Snap On Van Theft in the UK

[N.I.]

There is an interesting thread being spread around some of the UK motoring forums, I thought I would forward it on.

See post 14.

Basically some scumbag broke in a Snap On van with 3 mates and stole 50 grands worth of tools.
They were caught and did some jail time.

The scumbag has now come on to the forum to gloat how easy it was.

Now the funny part is that he signed up with his real email address and from this they have confirmed his name, his full address and have a photo of his house on google maps. They have his mobile number and even his facebook account and a photo of his missus.

It should be an interesting thread to watch and see if he gets dished some vigilante justice.

I amagine that if he was in the states he would already have a bullet in his skull?

He already did time in jail. It wouldn't be vigilante justice if someone does something to him, it would be another crime.

Two months for a fifty grand theft? This is exactly what is wrong with the UK today. Plus the Snap-On boy's insurance premiums will have shot through the roof for both his vehicle insurance and his business contents. I was watching a police show the other night and it was British Transport Police chasing idiots stealing copper cable off the railways. They're bringing the entire rail network to a halt for millions of pounds worth of damage and the courts are given them 2 months in the jail? Should be sending them to Afghan so our boys can send them out in front of patrols to find IED's! (No metal detectores required)

I like learning UK slang!

I wonder if he has an alarm?

Probably not worth the effort anyway, everything he has is probably already stolen.

You would honestly struggle with some of the dialects to even recognise it as English. Throw in youth street talk and you would understand virtually nothing.

Well done to the British police though. They probably saved the Snappy guy from going bust.

Lame so they think that thread is going to go viral on the net when all they have done is posted some personal info about him and haven't even done anything.

10 pages of reading with only 1 picture, some misspelled words and some forum blokes making fun of him.
Waste of reading time.

Great

Obviously didn't learn his lesson.

Maybe a few whacks to the head with a cricket bat could help clear things up for him?

True. I'm at a complete loss with Cockney rhyming slang.

I Germany he would get a slap on his *** and because of his bad childhood a 3 month pedagogical vacation in the Caribbean.

He only got two months because he only stole a combination wrench set.

If he would have stole the whole truck the FBI would be brought in for the amount of loss!lol
