    Ok who is it?…

     

    Taken from a page on Facebook:

    OWL Message from Hillingdon Neighbourhood Watch:
    Theft of catalytic converters – Blue Ford Focus involved

    Dear Watch Member,
    Attention called to a sky blue Ford Focus involved in multiple thefts of catalytic converters across Hillingdon, Harrow and the Thames Valley area.

    These thefts usually take place early morning – 0400hrs-0500hrs – but also at other times, including daylight hours.
    The vehicle usually contains two or three males with dark clothing and baseball caps. The image below shows the actual vehicle and the suspects.

    Action required
    If you see this vehicle moving slowly down the street and the occupants are seen to get out and look under a vehicle, please call the Police immediately on 999 giving the location.

    Be ready to give the direction of travel if it makes off whilst you are on the call.

    Note the registration if possible, and save any CCTV of the incident.

    These thefts are usually all over within two minutes, so opportunities to catch these thieves are easily missed – an instant call to 999 is essential.

    We had an outbreak of cat thefts in San Diego around 4 yrs ago.

    One of my wife’s co-worker had a Toyota pick-up, during the X-mas party at the hotel all was well, till he was heading home, he noticed his truck was a bit loud than usual.

    There’s precious metal in the Cat.

    If that RS owner is here… shame on you! Hard working people try to work hard and you swipe shit like this!

    I’m ashamed it’s a fellow RS owner is involved with this type of enterprise!

    I doubt the occupants actually own the RS ?



    2017 Nitrous Blue RS with every option except shell seats – no blue bolsters for me though.

    No nothing.

    No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

    No tackiness.

    Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

    maybe half an ounce of rare earth metals in some cats, while scrap yards ask no questions it will carry on

    Not a bad get away vehicle to be fair

    Fit security bolts to make it harder to remove quickly, torx head or similar

    @GM  I think security required sounds like a cat astrophe waiting to happen! I’m not kitten it’s meow or never not the time for pro cat stination, they rarely catch the purrrpatrator
