Thieves!

Has any1 ever had parts stolen from their cars overnight?
Couple of weeks ago i went to go to work only to find i had no sidelights, i just thought they were idiots and i got my spare set out the garage and fitted them. now when i started the truck today it suddenly started knocking as soon as i started it, a metallic knock. When i looked at it it seems someone has tried to steal my starter motor as there was not a single bolt in any of the brackets just the wires connected. Again i just went to the spare engine and took the bolts from it and fitted them thinking it would stop the knocking.
I was wrong, it looks like the starter motor has hit the flex plate and cracked it so the knocking is the protruding piece of plate hitting the bolt holding on the metal plate between the engine and gearbox.
So i now know what i'm going to spend my Sunday doing!

No its a plain annoyance. and i noticed on my way home today a surf has appeared for sale at the side of the road only a mile away so my neighbors seem to think maybe they needed some parts to get their surf ready for sale.

I know of that as the local police in Ramsey are always saying how 4x4s are being used in house burglaries and a lot of trailer thefts.

The sidelights, fair enough; but the starter? There are several cases (on here) of bolts coming out, that's more likely?

i had my toe nails stolen 2 weeks ago this time in 1466.

i said to myself "johann de' apetis" (that was my name back then) i said "johann de' apetis, you will get your revenge, even if it takes 200 years!!!"

so, to keep along story short, don't go starting any big fires for no reason you mad s.o.b!

yeeeeehhhaaaaaaaa!!!!!

That's what i thought originally, its not till people started asking me why all the bolts fell out at the same time that i started to question it. and i guess my free starter motor would have been cheaper than buying one seeing as its so easily accessible

They don't all fall out at the same time, one at a time, until the last one eventually goes.

Well I think you've got a bl00dy nerve.
You bugga off for weeks at a time, roll up spouting your jibber jabber, and you don't even have the decency to hide the terrible injuries the aliens ( the ones who must have abducted you) inflicted with their fist shaped probe....and don't ever forget logey is an anagram of
" Pervy old soak ".... Well it is in Martian...btw hello guvnor
