TD5 Atempted theft in EXETER DEVON

77woody · Sep 2, 2012

Not sure if peeps will moan ive put this in the wrong place but thought i should let anyone in the EXETER area know about the 2 tossers who tryed to have my td5 away at about 06:00 this morning (02/09)

Might have been some drunks on their way home? why else would anyone be on the streets at 6 in the morning, unless you were going to work perhaps? Thankfully you've still got your TD5, was there any damage?

Did you disturb them?

Were there any security devices fitted to the 90 at the time of the attempted theft - e.g. Disklok and/or Clutch-Claw? I guess from what you say that you saw them before any proper attempt was made.

Thanks for the feedback

Sounds like they knew there was a switch somewhere but didn't get the chance to crack it. There is probably no good reason for these people to go on existing.

Probably for the best you had the kill switches. They slowed them down enough that someone disturbed them.

Don't forget to buy the neighbour a few pints, he could've done what so many do these days and turned a blind eye.
