    Which police team did you speak to? If you approach the Safer Neighbourhood Team (ask at your local station) they may be able to have a quiet word with the household responsible. Having a police officer let them know that you caught them at it might be enough to stop them targeting you again.

    They probably won't prosecute, but file a formal report and ask for a reference number, just in case it happens again.
    Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps....

    Buy a £50 jalopy, register it in the name and address of the person at that address and then park it on a double yellow line in town somewhere. Don't tax or insure it.

    Watch in delight as they try to prove to the bailiffs that it wasn't them guv, honest....

    I like this one.....

    Park it on a red route in london.....cost them a fortune when its towed and crushed...especially if it has not tax on it too.

    I should know!!

    One day some company will do what they say they will do and charge a fair charge.:T

    Not doing the opposite of that which they promise and charge you a fortune for the privileged. :(

    Or maybe not:mad:

    Wow, some really silly posts here. Fraudsters use middle-men to deliver their stolen goods. They advertise jobs online where a sucker must accept delivery of goods then redeliver them to another dress to get paid a small fee.
