Earlier this year I bought myself a nice new 350z, with the full Nismo kit and limited edition "gunmetal" silver paint.
I had the car fitted with a thathcam cat 1 alarm and an RAC trackstar tracker system.
Further to this, whenever I left the car for longer than 6 hours, I took out two fuses and a relay making it impossible to start without them being replaced...
So, I go away for a weekend, leaving the car in my garage.
I come home and find that the garage is open and there's no car.
Phone trackstar and get them on the case... who say they cannot locate the tracker anywhere in the UK... nice.
Earlier this week, I get a letter from the police stating that my car had been found in belgium.
Both the VIN and engine number had been replaced with fakes.
The only thing that led to the car being discovered was when the new owner of my car went to get a "knocking noise" from the suspension checked over at a Nissan garage.
The strut was a Nismo strut and the serial number on it was tied to my car, which was flagged as stolen on their system.
Further checks found more serial numbers that matched mine, and the VIN and engine numbers did not belong to a valid Nissan.
Hurrah.. my car was found... with 12,000 more miles on it, with a new red paint job, and a nice cigarette burn in the passenger leather.
At the bottom of the letter, the police said they retrun the car to me, if I paid for shipping and storage costs from Belgium!!!
Obviously I turned this down.. lol
Anyway.. the real point of this thread is as follows:
I'm informed my car was stolen "by demand" by an organisation involved in stealing cars to order.
The police have recently arrested three people who were caught attempting to steal a Ferrari from a business carpark.
These three admitting stealing 3 other cars in the last six months from my area, including my car.
(my 350z, an Evo 8 and a merc)
Normally, I'd expect the theiving scum to end up behind bars for their "shopping" trip, but oh no...
Because although they admitted to the other 3 cars, there's no PROOF that they did do it, and because the three caught were all under 18, they were only prosecuted for the one attempted theft, but as minors...
In their trial, they "admitted" they were threatened by "immigrants" to steal the cars, otherwise they would be killed and their houses burned down.
When asked to identify the "immigrants" they said they couldn't, as they never met them.. they were just told to take the cars to a specified place, where someone would give them the cash for it.
So, what punishment did they get for thier crimes?
Jail time? don't be daft.
Suspended sentence? lol.. no.
They each got 4 hours community service... and that was that.
What I dont understand is.. the goverment keeps saying there's no respect anymore and hands out stupid things such as ASBO's... (which is a subject for another topic)
but when it comes to something serious like "organised crime" and "car theft", "young offenders" get nothing meaningful in the way of punishment.
Heck, if I was caught nicking my sister's sweets when I was a kid, my mum would hand out a punishment more severe that having to pick up litter on the side of a road for four hours..
Some "people" argue that people under the age of 18 don't really know what they're doing, and so shouldn't be held fully responsible for their actions (hence not being tried as an adult), but if you ask me, these little c*nts knew exactly what they were doing and should face the full punishment for doing so.
I don't care if they gave the police information about the "immigrants" they were working for, nor do I care if they were "forced" into doing it...
If someone threatens your family, then you go to the police.. simple as. (not that I believe they were threatended at all)
On top of that, we're not allowed to know the names of the offenders, yet they get to know my name, address, Date of Birth etc, as it's all given during the trial!
How rubbish is that?
This countries judicial system is becoming far to "PC" to be of any use and things in this country will NEVER get better until the government get off their soap boxes and actually try to address the problems they preach about.
I'm Gibraltarian by birth, and although that grants me a british nationality and the right to live hear in England, only the lack of finding a job that pays as much as I'm on now back home in Gibraltar is keeping me in the godforsaken, sh*theap of a country.
(Don't get me wrong.. this country USED to be great, but with all the "PC" crap and reluctance to do anything about the rising problems caused by the "youths to today", it is on a (not so) slow and steady downfall)
