car theifs in the Birmingham/solihull area

Thought i should give you all a warning.

If you live in Birmingham / solihull there are a group of car theifs about at the moment. I had a visit off them earlier today offering me parts, when i questioned where the parts was coming from they told me they know of a car local to me that they will steal to supply me the parts. As it happens i know this bunch from years ago and i think they was scoping my car up, i watched them drive past it slow twice (green suburu) and went outside to see who it was. They reconnised me and shouted me over.

We have had issues in the past where a car of mine was almost stolen by this lot but i had the upper hand basically.

Basically they are stealing to order, providing no one with a skyline takes them up on there offer then your cars are safe as they steal to order.

obviously i wont be buying parts off them, but i cant say that others in the area wont, if someone puts a order in then your car 'might' be going missing.

This is not just skyline related, they are happy to steal what ever car you may want parts for.

IF you are the type of person to take them up on this offer, well shame on you, but this group of lads are most probally offering your car up for sale also.

Eyes open people

How do they do it, do they got them picked up by a trailer or hot wire them.
I think skylines are hard to steal especially if you have a good alarm system and a tracker which most of us have I believe.
And why are they still out and about doing what they are doing for years, should be behind bars surely.

They have not long been let out mate, they WAS behind bars.

They are good at what they do mate. Put it this way, the adverage CAT 2 alarm will take around 30 seconds to get around. A cat 1 will take around the same time

It is all down to how good the alarm fitter is at the end of the day. Clifford for instance state how there alarm should be fitted to get there money back guarranty if your car is stolen. What a mistake! All there alarms get fitted the same way.

If i showed you how to fit a clifford alarm, well surely you would now know how to take the alarm back off and put the car back to standard? More so i will be showing you the wires that we use to immoberlise the car!

Im not going to say to much on a open forum mate for obvious reasons. But trust me, me personally (used to help a mate fit alarms) could get 90% of cars started in 1-2 minutes with no damage, these chaps in question dont care about damage so you can reduce that time down to 30 seconds. O and that is a CAT cert alarm.

Someone broke into my office last night/early morning and took all the BMW parts I've been collecting for my M5.
Had lots of skyline bits but there weren't touched
