Default Thoughts.....

Mr Dawn has just phoned me to say that he's seen some scrag taking detailed pictures of his car.

He wasn't sure what the guy was doing at first and people often stare at the Integra so he didn't do anything to start with then he saw the camera taking various angled shots. The second the bloke saw all 6ft 3ins of Mr Dawn loping towards him, he legged it.

I'm ever so slightly concerned that someone's lining up a new home for our Teg.

What do you think? Am I just being overly dramatic or would you park another car behind it on the driveway this week?

Hmmm - that would worry me.

If the bloke just genuinely liked the car he surely would have stopped for a chat.

Drastic action quick

Maybe for a fake ebay auction?

I don't think a Teg would be a steal to order type of car so no need to worry on that front, but as has been said it could be some kind of ringing or ebay type scam.

Sounds like he'll use the pics for a scam.

Wouldn't have thought he'd take snaps of a car he was about to nick.

Could be actually Pip.

I'll keep an eye out.

Vix, I am a trifle concerned! Even more concerned when he suggested putting the Stook behind it on the driveway by way of a shield!

You see, I would agree but recently a client had his Golf GTI stolen off his driveway, never to be seen again.

Whilst it was a newer vehicle and obviously worth more money, I wouldn't really have put a Golf GTI in the 'at risk' category either.

6'3 or not, you should tell him right where to go with that idea

Neighbour had his Vectra stolen recently, they'll take all sorts

I'd def. keep an eye on the Teg (but then I'm Miss Paranoia!!) - do you drive it every day? I did read a suggestion of putting it on stands and taking 2 wheels off as quite a good deterrent!
