Car broken into
Been coming Turf Moor by car for 30 years, on returning to car today I found the back window smashed and all contents gone. Was fuming but beside where I park was BB Skip hire. There was a member of their staff outside waiting for me to tell me his boss had caught it on CCTV and passed on his number to contact later.
Now as maddening as it is that 2 little scroats had about a grands worth of stuff out of my car, I find it uplifting that there are still people willing to help and go out of their way to assist me when they didnt need to.
Not from Burnley but would just like to say a big thanks to those at BB Skips.

Grands worth of stuff?
What did you leave in there?
They'd be lucky to have a hundred quids worth of stuff out of mine.

I am pleased to report that my corned beef sandwich, half a smoothie and a packet of iced buns were intact on my arrival back at my car.
Only some iced buns now remain.

Re: Car broken into
I think they broke into my car too... they took £14 worth of old Pay and Display tickets, magnetic phone holder worth £50, 3 expensive ball point pens and about £2.42 worth of loose change, which when you round up comes to say... £30...

Someone has his car smashed into. Valuables taken. And many on here may have seen it or be able to help. But instead just mock him.

Re: Car broken into
Yeah, I saw what happened, know who did it and where they live and would have told the OP, but the opportunity to make a joke about the price of Twixes instead was just too much to resist. I burst into tears whenever I see Trump’s stupid orange face too. How did you know?
Seriously though, folk are having a little fun with the OP as he seems to be using this unfortunate event as a chance to show off about how much expensive stuff he keeps on view in his car. I’m sure if anyone could actually help (like the good folk at BB Skips) then they would.

It wasnt even meant as a negative post.....more a thank you to the people who went out of their way to help when they could have just kept themselves to themselves and not said anything.
Always try to turn a negative into a positive. And regards the idiots questioning why so much was in car, they are just sad

Cleveleys, best not to leave anything on display, even worthless clutter. It catches the eyes of scumbags, and in doing so, your car becomes a target.

It is a horrific thing to happen and that should not be forgotten
May the scumbags befall something nasty which will make them regret their actions.

Re: Car broken into
We park at the Tennis Club on Belvedere Rd (night games or when the Mrs doesn't want to go shopping) never (touch wood) seen or heard of any break ins there since we have been using it or on Holcombe Drive where we used to park before that...
But my mate had his car broken into in the carpark opposite Queens Park, Queen Victoria Road in the 90's ... all that was in the car and taken was a hold-all with his suit in it... we were playing Liverpool in a League Cup game night match...
No jokes about Scousers and court appearances the next day were made at the time honest

It's less likely, if they are that way out they'll have a do regardless.Billy Balfour wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 12:01 pmHe said he left some of his possessions in a car door pocket. Anyway, it's neither here nor there. My point is that clutter, even litter, catches their attention when they quickly glance in while walking by.

Re: Car broken into
Obviously it's totally wrong that someone broke into your car, but I would never leave anything even slightly on view in my car parked anywhere, and certainly not in the vicinity of Turf Moor, (or any football ground).
Anything in my car goes in the boot out of sight, and anything small and essential such as sunglasses goes in the glove compartment. My "driving" sunglasses are almost valueless anyway but I wouldn't want to tempt fate.
Whilst having sympathy for the victim, was it just his car that was broken into, or were several done on the off-chance that they might all have £1000 worth of goods in them? My guess is that some criminal type was checking loads of cars and didn't just select this one randomly.

I did though also leave bag on display. Although that shouldnt matter really as you shouldnt have parents scoping cars and then sending kids to do the job.

You could have a wad of cash on display, people shouldn't steal it. It's akin to saying that a woman dressed provocatively deserved to be raped.

Sorry to hear of the vandalism and theft from your car Cleveleys. No one deserves that and it will make others think when parking their car in that area.
I see absolutely no point in people being 'smart' about the incident

Has the CCTV been passed onto to the police? I bet they know these scumbags. Also, if the police do indeed know them and their whereabouts, I hope they prosecute and get the social services involved if the two brats are under 18.
