Miserable B******s!!!!!!

Some filthy inbred w***er has decided to help himself to my Catalytic Converter.

I hope the skullf***er chokes on it.

Anybody know someone in the Tipton area that can come out and fit a replacement that wont cost the earth?

Oh no! Any cctv around where you are that may have captured the theft?

Bogbrush82 · 25th March 2021, 13:33

Unfortunately no. They talked about adding it after a spate of vandalisms but they caught those responsible before they voted on it, so it was never fitted.

Not that its any comfort but there's a bit on the BBC News website about the rise in Catalytic Converter thefts.

Sorry to hear of this, It's been rampart around the Bolton area & these lowlifes don't even wait until darkness to cut them off with a cordless power saw

They know PC Plod isn't going to be coming any time soon.

*UPDATE*

MIJ in Walsall have offered to replace it for £160 inc fitting, and the AA have offered to trailer it there for £110, so total cost £270

Still an expense I could have done without, but at least it won't bankrupt me.

Really sorry to hear this.

There has been a few theft's around my area, and my wife works in a supermarket where her car is left out of view for long periods. I'm expecting the phone call to say hers has been robbed any day now.

The body shop bod that is doing my Triumph has also had this issue. His was some early 80's Vauxhall, I think. He reckoned the gang(s) are Romanian. He caught them on CCTV but four men in black (could soon be a movie) in the black of night didn't provide the police with "evidence".

Unfortunalty these days if you dont have signed confessions by the perp's they dont seem to be interested, but, go 1 mph over the speed limit and you have points and a hefty fine.

Heaven forbid if you had a go at someone damaging your property!

U would just have to make sure the body "disappeared".
