Toyota engines are particularly sought after.

The main problem is stolen goods being mixed with legitimate parts and vehicles to the point that its nearly impossible to distinguish between them.

The Toyota in front is probably being driven by terrorists ...

From Darkar to Addis Ababa to Kabul and beyond militants and terrorists favourite vehicle is the Toyota. Considering Isis have probably had a fair few destoyed at this stage - demand is probably up

The favourite vehicle of the Taliban/Isis is the Toyota hilux.
You'd spot the Taliban a mile off.
The gardai seemingly have their suspicions about a few sleepers in this country.

Apparently the landcruiser has been making inroads in the last few years ...

Toyota Hilux pickups, an overseas model similar to the Toyota Tacoma, and Toyota Land Cruisers have become fixtures in videos of the ISIS campaign in Iraq, Syria and Libya, with their truck beds loaded with heavy weapons and cabs jammed with terrorists. The Iraqi Ambassador to the United States, Lukman Faily, told ABC News that in addition to re-purposing older trucks, his government believes ISIS has acquired “hundreds” of “brand new” Toyotas in recent years.

That said if they are being stripped for engines etc then they'll take what they can get I reckon

I wonder what the ratio of Land Cruisers to Hilux's is in Ireland?

Well considering they're moving away from the big guns on the hilux deck to a more stealthy civilian role it's not surprising.
For fear of alarming and running the thread off track. Them lads are everywhere now or at least the wannabes. I read a report of a refugee girl whose family were killed by isis walking down a street in Germany and she recognized an Isis commander walking down the same street and luckily reported him to the authorities.

If you were to believe the animal rights people, anyone that abuses animals it's only a very small step to people after that and considering that halal butchery of cattle/animals is carried out by all young men of that persuasion then it's not a big jump to facing death on a human being.

That's just a theory mods before I get banned. The same as military service prepares people too.

When people steal cars they may be planning a crime spree. That being the case I think the owners should take security of their vehicles more seriously. You would feel terrible if your stolen vehicle was involved in a hit and run or a tiger kidnapping or a burglary. If a third party is killed, grieving relatives can sometimes lash out at anyone or anything that was in anyway connected to the death of their loved one. Owners of these vehicles need to take more responsibility.

As for the thieves, I would suggest more imaginative punishments which cost less, reform more effectively.

Take torture for example, a thief may choose between pain and telling what they know. If they choose pain, it is their own choice. Criminals who get out feeling angry because of their punishment obviously were not battered into submission and such people need much longer periods of far more brutal reform with nothing resembling comfort and hard work for 18 hours a day as their only outlet.

I'm sorry what? Some asshat of society is going to steal a vehicle so it's my responsibility to ensure he doesn't do anything stupid otherwise I may be punished for it by the victims of said crime.

Lol.

If the person who stole your car knocks down my kid, a lot of thoughts would go through my mind, including things like why didn`t the owner use a wheel lock or keep his keys in a secure place. If you had a gun you would make sure nobody else could use it and the same should apply to your car.

And it wouldn't dawn on you to blame the guy that stole the car? Nah, just blame the car owner for not buying and using a wheel lock? Christ...

And what the fcuk is your kid doing walking around getting hit by stolen cars? Where's your responsibility in that?

if someone walked into your house and made themselves a nice roast dinner because your door wasn't deadbolted is that your fault?

Firearm owners are legally obliged to store their firearms securely.
There's no such obligation on vehicle owners.

I should point out that people who steal cars have been know to mount pavements in order get away from the Gardaí. How is it irresponsible to permit my child to walk on a footpath?

Note I did not say the criminal was not at fault. That goes without saying. Car owners should be more vigilant. In my original post I made the point that people who grieve have been known to blame anyone who may have contributed even indirectly to their loss. Car owners must therefore take responsibility for their cars.

Don't listen to this fella.

Neighbour's jeep got lifted 3 nights ago - he's a young lad who spent a fortune souping it up. Makes you wonder where all these vehicles are being hidden by these gangs given the number that have been stolen recently??

Wouldn’t a gps tracker be a wise investment for cruiser owners. They are not expensive either. Work with a SIM card.

Mod note......

Few points worth a mention.

Let's try be civil.
Let's try keep on topic.
Let's try no back seat moderation.
And finally
Let's try remain under our bridge. If we think of raising our head above the parapet we might, just might, fall foul of the anti trolling Mods!

No need to reply to this post on thread. I'll take such a reply as the actions of a bridge dweller.

Thanks. GC.

patsy_mccabe · 15-10-2018 7:13pm

A few years back, I had a catalytic convertor stolen from my Landcruiser in broad daylight at work. Two guys drove into the car park and parked up right beside it. One slipped out the passenger door and slid in underneath. Had if cut off in minutes. There was another guy in the office at the time and he saw them drving in, but didnt cop anything wrong. They did a load of them in the area.
I called the guards and knew the guard that came. He hounded me afterwards to get the CCTV foootage. They knew who was doing it but needed the evidence. I even know his name and address (if you could call it that

).
Fuming over it as it cost me a fortune and I don't think he served any time. Reckon he did over €100,000 damage on his crime spree.
There were other things going on too, but I was told these in confidence.

Paddy O'Gorman is very good. Shocking to hear how little they care about the court/prison process. Had to laugh at "I was driving past and two lads threw the chainsaws into my car".

No shame.

What about the three semi-automatic pistols posted to Ireland from the US last week?
The three people they were delivered to in Dublin have been released on bail too.

Despite there being a mandatory minimun sentance of 5 years.

Local farmer (Michael) did a deal for tractor tyres for sale on done deal some years ago, 4 lads went together to buy four sets, head off to collect, neighbour says he'll tag along. Michael says hop in the back, kids spilt milk on the seat's.
Neighbour sits on a few fence stakes in the back of van. Were to meet at local mart, seller pulls alongside, hops into van and pulls a knife, give me the cash he shouts, neighbour in the back cues the 8 ball with a stake. BOOM, my man staggers of to car and is driven away in a hurry. Did it cure him, probably not, did he deserve it, definitely.

Anyone any strange callers to yard - was stopped to check cattle at field at the side of the road was only a minute from I drove down the lane and I seen a car pull out of the end of the lane . Thought it was odd as they wouldn’t have had time to knock on door of house or get out of car. Which made me think it was someone up to no good.Didn’t get close enough to get fullreg by the time I got up behind them but it was an old red Nissan Amilra 1900s Monaghan reg . Anyone else experience anything similar recently?
