  • well aslong as she got away before the missus woke up: i wouldnt mind her taking the car, Although she would be due a good spankin, next time the missus was away

I know that feeling that you described coz I had things stolen from me in the past and the first thing that always comes to my mind is anger and how to get back at the person!

I hope that things with the car are back to normal as soon as possible. There is one thing that has helped me in these situations, that might or might not be helpful to you, is Mindfulness :)

Anymore happening on this mate?

Noat at this time, the investigating officer was on shift last night so I emailed him with the details and said to let me know if he needs anything or to give me a call, I believe that he may have been busy on shift and didnt get any office time as I havent heard anything at all, but will let you guys know as and when!

Just as an update to this. I had a quick chat with the DC investigating my case. or should I say the supervising DC who is overlooking my case...

Anyway he got a few more details, and advised me the garage owner admitted telling the driver to take my car for a "test run" which is inconcievable and pointless as it wasnt necessary nor warranted, and occured after the part was apparently ordered. I haved passed on the details of the decent autospark who fixed the issue, so the police can contact them in essence for a "independant assessment / report" to identify whether a test drive was necessary, in which case hopefully action will be taken against both parties :D

That is why I am getting a dashcam!

Basically the Manager has admitted to being an accessory to twoc.

Trust me it's worth it, 2 accidents and also the theft of my car, that 25 quid has now saved me / insurance well over 5k. 2.5 for each accident, a wheel refurb, police support and evidence. Well and truly worth it!!!

Indeed he has Clive, we will have to see where it goes from here on!

Anyone involved in an accident where Police are in attendance may often find now that the attending Officer will ask if there is any camera footage.

We do down here now.

Any bets the garage now has a mandatory check for dash cams before they take cars now :-P

It's a rarity up here for them to be told there is a cam, the concept is new and somewhat Confusing to a lot of people!

As for the garage, I would be surprised if they care...

Video is not coming up.

Yeah as there's an active police investigation, I removed it in order to prevent any contamination of the process lol.

As soon as it's done all videos, naming and shaming etc will be completed

Haha, drop me a pm with your Gmail email address if you have one, I might just give you a key. Sadly Clives not the one working on this case, if he was I would have had a new mondeo on the drive in compensation and the perp would have been beheaded for treason to Blue oval lol

Maybe u should hire Clive as a P.I I'm sure he would ;)

Haha, oh yes although sad thing is he's overworked and underpaid lol

So what he would still be over worked as a P.I but paid better :P

I wouldn't say I'm underpaid but the hours can be excessive.

You would be the first police officer I have ever heard say that Clive lol, although to you, you are a jack of all trades and master or trainer of most lol.

There you go James he's happy being paid the way he is so it shouldn't be to dear for you to hire him as your P.I ;)
