Barsteward f*cking pikeys

[stefaclese]

So I get woken up today by the sound of knocking on my door for fooking ages, and knocking on neighbours doors. Then I hear my bins being moved so jump out of bed and out the front door to see wtf is going on, only to find some 'scrap metal recyclers', i.e. pikeys, loading one of my old gearboxes in to the back of their van

I immediately got the fat fcuk to put it back in to my garden, but only once they were gone did I notice they'd also pinched a pair of shocks/springs and an alloy wheel Immediately went on the warpath round my estate to see if I could find the twunts, but they'd cleared off. The idiots had left a note on the 400 bubble I've got laid up, scribbled in child-like hand writting giving their mobile phone number and the company.

Needless to say that 'M.R.S. Recycling' have been reported to the police. If they ever set foot down my street again I'm going to have to make sure I have my scaffold pole to hand, or my paintball marker locked and loaded.

I'm getting utterly sick of all these vultures trying to get free scrap metal off everyone, this certainly isn't the first time I've had these types knocking on my door asking about the car or metal, and I doubt its going to be the last time either.

These xylophones are getting more and more regular as well. I don't leave anything on show at the house front, even though i've never seen them in my estate.

[Null_Byte]

Get them round here quite a bit, always after the couple of donor cars I have out front.

"Take away your scrap mate?"

yeah sure, for £100 per car

"oh, erm.. well I'll just leave my card then in case"



Think they are a bit more nervous round this neck of the woods.

[stefaclese]

Well this bloke shat himself when I came storming out of my house, pissed off that I didn't notice the rest of the parts that had disappeared. At least the parts weren't worth much, but thats besides the point. Time to shift everything in to the back me thinks.

[mike88]

I sold a downpipe and decat on here a few weeks back, for £40..

Went outback into my secure backgarden, which has a 8ft wall and locked gate to wrap it up and the pikey c***s had nicked it, so i was £40 down.. The back way into my place is down a dirt track, and i'd seen them down here only a few days before when i told them "No you cant take it"..

"im calling about the scrap car"
"yes i can get rid of your scrap car"
etc etc

[mike88]

Im so tempted to call them

[syzsounds]

Had the same thing happen here.. nicked the gearbox from the Tickford 1/2 an hour after i'd took it out... I only nipped to the dhop to get some oil ..

Get them round here all the time after the tourer and anything they can grab ... They just look through Gardens all the time and grab whats there.

My ears are very tuned to the sound of a diesel engine now and so are my dawgs .

[Null_Byte]

and so are my dawgs .

Dya like dags?

[shen]

Get them often near us...Had the washing machine repaired a few month back...while the guy was just inside with a loaner spare having been outside the door for exactly 2 minutes a mucky faced 10 year old with his arms round it and a van with some old fella outside says...is this scrap


They did me a favour taking old turbo shed off to it's demise...I wasn't gonna try and drive it with no engine, working brakes, interior, glass roof etc haha
I asked them have you got a proper pick up to take it ... 'oh yeh wi av' replies the lovely irish accented bloke.

Turned up two days later with a ford escort van and a mate...cut the seatbelt off to use as a toe rope and off they went

[stefaclese]

Yeah, those kind of pikeys would put this lot to shame. They were just a bunch of local retards, not even a trace of an accent.

[rovermadman4825]

I hate scrap men their theiving tawt$, we always get rid of our own scrap at the end of the month always a nice little bonus but you get the pikey's tryin too rob it all the time

[stefaclese]

It would seem evil things are happening everywhere today, just look at this photo taken today of Satan and the Anti-Christ shaking hands over their latest deal

[Dave_ZS]

Got bunch of the feckers near us, was working on my mates audi 80 was halfway under it when they appeared and tried to take his old cooker away. so i crawl out from under it and tell them to F**k off, they crapped as they didnt expect it lol. But it gets worse, they now go about cuttin folks hedges and grass etc. taking business away from my (tax and insurance paying!)old man. He's well raged over it and has suggested chasing them with pitchforks and flaming sticks

But lots of stuff has "mysteriously" went missing from gardens in the area, goddamn gyppo's!

[MGJohn]

Had not realised this help yourself to metal scrap was so widespread in the former Green and Pleasant ... now more like grey and unpleasant.

They now trawl our residential locality regularly using a loud hailer for chrysakkes ... I'm all for anyone using their 'nouse' to earn a few quid but, this theft is getting out of hand.

