Just had a visit

At 17.15 hrs a guy rings the doorbell and asks if we need any painting odd jobs or soffits doing , but all the time looking at the bay , then he asks if its for sale ,what is it worth and how much do we want for it . in cash. Apparently his uncle told him to look out for anything that might be worth buying , are we sure we dont want to sell it ,
Now am i being paranoid or can we expect to get it stolen very soon ?

 

Worlds worse thief walks up and gives you full view of his face.

Did he go to any other houses in the street, might be worth asking some neighbours...

 

Paranoid. I don't think he'd have bothered knocking at your door if he was planning on pinching it - more likely to have a snoop round in the dark to check it out.

 

......a few sleepless nights coming up I think!. .... Did he leave a business card
( worlds worst thief) .....

 

When asked the name of his company he mumbled and said the lad would around later with a card , i think he was knocking to see if we were in

 

I think your bus is safe, he'll take one look at your oil leak and decide to nick someone else's.

 

Undo all the wheel nuts and stick them in your pocket. If they go to move it you will either hear it or they will have a problem. Feel free to ignore my advice as i've been to the pub.

 

I think as a general rule..,if someone knocks and is showing interest, but your not going to sell..

Say things like... Sorry cant really sell, engines on the way out. Front beams twisted due to previous impact, loads of random spiel. Chassis rotten etc.

 

If your really worried about it getting stolen you could do the same as I've done to my bus to stop that being taken.

Peel of the gear position sticker from the ashtray, no way they're driving it without that, they'll never get it in gear.

 

Soffits, guttering and preasure washing is the new tarmac if you get my drift. Lovely romany travellers.
Like the wheelnut idea

 

Oh man. Take the battery out....I don't trust anyone after having my Devon moonraker stolen in the day whilst at work....

 

Its a bay, they won't get it in gear with the sticker

 

Yea sleep in the van also have a baseball bat as well to smash them in the .......

 

They must snoop about on these sites as well..... Never safe

 

Block it in with a lesser vehicle!!!

 

You need a para sat in your van

 

whip an obvious wheel off..

.if your at all concerned..

 

Reminds me of my neighbour who had his cd player stolen out of his car too many times,he attached steel wire onto treble fishing hooks and secured them under the dash behind the player and waited,guess what he caught in the morning? the cops came and just yanked his arm free,pretty brutal but never had a problem again! Thats Africa!
