Default Uxbridge/Slough Area - take care

I've just had a group of dodgy looking types scoping out my scooby. They were in a Red BMW 525 reg R875OWT. This car isn't insured according to ASKMID but the reg fits the description so it may be on original plates.

Just an update to say I've reported the behaviour to Thames Valley Police who say they are going to make enquires.

They called back about 10 minutes later to say Scoobies are currently popular with the "travelling community" and they have put a tag on my car too in case it gets nicked.

Hope car is ok mate. I think this thread is a very good idea & an excellent way of helping fellow scooby owners stay extra vigilant & safe for those who live in a close radius of where the incident happened.

If we were all as careful & informed others it will go some way towards making the lives of thieving scumbags harder

Cheers for the heads up mate.

I work in Colnbrook and only last week they held up the whole of the Poyle Road with there Caravans and Transits!! So there in the area at the mo.

I know last year around the back end of last year there was a A4 and S4 (both red) acting weird round this way. The A4 pulled up outside my work and waited there for some time before the security guard walked out and they pulled off. My car was parking in the visiting bays at the time!!

Will keep an eye out even more mate. Thanks.

Steve

Pikeys always coming back to Colnbrook - little toe-rags.

Can't understand why they keep getting away with no tax, no licence, no insurance, etc and breaking into the fields.

When everyone made a huge fuss in Stow-on-The-Wold where they have the horse fairs in May and October and virtually close the town with their anti-social behaviour., Glos plod upped the ante big time - even brought in TVP horses.

But the real larf was the field got very muddy so loads of vehicles needed towing out including cars, 4x4s, pick-ups and caravans that the police had identified as nicked.

Rather than go in mob handed and dirty their shiney shoes, they let the pikeys tow themselves out and start their journies home before inviting several other police forces who had been trying to catch some of their local pikeys red handed do the pulls in various lay-bys across the county so Glos plods not only kept their shoes clean, they didn't even have to do the paperwork!!