Some weeks ago, 'they' entered my property and removed two gearboxes and three engines ... couple years ago, used bolt cutters to enter the family property and helped themselves to my twin axle braked trailer... huge thing ... I have several pictures of it. Neighbours nearby report the same ... lost all sorts of stuff. Lost count of it all now and reporting to the Police is simply a no result, unsatisfactory waste of time. They have much more important things to do ... such as putting a tick in a box.... Angry me? Too bleedin right!

I no longer bother reporting these theft and other incidents as our highly rewarded Police have much more important things to do ... like I said ...putting ticks in boxes... it is a waste of time. Neighbours feel the same .. a pointless waste of our time... So much for those 'improving' reported crime stats...

It did not used to be like that and there's precious little evidence of a return to the better days of the past.

To cap it all, there was an article in the local paper showing that the Police had "raided" an area to discover a load of stolen trailers etc. Maybe my one was there. When I spoke to the officer in charge of the incident it was not much help. I got the impression that he was not really interested... Probably more concerned with boosting up his final salary to enhance his pension, lump sum and early retirement ... No wonder our Pole/Council tax spirals ever upwards and so little to show for it...

It did not used to be like that.

Even if I provided photographic evidence of my stolen trailer he did not exactly show any enthusiasm to help ... I'd have been happy to view the trailers they had recovered during the raid just to see if my one was there ~ or not ~ he was simply not interested. I suspect my trailer was weighed in for scrap anyway soon after taking it away .... who knows ... few genuinely care nowadays in the former green and pleasant. Those we entrust to look after the nation's well being are highly rewarded in the land where failure is all too frequently over rewarded... I have been careful not to use the word ...earn.

It did not used to be like that.

[Richard_is]

I think theyre too scared to come into my neck of the woods

Hahaha

[Vard66]

I don't get them out here. But then, I do actually live pretty much in the woods, in a literal sense.

[vinny19791]

ah the same here too

My old man is in the engineering trade and thus has lots of scrap

We weigh in the ally, stainless and the decent mild.

We have a little 3'x3' box we fill with " logger mild scrap" for our friendly gippos to empty out by hand and take

they seem to keep the rest at bay. everyone knows them and dad said for the sake of £10 worth of scrap a month at best that would cost him that to load onto a truck and take its worth it to keep the rest at bay,

[Vard66]

lol, an offering to appease the Gyppos That Be.

[Din]

We get them turn up at work, transit pickup, drive in to the compound and start offloading the scrap metal skip... they are always instantly caught and hoofed off site...

On the other hand, a load of them managed to cut through the (bloody sturdy) secure fence, then through haulage container in the compound and proceeded to steal no less than 70 brand new premium tyres

What the hell they used for 70 tyres i dont know, im guessing a 7.5 tonne though.

[shen]

to beat all pikey capers...when my dad was still around some of the cheeky chappies broke into the oil tool company he worked for and took a few tonne of brand spanking new inconel steel....they'll have made a few quid off that

[flukey]

The back way into my place is down a dirt track,

More than we needed to know TBH.

Well much to my surprise the Police actually seem to be taking this seriously having just had an officer take a statement off me and telling me exactly what he plans on doing. A far cry from the attitude West Midlands Police took when some cobblers kicked my front door in my face back when I was living in Brum.

[rover400turbo]

Scrap metal price has gone through the roof

[fergy7197]

unfortunately the pikeys are not to be messed with.

theres a few that steal metal down my way, they stole a lot of stuff from my mates building company, sheets of old lead and copper from jobs that they were doing, police wouldnt do a thing about it, a "there was no evidence".

Took the law into there own hands gave the two boys that do it a complete hiding, later that week about 20 of them gave my best mate and his partner a thrashing to within a serious inch of their life.

best way to get them back... keep setting there wee transit tippers on fire...

[Punx0r]

Back in the day communities would get together to go and burn out their vans if they caused trouble. Unfortunately that doesn't happen anymore so there's little to keep them in check.

[fergy7197]

so true, but making sure they have to buy another van every so often gives us pleasure!

[stefaclese]

Well, these nobbers came down my street again today, but not stopping to thieve anything this time. Needless to say I was ready with a pen and paper to hand to get their numberplate written down and handed over to the police.

A pen and paper know one would dare mess with you

now if you said base ball bat with 6" nails in it that would of been better

[stefaclese]

Well if these feckers get caught, I might get some compensation out of them seeing as the stolen parts will have been long crushed/melted down by now. This seems to be some sort of shadey company with sign-written vans.

Obviously if nothing ends up happening I'm just going to have to be more offensive if I ever see them again.

This is stef (on the right) -



If you saw that coming at you with a baseball bat it would indeed be fatal, you'd die laughing.
