Stealing F*****s

Woke up this morning before work to find the fuel light on was like cant be right filled up last night 55 litres look in the mirror filler cap open and cap hanging. Off they have pulled the cap open and stole my ******* fuel called the police and guess what nothing they can do about it. And now my filler cap wont close properly if i catch them again oh will i show them a few things in life and show them they will have to suck every thing with a straw for the rest of there lives

That's not good.

If you filled up last night they proberbly followed you home from the petrol station, might be worth telling the filling station.

One thing I really don't like about the ZS is the way the fuel gauge reads whilst the ignition is off - if someone is looking for a car to nick from its like having a neon sign on the roof.

You've been followed mate .... When the police said, "Nothing they can do", they should have taken a report so that you could claim for the damage on insurance at least.

They should then be looking at CCTV from the garage .....

That's true, if reported they should have logged it and given you an incident number. No excuse for not doing that.

This is becoming an all too familiar story, sadly if it follows the pattern happening around here it will more than likely have been committed by Poles.

Ring the station you reported it to and ask for the crime report number.

the little ****ers i'm think the same as you mate, (quote "show them a few things in life and show them they will have to suck every thing with a straw" quote)

tell me why even if they had caught them why will nothing happen to them, who decides that it is ok to do things like this, stuff like this really ****s me off???????

(sorry for the rant)

They are after any fuel they can get their hands on at the minute... Thousands of litres of home heating oil and red diesel disappear almost every day.

Sign of the economy i guess... More should be done about it though as 'petty crime' is rife and there's next to no punishment!

Most cars are anti-syphon I thought!

I guess thats not the case on the ZS then!
