Found my car like this, this morning, OCUK detectives? ;)

The seller claims to be breaking a 206 and in his other items the is a headlight so be careful they may come for them next ^^

I have actually considered that, looking at the colour of the car, and the condition of the wheel, they look just like mine. And they were listed this morning.

But why is his picture a day light one?!

that's an easy one

He'll struggle to get 206 headlights from a 306

I know, but if he got 306 wheels from a 206...

 

[bledd]

Probably using your nice new tyres and selling his old wheels with shot tyres on them.

I'm going to invent a wheel that can be remotely "armed", which will then burst itself when it detects speeds of 60 mph or over. Either that or the same, but packed with C4, and see if it can achieve orbit.

Wouldn't be very nice if the person who buys them had no idea they were stolen

 

[adam cool dude]

doesn't putting the car like that on bricks also ruin the discs?

I guess it's time to get some cyclones.

that was actually a time activated feature of the car

I quote "vibrating massage steering wheel is an option on all 306 models"

With scrap vale of alu the way it is, I bet some gypos have been round chancing people not to have locking wheel nuts.

You shouldn't be driving around on my wheels. Its up to you to make sure you don't buy stolen good, not the owner of said goods.

I'm sure I'm going to get flamed good style for that, so before everyone starts telling me why I should care about the "innocent" buyer, know this. I do not care. I will not be persuaded to care. Even if you thought it was a legitimate purchase. Even if its some little old dear who was bought it by a family member who thought they were buying legit. I just had all my wheels nicked*, we've all got our own problems. I'm sick of not being able to protect me and mine because of the ridiculous fear that some poor innocent might get hurt.

Time for all the libertarians to tell me my opinion is wrong. Flame on...

*Hypothetically, I'm not the OP

Discs are nearly dead anyways..

 

[Defcon5]

Havent heard of anyone stealing alloys for years. People will start sniffing glue again next!

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Definitely not what I expected this morning..
