Default Car Crime

Was watching the news this morning and ita appears Essex is the worst place in England for car crime followed by Liverpool.

There were 2.4 million car break ins last year and most of them from my neck of the woods. I was thinking this cant be right then I thought about my misshaps!!!


2 cars broken into

3 cars damaged from outside

I never leave my S anywhere now for too long, 10 mins in a car park maximum.

I can believe it..... isn't it from where chavs originated (or most of them still are, yourself excluded of course!)?

Or maybe it's more like the Greater London area itself, as that's where all the crimes I've ever had committed against my cars have been.

Now living in Oxfordshire and I must admit I feel relatively safe from it here - for how long, who knows?

Chav - member of the burgeoning peasant underclass. A nationwide phenomenon.
