i had to ring her, just to ask if i could LOL at her!!!

after she slamed the phone down on me saturday, cus i put my foot in it (as i do a lot) when i mentioned......new brakes..only last week..cost ££££....burned out car or stripped 4 parts!
she was not happy bunny!!!

Phil

 

Ssshhh....we're not supposed to say anything about it yet, you're stealing her thunder Phil

 

i think we should all post with the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark in

 

Seems pretty disgusting that Rebecca's been put through 3 days of upset because of these parasites.

I gather it was parked outside her home. How come these parasites were able to tow it away from there...?

 

I think she said she had parked it in a private road?? Not sure if she lives in the road or not?

 

I will inform our traffic lads then, oh dear Bex! BUT WHAT A RESULT its not been nicked!

Ron

 

Could have been worse, so I am glad the car is ok!
Mossman

 

But how exactly was it towed away?? As we all know the only safe way to do this is with a flatbed, did they just lift the front wheels??

 

WELL THERE YOU GO! I'VE GONE AND DUN IT AGAIN!!!!!! WOT DID I TELL YOU!
AS DAD SAYS I SHOULD JOIN THE DIPLOMATIC CORE!!!!! LOL

sORRY AGAIN Rebecca
you tell us about it.

close this thread now!

Phil

Yeah well it's quiet around here at this time of year Matt

 

dont the private car clampers clap the car first for a couple of hours before towing it away? i am sure i read it somewhere that that's the normal procedure. you got to check that the car was "lifted" away and not tow into a ram and taken away, else they can damage the brakes/suspension.

 

They are suppose to clamp the car for an hour then take it away but ive found that in london they just take it away without giving you an hour (then they charge you more money to get your car back)[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Tony

 

You can ask me about it n'all......

Apparently the whole of Croydon is a tow away zone...even when parking on a single yellow on a bank holiday Monday [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Its a wierd feeling - feeling sick, worried, angry and full of adrenallin at the same time whilst walking to the police station to report it stolen, praying that its ONLY been towed . Then a bizarre combination of relief, joy, more adrenallin, anger and pure hatred of the tossers that towed my baby....

I was so incensed that at the pound I asked for a complete explanation of the towing procedure, method used and a total inspection of my car before paying and signing anything. fair play to them they lifted it onto a flatbed using straps, they even showed me photos all the stages. the only bits that touch the car is 3 rubber tipped bits of metal that locate on the rim of each wheel and 2 metal plates that take the wieght of the car under each tyre. At least the tossers has had enough practice over the years - got to pay for that tramlink somehow

Never will I misread those parking signs again...£160 says I don't....

Justin

 

Good news after all ... Bex' car back, BillBill back, ...

Ron ... would there be mitigating <sp?> circumstances if Bex went there and just punched one of them in the gob ? Just wondering

 

LOL @ Theo

Nah I think that would be ok

 

Years ago, I had my car towed in London, when I reported it to my local police station, they told me it had been towed. Dont they offer this service anymore?

Dan

 

Dan,

Yes they do still offer this service, when I rang the police they gave me a number to ring for Trace (?) which checks London-wide to see if your car has been towed. The police also rang to check when I reported the car and they had no record of it being towed away. But it could be that it only covers council car pounds etc and not private contractors ... which I agree is annoying because as a result of being told that it hadn't been towed I had assumed my car had therefore been stolen ... a reasonable conclusion to reach under the circumstances.

So warning to everybody else basically ... don't assume that if your car is gone in London that it has been nicked ... it may have been towed after all ... but tracking down who was responsible may be more difficult.
