stolen stuff

[zx_volcane]

I had an rear solid axle with diff, shafts and brakes still intact from a vitara in the front garden, spent about 3 months there and didnt move under a tarp, on one thursday evening i was putting some stuff in the bin and a guy who lives up the road who i had seen walking to work past the house often stopped and asked if i wanted to get rid of the "scrap" there.. i told him it was worthless as scrap and only good if you had a vitara (which i had had and was keeping for spares).

Mum came in friday morning after i had mentioned to her on the phone and noticed the axle had gone.. bearing in mind this was well over 90kg of axle and brakes with trailing arms..

house has CCTV.. so a quick look at it and it was gone when he had asked me.. and had been nicked 4 days prior and no-one had noticed.. funnierst thing is i was in on the evening it was nicked, awake when it was stolen and pottering around the house.. to top it all off it looked like the chucklebrothers were stealing it, they lifted it over a 4foot high wall, it nearly catapulted one guy over the wall as he held on to the obviously lighter end... all 2 foot away from a large, unlocked metal gate across the drive and 5 foot from the one on the side (sort of garden gate sized).. they took it to their car (which i recognised instantly as a megane scenic (old style one) with a NI numberplate, and drove it about 7 houses down.. i could literally throw a stone from my house into his back garden..


quick call to the police who promptly went round and recovered the axle, and had a chuckle because it had been stored upside down and end up with the axle breather leaking 3litres of EP90 diff/gearbox oil all over his slate flagstone kitchen floor in a rented house.. cost over a grand to get it replaced, and i got my axle back =D


Criminals are stupid..

That is a fairly win story / result right there, you couldn't make that stuff up!
