[Mr Skrunts]

been away for a bit and just caught up with all your ideas-excellent!!


btw, on a different tack, a mate of mine was moving out of his flat so, along with a mates car, he hired a van. Unfortunately parking is a bit hard to come by round there so he ended up getting wheel clamped-at a staggering £165-each .Apparantly there were notices to this effect but the guys who did the clamping wouldnt entertain any leniency (oddly they both sported some facial injuries from an earlier dispute! ) so he paid the fines as he obviously needed the cars. With hindsight maybe he would have done the deflate the tyres and remove the clamp thing, but surely there is some sort of regulations to limit the amount these companies can charge/fine? I mean £40, even£60, but £165ffs!Think he'll be a bit more carefull where he parks in future....

How many wheels did they clamp.

[cruisetopoland]

Just a thought, if they've used this as airport parking, they may be some time....

Karma?

 

[Plomien]

Oh and if there is locking nuts on the wheels sethsmate and I found out how to remove them quite easily

just the one on each vehicle Skruntie-but, youre right, if youre going to do a thing you might as well go the whole way. 4x£165x2=not a bad return for 10 minutes work.Think they were missing a trick there

You lot slay me, you really do.

It's a thought!

Whenever you feel you're up to it, come on down 

[hoofing it]

I like this thread.

So the police are not interested as it is off road.  But yet if you park accross a a drive entrance that is illegal.  So they park accross thier own entrance (Not illegal) and block a car in which is not thiers.

Any damage on the car, could they prove it wasnt there when they left it. 

Lift it up and take off the whells and hold it to ransom, how could any one say anything as the car was on thier drive.

This is a good one.  I would have applied for the log book whilst they were on holiday and then accuse them of stealing what they assumed to be thiers as it was thought of as a gift.

A bannana up the the exhaust.   

A flat trype.

A lose Sump plug.........

Cat poo down the air vents.....

Change his number plates, or just remove the one nearest the house as they will try for a quick and quiet getaway.


I need to chill as this sort of thing obviously pi55es me off.

expanding foam up exhaust is better
on a serious note though I rented a workshop some time ago and a a-hole in the flats next to me kept blocking up the garage so I couldn't get cars in or out.
The police wern't intrested this went on for 4 days and cost me money in lost work so I left a note saying the car will be removed if left here again well car was still there so I paid for it to be uplifted by a proper hiab £80.
He came round the next day with police to say i'd stolen the car i imformed the sargent that it was at burgouynes safe and well the a-hole was told its not a police matter as car is not stolen as I had receipt to prove where it was.
The best bit is it cost him nearly £300 to get it back.

Still got all of your windows? :-?

Loving the idea of building a wall, but a fair amount of work and expense.
Likewise, jacking it up and moving it - but would that trigger an alarm that could be going off for days?

I'd definitely make it disappear.............

  order one or 2 of the one ton sand bags from the local builders and have them  placed at the rear of the car

Or get them to empty the contents of each bag at either end of the car

You could run a hose into the air vents for a couple of hours & if questioned say that it had rained heavily

I think I must be a little boring, but, I would scrub a nail/screw head or 2, quite suitably with a sander, before hammering it into a tyre or 2...

I would also get a suitable length of wire and a bulb connected to the altenator and suitable spot on the body, to drain and keep draining the battery  (Imagine their shock when they take it to the garage and discover the problem at hand...  Better still if they have replaced a battery)...  Done nicely, could keep a few mechanics guessing (Especially the Stealers)...

I would run some expanding foam up the exhaust, then drill a hole through it, so the engine starts and runs a low revs (would work very nicely with some black spray over the tail of the foam, to conceal it, same issue off to the mechanics, then they have to prove that you did it)...

Gaining access under the bonnet would open the door to all kinds of fun, such as polyfilla in the water and sand in the oil...

If you don't want to touch the car, a couple of large concrete bollards stuck behind it would give some you tube fun... especially if you set them 1 inch smaller than the width of the car apart...

Humiliate the b@st@rds as much as possible...  Thats my viewpoint...

And when the owner has a blowout on the motorway with his entire family inside the car, as well as all the other road users with their families at the time it all goes wrong....
