CFNE Parking wars 2

[AlphaBites]

Starting this just in case :-)

Just as well it's quiet at work this week

Wtf? They won't move the car now ? !

I am very glad this will be resolved by the end of the day
(((((((Hugs))))))

I'd be very worried about repercussions

Not sure how the wheels were taken off and how the car was jacked up but I'd be worried about damage to the car and also worried the car wasn't secure and could collapse to the floor.

If you were jacking up your own car then using decent jacks would be sort of ok but I presume as these wheels were stolen the thieves used whatever was lying around. Blocks of wood would be likely to cause less damage to the car than bricks.

...Because many wheels are over tightened by garages using air guns then often a considerably amount of force has to be used to loosen the nuts when you are using a wrench. I've had to use my body weight and cafefully stand on the end of the wrench in the past . Anyway, what this means is that unless the car is carefully supported and secured removing more than one wheel at a time is quite hazardous UNLESS you are very careful.

Hope they've got the message now and that it doesn't happen again

Read with excitement and trepidation. Thought the outcome would involve bloodshed and damaged property. Glad it's been resolved so quietly but disappointed there were no fireworks so to speak

And then install bollards and chains OP! Cheeky Fuckerism in the extreme!

Sorry x posted

Dragon obviously they cant move now, they have to go buy new tyres still.........

OP I hope you realise your dh could have damaged the car removing the tyres and putting on bricks, warping the drums etc, and is a serious safety issue.

Still no pics.............(and very little details)

Op where do you live? I so though tyres been stolen was a joke maybe they don't steal from their own patch 😂

HelenRose I totally want a Billy bollard. They would scare the shit out of anyone on a dark night.

What words??? You can't just say words!!

Op why are they not moving the car immediately?

Well - I am glad the car is getting moved.

...

Wouldn't it be fab if the three tyres were returned and they fit your trailer?

Definitely a case for all your friends writing stuff on CFN's business FB page.

Alpha we are going to need more info on 'the words'

LOL at people saying "What, why aren't they moving the car immediately?" It's got no f*cking tyres!!

Moggle that would involve people RTFT

what a dick!

Alpha, please be more specific! This is a PARKING thread - the rules state regular updates, diagrams and as much detail as possible to all posts. Come on.

We need the details OP!

Saw CFN and CFNE once I got home and there were words, it started off heated (as expected), resulting in shift worker neighbour coming out and getting involved as well but it has got to a mutual point

So will the stolen wheels miraculously be restored to the vehicle? Cos that's a tricky detail to navigate in terms of this 'mutual point'

(I don't know what is meant by 'mutual point' ~ 'mutually agreed resolution'? It's all a but fudgey, I guess the escalating drama of the alleged wheel theft backed the story into a cul-de-sac)
