Port Said Red Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hi all. I know this is not specifically football related but I wanted to put it where most people would see it. As I have done all season I parked at the Portway Park and Ride today and the catalytic converter was stolen/cut from my car. I believe the ones from my type of car (hybrid) are more popular for this type of theft, but not exclusively. I just thought any fellow users of the P&R should be aware. Also if anyone saw anything when they were parking up or collecting their cars, I would appreciate any information. The police have been informed and will be checking the CCTV that is situated there.

pongo88 Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Unfortunately this type of theft has become much more common with hybrid cars https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/business-49767195 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Sorry to hear this, hope the CCTV comes up with something. I use this P&R, is there a place that's well covered by CCTV to park in? I usually park in the bit below the bus stops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they must have stolen plates or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I did hear of similar happening around here, they just pull up, slide underneath with a battery operated disc cutter, 2 cuts, in the back of the van and gone in minutes. It does seem some are very sought after at the monent. I'm hoping mine isn't of as much interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 it happens at work quite a bit,especially jap cars,petrol Hondas etc. hybrids will be at greater risk as they are not being used nearly as much and worth more as scrap. sometimes the damage gets quite extensive as the thieves just rip the lambda sensors wires out,causing damage to the main wiring harnesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Heard similar reports at Odd / Coombe Down today, yet their cctv wasn’t working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judda Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Scum bags. I've had my van broken into 3 times in 2 years. People like this make me sick. Hope they get caught but probably not as the police don't have the resources these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
