Stolen !

[Jay]

Of all the things I detest most, stealing is right up there!

I was very pleased to find that someone had stolen my tax-disc off my bike again this week, broad daylight outside our workshop.

I was positively over the moon that they also took the disc holder too and left the nuts on my seat.

Why oh why couldn't I just happen to walk out of the door while they were doing it!

Bloody 'ell!
That takes some front to do doesn't it!
Just as well I'm scrupulously honest -stupid, but honest. I'd never make a decent thief. Wouldn't have the guts to brazenly sit there & unbolt it. You'd think they'd just rip the thing off quick & scarper wouldn't you. I wouldn't even know what to do with a nicked disc. Presumably wipe your details off & add their own but how? -No, I don't want to know!
I've never learnt how to hot-wire a car, how to shoplift, pinch a credit card ...bit of a failure all round really.

bloody hell jay! that really is adding insult to injury leaving the nut's on your seat. i presume there is nowhere a bit more secure to leave the bike? (not that you should have to....) it does'nt look like it was an opportunist thing though does it? he/they must have bought some tool's for the job............wankers.

see this really gets on my tits, lad had it happen and it astounded me that he had to pay more for the replacement than he had left, havent these fuckwits realised that with the anpr vans and cameras they arnt going to get away with it, still hopefully if they get caught by the van then the scrotes will also get caught with your disc tossers

Bet you'd like their theiving nuts left for you to deal with.... :mad:

I had to pay £7 for a replacement, but to get that replacement you have to send off the log book, which I didn't have because I have only just got the bike.

So, I wait for the logbook, send it off and wait for a couple of days and can't ride my bike in the meantime.

Now I have the new disc but am I really chomping at the bit to put it on my bike again?

I'm going to carry it in my pocket and take my chances with the law!

The same as happened to me in the past. I now have my disc under my seat. as for the cameras, your bike will show as taxed & should you get a ticket at any time from the likes of a traffic warden,etc. you can take your disc to the cop shop and the ticket is scrapped after you've filled in a short form. I've done this for years and the non cost ov replacing holders, discs, etc is a lot better!

Cracking job, I thought that if you were caught not displaying at disc, you were fined and that was it!

It's about time things changed anyway really, I mean you don't have to display your insurance or MOT do you, why should your tax disc be any different?

[JOE]

for fuk sake - a tax disc?

[devon-tony]

must be somethig in the air

I got back to my bike last week to find tax disc holder missing along with tax disc, but luckily it was an out of date one LOL damn thick chav scum cant even read LOL

but agree fully with comments above, Ive carried mine in my pocket for years, and on the occasions that I have had tickets etc, I just go to the police station, present the disc and mot etc etc, just makes things easier as they then realise you fully legal and seem to be a bit nicer, I just show them and explain it was on the bike, but obviuosly the warden didnt see it??? think the only rules about location are thta it has to be on the left hand side of the vehicle to save the warden the danger of going into the road to look for it.

have told the truth several times and all the coppers have been fine about it, they understand the hassle of having them on show and being nicked etc, and with this day of computers etc they can tell if the vehicle is taxed so whats the big problem with not displaying it???

[devon-tony]

yup easy to remove just the biro and leave the stamp behind, used to be the easy way to have a disc on show and at least stop the police hassling you about tax, but now its all done by computers etc, I didnt thikn that people would still do it, obviuosly only the thick ones dont understand and still go robbing discs to put on their novas and 1.1 5 door escorts with cossie bodykits

1.1 5 door escorts with cossie bodykits
I thought that was just a Gloucester thing :D

[BikerGran]

Some years ago I even had my tax disc - complete with holder - nicked off my 100cc baby bike - the tax on that was only £15 ffs!

[devon-tony]

yeah but they would have removed the ink and rewritten it to the reg number and cost that they wanted, then its good for whatever vehicle they wanted

and down here there seems to be a trend of removing the door handles from the back doors, or even as I witnessed last night, welding and filling the door shut up, to make it look like a 3 door, but look through the window and can see the door and the handle etc LOL

:rolleyes:

[manky monkey]

Anybody wanna buy a cheap tax disc? -JOKING! just joking. Sorry.
Never really thought about the hassle that even a simple crime like that produces. Obviously the nasty little scroat that pinched your disc doesn't care that you can't ride the bike or you've got to pay to replace it, but he's created all sorts of knock on effects.
Yes, your mail's safe with me! :) I've got very old fashioned views for a 43 year old. An old school Postie! I treat everyone's belongings the way I'd want mine looked after. Shame the rest of society doesn't think the same way ain't it. I get the odd idiot trying to take advantage of my trusting nature but I refuse to compromise my principles just cos others do. As they say, don't let the b*stards grind you down! :D
