    So I’m finding it hard to believe they stole it from the car where it was parked today. Could it have been stolen during the night and you wouldn’t notice it straight away? As soon as car was started this afternoon it sounded like a helicopter. It was fine this morning while driving to work. It’s only couple of km. I went through all our nest camera footage from last night and nothing on it.

    A work colleague wrote off his Honda Jazz a while back. The yard that took the car in gave him an absurd price for recovery and fed him a pack of lies to keep the car themselves. He wanted it delivered to me as he knew I knew the price of the cat on it, and clearly so did they

    Wasn't my battle to fight unfortunately. I'd have fought to get the car back if it was my car in that situation, seeing as I used to work as a scrapman back in the day

    It would sound like that as soon as it's gone .. these guys travel in 2 to 4 and have it done in 30 seconds or less, to someone walking by, it would look like changing a tyre

    If it was stole from the car park it was pretty brazen. Very open in front of building close to road with lots of footfall in broad daylight

    These tools do not care, sure when do you ever see a Garda patrol..... People are fixed on their phones.

    Nobody will get involved or ask questions and when there are 3 or 4 of them with weapons, tools they won't hesitate....

    As I said even if someone does see, they will think ah, they have a flat... These guys are quick

    If anyone can source a cat from a broken 07 jazz would appreciate it. Hard to justify full price one but the car has only 80k km on it and will run forever

    Whoa? :eek: What was happening at your neighbours?

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Why would they care if they were caught, either, they know f-all will happen to them.

    Our judges live on a different planet, they don't have to live next to or near the scum they let out onto our streets

    Life ain't always empty.

    Seen that. So interesting enough with ours the insurer is covering cost. No impact to no claims or no excess to be paid. Had to get theft form filled by guards and garage have paperwork to do but thankfully looks like will get the cost covered. We didn’t have no claims bonus protection. Kinda surprised but happy

    Aviva
    I suppose the one downside is if we renew with someone else will have to say we had a claim in last year

    More good news, not the brightest bunch....
    The suspect was carrying a list detailing where he had collected 400 catalytic converters worth up to €400,000, based on Garda valuations for stolen convertors.

    Gardaí from the Wicklow Detective Unit searched the van and found the haul after the driver was stopped based on a hunch of one of the detectives.

    The list the suspect was carrying contained the details of more than 20 people in the Republic who had supplied him with catalytic convertors.

    Up to €1,000 per cat average must not be a cat left on a Prius.
