Angry Beware scooby car theif gang Dewsbury , Batley , Heckmondwike area's

Dewsbury , Batley , Heckmondwike area's

Yesterday i had my scooby broken into.
I went out to check on the car and behold there was thieving toe rag in the car . I went up to him to beat the crap out of him , as i confronted him he pulled a rambo style knife and went towards me saying "come on".

Backed off and called the Police!

The theif ran down the road into a waiting similar to vauxhall corsa or mini mpv style dark/black car. There were two other occupants sat in the car.

Description the guy in my car i saw : asian, medium build, wearing glasses, black medium parted hair and dark hood top.

Took the cops 1hr 15mins to turn up

The police officer attending the scene said just 1 hour later another scooby had been stolen in the heckmondwike area.

I have Thatcham Cat immobaliser setup and Tracker but they still attempted to steal the car. The theif would have got no where with the car but im surpirsed he still targeted it.

My under dash console has been trashed, including the ignition system

Please take necessary precautions for your scooby.

Keep your eyes peeled and be always ready to take numperplates down of any suspicious cars.

These suckers need to be nailed and sent to jail

A baseball bat is longer than a knife so just get yourself one of them. I am so glad I live somewhere where car crime is zero. I feel sorry for you guys with your immobilises, cat 1s, disklocks, gear lever locks, security lights, steel posts etc

Nice

At least the cops turned up: when my youngest was assaulted and threatened with a knife, I had to go to the local main plod station and insist on seeing an inspector before I could get someone to see us.

So much for "tough on knife crime"

Yea at least the police turned up, Ive had me car messed with for the last 3 weekends. Had my spotlights kicked in first weekend, someone tried to remove my spoiler 2nd weekend, one of the tail lights broken 3rd weekend.

I was told who done the car over by many people, told the police and Im still waiting for them to get of their a$$. Its not like I live in a city, I stay in a small town. Not a lot of crime happens here.

I understand But the law seems protect the criminals more than us and they know this. We all should be allowed to protect our family and property without fear of prosecution.

Someone here suggested using deep heat spray as it was ment to be worst in the eyes than pepper spray and the police wont pick up on it if they search your car

Glad you are ok, and worrying these people are in the general population.


While the law is not really in favour of shooting thieves, Does anyone know if you can get 'anti theft' or Indelable ink/paint in the paint ball pellets.

Most know how much these hurt without the correct protection (The muzzle velocity of paintball markers can approach about 201 mph). and if you could 'stain' the thief then all the more chance of catching them.

Fully auto can fire around 20 shots a second, enough to make most do a runner knife or no knife.

Is this a legal way to defend your property?

Section 5 firearm, up to seven years in prison in theory. Realistically, a fine if you haven't used it, a suspended sentence if you use it to defend yourself and can prove that's what you were doing. But you could still get six months or more.

house .

From the right ppl, a mate of mine has a tazer, I keep meaning to ask how and where he got it from, police asps and knuckle dusters are nice and handy, as are big heavy maglite torches, and the latter is legal to carry in a car...
