The chap in the taxi firm, across the road from where I live, got up one morning to find thieves had stolen the front door, both wings and the bonnet from his taxi.
So he bought a nasty Doberman dog for 400 quid, to protect his property.
Three days later the thieves returned - and stole the dog!
There's a trunk road just to the north of me, the A470 'Heads of the Valleys' road.
If someone breaks down on this road they had better get the vehicle recovered fast or at least never leave the car unattended.
The first thing to go are the windows. (Smashed to allow access to the interior.) Then any personal artifacts and the radio-cassette. Then the wheels and battery. finally, body parts such as wing mirrors, bumpers etc.
Some mornings I see freshly broken down vehicles on this road, on my way to work. Usually, by the time I pass it coming home, the vehicle is a skeleton.
