Would guess it's due to the poss of undesireable people reading the bbs, so if they know where the parts are then there is a high possibility that the car is in the same location, volia, nice little earner for a tea leaf.

Chelle, think that you would hear the little blue meanine should it be started at some ungodly hour of the morning (and I know some muppets who could agree with that statement )
Oh, and I will now return to my usual home

calm down ppl, i dont think many car theifs have time to waste looking on a BBS to see if someone has put down that they live in Reading so they can they go round Reading (only a few houses :roleyes: ) to see if they can nick the car.

I Live in Diezenhalde in Böblingen which is in Southern Germany so if anyone is in the neighbourhood and fancy popping in for a beer then feel free.

Jerome, there is a form that you can download from 192.com that instructs them to remove your name from their listings. They shouldn’t have it posted anyway if you are ex-directory.

I don't undestand this either Dell, its not as if there are only fifty Scoobs in the country for goodness sake. If your average crim wants to nick a scoob he doesn't need to log onto the BBS, find that I live in winchester, go to 192, find out my address, drive to winchester, find I have gone on a driving holiday so the blooming thing isnt there anyway.
If I was him I would go and sit by the side of the road in a layby, wait approximately three minutes till one comes past, follow it home and nick it.

yeah, cause car theives are all sat on the net usin 192 to work out which cars to steal
i also hear that some people use their cars in daylight where they can be seen!!!!!!! you'd think thieves would just use that option.

Mr Jiggery Poke,
I've since moved anyway and only use my current land line for internet access etc.
However an ex-girlfriend, who was also ex-directory, was also on 192/Scoot with her phone number listed. She was pretty miffed - the reason she was ex-directory was that she had been stalked before - twice! My point is, it should never have been listed in the first place. A bit late downloading a form when some loon has stabbed you to death...

I've just had a thought as well in answer to one of the messages. Although people don't want to let the nasty b.......s getting our cars, what happens when they ring you and you give them your address anyway!!
