E30s being stolen in West Sussex

[Ian_M]

Just so you guys know.

I got pulled over by the police last night asking if my E30 was actually mine.. After a puzzled look I gave them all my details and they ran the plates and all was okay.

But they said the reason they pulled me over was because a lot of these style BMWs (E30s) are being stolen in the Worthing/Littlehampton area, so if you're in this area or visit this area, be careful where you park/leave you car!

Cheers.

Could have been the first thing fuzzy-wuzzy thought of after a quick smell of your breath....

[Martinaston]

They normaly come out with that crap. Due to them being small minded boggots who stop perfectly legal people who drive a certain brand of car in the hope of getting lucky.
Lazy idiot method of enforcing the law.

[cliffybabe]

Yeah sounds like a excuss to me, Everytime ur stopped in ur car u have to be given a substantial reason for the stop.

To me it was a quick check on u.

Did they issue u with a 5090 or was it words of wizdom only??

Martinaston r u saying we only pick on BMW drivers

[Martinaston]

Oh no, they let you on the Job. What was the attraction, the black and chrome hat

[Ian_M]

They issued me with a white piece of paper, no idea what it was. A quick stop form he said.

But on there as the reason for stop it says: 'Driving old style BMW in area smv-old (BMW)'

And 'Stolen Property' was ticked.

Perhaps it was just an excuse but just thought I'd let you guys know.

Cheers.

I got pulled over friday night 100m from my own house (i was going from home). Asked for my name, and said oh, thought you were some one else. and i know for a fact they didnt have enough time to run the plates.

When i went to got my e30 from london i got pulled over that night in Brighton and got a moaning from the Fuzz for about 30mins as the car was still not in my name!

[agreen]

Yeah they saw the car and thought old bm's are easy to nick give it the once over

fucking copa's jumping to there stupid, unthought out, geralised conclusions

nothing better to do, than get take away ,and drive round talking about how they have no friends and all there relitives are scared to talk to them

[oakey]

I was stopped once for driving with a full car of people

[Hakkera]

Oooh I can feel the anger in that. It's true though, my mate drives a saxo.. Yes I know what your thinking. But yeah, he has got pulled over 40+ times in 6 months...

[agreen]

its strange they can be arsed to pull you over to talk shit

but when someone hits you , or your car's damaged or stolen

we will call you if we hear anything is what they say - what they mean we dont really care about minor car crime especially old bmw's, so we will give you some crap to fob you off for now and go back to getting paid to much money to piss people off

crap totall crap

[gazza]

only 40 times he should take the hint and buy a e30

[Benho]

he should take a hint and burn his car ;)

[spook]

I got stopped once in west Sussex driving my E30 down a country lane full of big posh houses, the old bill thought i was on the rob, maybe they thought the car was a bit council, its not but i am

[agreen]

more cases of scum (ery)

i got stopped once for my de cated E36 being to loud !!!!

compared to what i said

he then proceded to tell me there was a law against exhausts being to loud and how i was breaking the law , tried to give me a producer and some ticket which needed to be sighned by a MOT STATION. until i asked him what the limit was, how he knew it was to loud and where his decibal meter was ?

a caution it is then !!! but he told me if he said if he saw me again without fixing the problem he would give me a ticket ok then mate

[Stifla]

Reading the title put a chill down my spine, a few years back a friend of mine had his e30 stolen, i then heard of three more that had been stolen that week in the same area!

One of my cars was also stolen (not an e30), a copper turned up on my doorstep at 6 in the morning to tell me about it.....the thing that pissed me off was the fact the police said they had to stop the pursuit due to the thieves crossing the west sussex/hampshire borders!!

So i reserve a special, very acute hate for car thieves/vandals....i wont go into what i would do to someone i caught with thier hands on mine

[agreen]

car thieves/vandals....

and police ? for stopping the chase ?

[march109]

When I lived in the valleys it was common practise to nick a red car drive to Swansea, then nick a colour and drive up the valley then nick another red and drive to Swansea ect ect...

It was called car snooker, but what amused me most was the fact on these nights of fun and games the police would just stop any red car the saw, as it was the best chance of catching them. The couldn't be bothered to do an better police work.

Always owned black and silver cars myself, blacks rarely got stolen! no such thing as a silver snooker ball!

[alex-e30]

well how about the cue ball?

[march109]

Nah never nicked white cars don't know why, but I guess it was just for practicality reasons they were normally caught mid spree and turned out to be some valley council scronging under 16 uneducated lazy scrotes.

[alex-e30]

thats why my sister red corsa got nicked last month and why her old red fiesta got nicked twice

[agreen]

three cars nicked thats unlucky

[alex-e30]

nobody works where i live, they dont no what its like to work and save hard for some thing to be taken away by scum

[march109]

Why do they turn up at 6am, regardless of what time your car was actually nicked!!!! And expect you to be awake and sober!!!!


Is it just something to do while they wait for the canteen to open???
