this supermarket car park scam highlighted today may prove of interest:

I don't know if other forum members have come across it or raised the topic, but it's a known fact that imitation is the finest form of flattery, so best to be aware that other toe rags may take it up.

I know that car park quite well but I usualy get the train to Southport so hopefully not a problem. I will never want to park a car within 15 miles of Liverpool :p: (joke).

Staying near Northwich in Cheshire some years ago, a prosperous sort of place about 15 miles from Liverpool or perhaps a bit more, I noticed that any untoward sound in the evening, or the security lights going on, would make my hosts leap to their feet and twitch the curtains muttering anxiously: 'The Scousers, the Scousers...'
|
Southport is more than 15 miles from Southport...:-)
However, as Lud rightly points out, distance doesn't prove a barrier to the comparatively small number of toe rag Scousers who let the side down.
But this sort of people are everywhere, as we all know.

I have only had two car breakins in some 40 years of driving.
Yes they were in liverpool.
My opinion of the place and its denizens is unprintable.
|
|
I had my car badly scratched in Liverpool, I hate the place.
|

I was born and bred in Liverpool and in fairness I have to say the place owes me a great deal........
The list includes, a microwave oven, several VCRs, 2 mountain bikes and a 1984 Ford Sierra.

Thats hilarious... stand by for the onslaught .
Funny how supermarkets are quick to issue parking tickets to customers they reckon have over stayed their time but can't control criminal activity on their car parks.
|
In this case it's a council operated car park with Draconian traffic wardens who issue fines if you are five seconds or over the parking time - Asda is just one of about 20 outlets on the site and pays the parking fee if you spend more than a certain amount.
My surprise is that as the police are aware of the problem why they haven't got some plain clothes officers on duty.

Surely these car parks are private property and as such, the owners of the stores have every right to remove people seen acting suspiciously ? Why don't they ?
|
|
Probably fear of getting a punch in the face...
|

|
|
I thought all large supermarket car parks had CCTV ?
|
|
Security guards get paid very little, and they're probably known to the scrotes, if not related:) Nelson touch?

I used to live in Warrington, next door to a police sergeant. He used to pull a face and moan that we got the bad lads from Liverpool & Manchester visiting!

Liverpool was the first city where I was given the opportunity for some young schoool scallies to "watch my car for a quid". Foolishly, I ignored them and came back to my uncle's van minus wheels and doors. And that was 1968.
So not much has changed then!
|
>And that was 1968 ..
A friend of ours returned to her Cortina around then stealthily enough to disturb the scallies, so that they left their Ford master key in the lock ...
