Scumbag car theives

Dashik · 22 Jan 2006 at 12:10

Just what I needed one a sunday morning. 3 Cars on our drives (shared with the neighbour) Corsa, 206 and Mini Cooper. Guess which on the scumbag cartheif broke into!

Thats Right the Mini which is the oone I use to earn a living. So thats at least 2 day loss of earnings plus the glass excess etc and the damage to the car. Luckily they got nowt as the car is parked behind the corsa and the 206 (neighbours) is parked beside it. The drivers seat might need replaced if the glass does not come out of it and some bodywork repair is required.

Neighbour saw the scrote leaning in through the drivers window and chased him!!! Every police officer in Glenrothes turned up along with the dog!!! They recon they have a good idea who it is so maybe the no swearing will get his.

Meantime I have to cancel lessons with 2 new pupils and 1 pupil might not get to sit his test on Wednesday morning in the Mini in which he's trained!

So this monkeys cost me several hundred pounds and inconvienenced several people and put one guys test in jepardy all for nothing~!

You have fully comprensive car insurance as an instructer, put a claim in, get a hire car from them, nobody is inconvienced.

LOL Its not that simple. The glass on the mini is not available from stock apparently. The replacement car takes 2 days so here on Tuesday if necissary. Best I can hope for is glass replaced at dealers tommorow and car on road for tuesday. Guy with test on wednesday has lessons on Monday and tuesday. So he is inconvienienced and the best case I can hope for is £60 for the window excess and £50 for damage excess.

So tell me if you had £110 taken from your wallet for no good reson would you be so unconcerned?

Also It inconvienences me! I too am allowed to relax from time to time and just because I am a driving instructor does not make me super rich. I could live without losing £110 and the days work. Not to mention upsetting pupils by having to cancel lessons.

If I could get a replacement car with dual controls at this short notice I would. I have spoken to several places and before anyone mentions Arnold clark the dual control Hirecar is not available for ADI's by the day and the charges go through the roof if you put miles on it.

It not sympathy I was looking for I was just making a post to vent my anger at some mindless moron who has inconvieneced me and my pupils and cost me money and what did the muppet get for his efforts? NOTHING! Insurance company is good enough but they will not be able to get the hire car here before midday tommorow and thats just the way it is if inconsiderate theives damage your car on a sunday.

How would you guys like to be in my shoes? Bet you could think of better ways to spend your sundays! Not to mention all the aggravation etc.

What was on display? I dont get this. The car was parked Behind the corsa. the road is another 10 feet or so away. I took this

standing next to the lamppost shown in this

So how can it be that I left stuff on display?

Dashik · 22 Jan 2006 at 14:26

Anyway, Like you guys say, its just inconvienience and money at the end of the day. Not life or death, well not unless the moron comes back........

Other people have bigger problems and in the grand scheme of things this is just not that important.

Its still annoying to me and made me very angry.

Dashik · 22 Jan 2006 at 16:03

Gps mount. I take everything else out and into the house etc.

I know what you mean about getting worked up and I'm fine now, just angry at the time. Still hope the maggot walks infront of a bus!

could it of been an ex pupil?

All my pupils so far have been very happy so no. Not unless they travel 40 miles and randomly drive round Glenrothes looking for a New Mini with no idea of where I live.

Stealing the car was not really an option I dont think. The security on the engiines fairly good. Short of towing it I doubt he would have succeded. Although if they REALLY want it........

I think it just looked to good to pass by and apparently someone else had their car broken into not far away at around the same time

As an Update I heard earlier this week that the muppets been convicted, But apparently I have to write in to find out what happened to him !!!

Also I'm on Windscreen No3 after a Seagiull tried to take me out at 60 MPH a while back.

Heres what happens when a Seagull flys into the windscreen at 60MPH and accellerating......

Dashik · 11 Jan 2007 at 23:53

I can say I fair had a 'moment'......... :eek:

Glad it was me driving and not a pupil........

Windscreen number 3 reporting for Duty!

Oh! And if you see a Seagull with a limp.......

Dashik · 11 Jan 2007 at 23:57

Jesus looks like the gul was going for your head!

Bit OT but unless my eyes deceive me your tax disc is until 09/08 but i thought you could only buy a years worth at a time?

Its 09/06 and has been renewed since!!! lol, Seagul paid a visit on 04/09/06 iirc.

Scared the **** out of me when it hit! Hell of a bang!!!

Im pretty sure it looks like the seagul came out worse off I highly doubt it walked or flew away after that one , sorry for the mis fortune dude, oh and as for the pupil who had his test a few days after the break in did he pass out of curiousity or could you not get a replacement vehicle in time?

Pleased to say after running around like a maniac to sort it all out he passed first time

Surely this is an accident that could have been prevented with proper planning of the road ahead.

Remember there are no external factors - the driver is always to blame and the world of driving is a clear division between black and white

Damn!!! Pwnd
