Someone tried to steal my car

Sam Vimes

So I drove to the pub last night and left my car in the car park overnight. I got back to it today to find the lock tumbler hanging out so it looks like someone tried to steal it.

What the would be thieves didn't know is that the whole locking mechanism on the driver's side is broken so they broke off the tumbler only to find that the door still wouldn't open

Luckily they gave up then and didn't try the passenger side which would have worked. I was going to get the mechanism fixed a few months ago but it would've been expensive and I use the remote anyway so I didn't bother. I'm glad I didn't now!

Anyway, just thought I'd share this mildly satisfying story with AH. Anyone got any similar stories?

I once lost the remote for the TV but found it behind the couch.

A guy once tried to steal my girlfriend, so after we broke a bit down the line I went and had a thing with his sister:cool:

Someone tried to steal my car once, they went to all the trouble of breaking in but the battery was dead! I think they even tried to push start it cos it was out if the driveway sitting in the middle of the road

A guy from my area was in town a few months back. He's a junky scumbag. In anycase, he was present at a stabbing of an innocent man in my estate (The poor man's health has been destroyed ever since). He went into town later that day, high off his head and tried to start on some random innocents walking past him. Words were exchanged and he pulled a knife on them, but ended up stabbing himself in the hand by accident and had to go out to hospital, where he was caught.

He probably spent ages looking for it all over the house but still wouldn't walk over to the tv to change channel

I find if you get duct tape and tape the remote to your thigh , you wont lose it again.It can be an interesting conversation topic when in the local.

Someone tried to steal my car once, but the battery was dead. They tried to push start it out onto the middle of the road, but it still wouldn't start for them. So they just burned it instead.

I sold this Makea chordless powerdrill in the local paper and then six months later I received the very same one back as a Christmas present from my brother-in-law, minus the powerpack:)

Few fellas tried to rob me mates car a few years ago. Broke the door when they ripped the top of it out to unlock the car.
Fooking eegits never even tried the door because it wasn't even locked.
They went to the same fellas other car. Broke door and hot wired the car and all. Sadly they didn't think that one through eiter. Mate had the battery and spark plugs in his garage. Ah well.

I left me bike outside the pub one night and it got robbed. Brought the replacement bike with me then a few months later and got caught drink driving.

Broke into a car last night in a pub car park.
I hid in the back, when the guy came to collect it.
I'm in his house now watching him masturbate.

In the 60's my mam and dad were dating and went out for the day, dad left his car at mams and they went off in mams car. At the end of the day dad was driving them back to mams when he saw he car coming towards him with a toerag driving it.

Dad did a uturn and followed the scumbag, when they were stopped at the lights dad grabbed the wheel brace and ordered the scumbag out of his car and had him nicked!
