to follow up, other times, its just not practical... OR.... the whole incident is a lot bigger than we all know. |

Lem6 Edit your post ASAP please we've just got this back on track after a few comments regarding the Asians bit. On subject, I doubt we'll ever hear if the cars were the ones in question or just innocent traders going about their business and just happen to be in the area of a stolen car. After all, rally blue Imprezas are hardly common so there can only have one in the area:lol1: so it must be the stolen one. Thanks for all the assistance that we have given the fuzz in any case, guys & girls. That was my objective when I started this post. AND to try and help some poor sod get his car back. David APi |

OK, but not helpful in this context. On this particular thread please keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself. As I said, we have just got it back on track after potentially offending Asian scoobynetters with a clumsy statement.

come to areas near me then make that statement.

Hopefully someone will have more info and help a fellow scooby owner get his pride and joy back, or at least have closure on this. |
ok "dude" murph.
|
OK, even I am getting bored of all this clap trap now.
Back to the point, I dont think we'll ever know whether the cars in question were legit or not. If indeed it was the stolen Impreza I do hope the police did catch up with them and the book is thrown at them very hard and fast! |
