Default Twocking

hI Joecro,
Twocking is the slang word the police use for taking without the owners consent, hence twocking. So these little or big toe rags check on sites like these and find locations to steal cars from. It makes it more easier with the soft top as well. As you know I work in the gulf and I have to say I agree with the way the Arabs handle things over here. Pinch something and off goes your hand, we should do the same back home. It is probably the same twockers who have a lot of children running around to different girls and we are footing the bill out of our taxes. I must stop now because I get upset with these pathetic pricks we have in government right now. Speak to you all later bye for now.

Yep. Theft of your car and intending to keep it/ sell it, export it to Africa carries 10 years imprisonment.

TWOC means you didn't intend, to keep it, you were just having a go in it, you'd missed the last bus home.... yadda yadda. A lot of TWOCKED vehicles turn up abandoned in fairly public places so it's fair to assume the culprits didn't mean to keep them. TWOC carries 3 years imprisonment. I suppose it's fair to draw the distinction between the two offences but when does anyone get 3 years for TWOC, even repeat offenders?

Makes me do this---------------->

I read an article in a car magazine recently that most professional car theifs will steal the car and then 'dump' it off in an open public place for 24 hours to see if the police turn up and retrieve it. If they do, then they know that the car had a tracker system.

Therefore, tracker is a superb option to have fitted to any car - Hopefully the scum that take it won't abuse it and cause any damage!

I paid

Thanks for the information, the tracker is starting to look like a "must have" item
