Thieving pikey bastards...

[Stephen]

Some little ****** broke into my car yesterday morning, stealing:

- 2 new tyres ready to be put on for the MOT
- Wallet (2 bank cards, 3 credit cards, drivers license)
- House keys (yes, complete with address, doh!)
- Bag containing 2 pairs of Predator football boots
- Faceplate off my stereo, even the box for it. Left the unit though, idiots.
- An engraved silver bracelet i got for my 18th.
- Over 30 cd's.

All in all over £500 worth of gear. Not to mention the fact ive got to pay for a new nearside rear quarter, well the excess anyway.

They even stole one of my girlfriends earrings which were on the dash, obviously only got one pierced...

I know i was incredidly stupid to leave half the stuff in there but come on, its not fair!!

Gutted mate.....not a nice thing to happen

True, some might say that leaving the stuff in there might have been careless. I'm obsessed with stuff like that, even going as far as locking/concealing CD's and stuff up when I go to pay for fuel.

Still, at best, you can hope that the thieving little pikey shite will die soon of their crack habit that they stole your stuff to fund

An earring though??! How much could they score for that? I'll be scouring the local pawn shops on monday for my bracelet and hopefully the accompanying sellee address >:-D

Sorry to hear that. It's never a good thing to be the victim of a robbery.

I have to say it does sound as if the car was a bit inviting - just one thought, why leave your wallet and house keys in the car? Why not have them on your person? Too late now anyhow

I assume you have told the police? Are you claiming with your insurance?

- -

What I try to do is have nothing in the car that I could bear to see knicked. CDs are copies of the originals which I keep in the house, everything is out of sight - although I do keep my HU faceplate in the car, its well hidden! No money, no jewelery, no temptation.

Ins.

 

[Stephen]

Its usually garaged but i'd crashed at my girlfriends having not slept the previous night so i'd emptied it of my valuables. Live and learn...

OI!

Excuse me, but I'm a Pikey, in its council tennant connotation, and take exception to its usage.

I do sympathise with you over your break-in, though.
I had my Teapot broken in to. All locks trashed, glove box and boot ransacked, nearly new socket set tipped out of its case but not taken (thickos). All they took was the basic Blaupunkt radio/cassette, which was worth less than the socket set!
Rear quarter smashed, had to be replaced (no excess, so cost me nowt) locks all had to be replaced.

It cost me nothing financialy, just bloody inconvenient!
I actualy came off better due to Co-op insurance giving me more than I claimed for to replace the stereo, like for like.

I am a Pikey!
I have never broken into anyones car.
I have never broken into anyones home.
I have never mugged anyone.
Council estate lad, and proud of it!

Re: OI!

What kind of area does your girlfriend live in? These little bleeders dont tend to travel very far to commit thier crimes...(most thieves are lazy like that.) If it were me id be checking around the local neighbourhood for the little scumbags.

"Council estate lad, and proud of it!"

I also live on a council estate, always have, never been called a pikey though. I think you may be getting mixed up a bit there mate.A Pikey to me is a Gipsy you can tell that by your rather amusing link, and also have you not seen "Snatch"? Quality film, if you havn't I recomend you do.

I am not trying to start a debate or anything Mark I'm just saying, Maybe you have different names for people around your area or somthing, but round here in the north west the above expaination applies.

Cheers Marin L.

Not my definition, this is from the Urban Dictionary:

Southern English word, derived from the slang for gypsie or diddicoy, used by the middle classes to denote a council tenant, usually young and male. A pikey has an inherent sense of style and trends are set on an annual basis. This year we see Burberry on the streets, largely in cap-form, but also filtering into ladies fashion, in the shape of the Burberry handbag. These Burberry items do not have to be originals, ie they can be procured from the market, but discovery of this pikey version may lead to derision from the pikey's peers.
Pikeys stick together, they share the same things in common - lifts, fathers as well as haircuts, accents and bad taste in women. A pikey hotspot is the charming seaside resort town of Portsmouth. In this old, historic port town pikeys can be readily spotted in almost every locale. Pikey-spotting hints - look for excessive volumes of spittle and chewing gum on the ground, puddles of sick, large amounts of litter and fast food remains are also useful signifiers of pikey territory. To deal with pikeys takes nerve, but never show weakness. Like their Staffs, Pikeys can smell fear from a long way off. And remember, they're often wearing solid gold sovereign rings, so punch-ups will hurt.

LOL

Like it mate, I must take a look at that dictionary some time.

But...as I said:

"Southern English word, derived from the slang for gypsie or diddicoy"

so looks as though we are both right, although I do think yours is more of a **** take version, thanks for the definition though. Is that dictiionary on line?

Cheers Martin L.

I think this is a much clearer description....

A girl goes the the Benefits Office to sign on. The interviewing Officer asks if she has any children. "Yeah" she replies, "ten".

"Oh really" says the officer, "what are their names?"

She pauses to think then says "err there's Wayne, Wayne, Wayne....Way...yne, erm, oh yeah, Wayne, Wayne and Wayne, then there's Wayne, Wayne....and er...Wayne!".

"Wow" says the Benefits Officer, "all called Wayne? that must be difficult isn't it, I mean all called the same name?" "Nahh" she replies "It's like when their dinner is ready I opens the windah and shouts WAYNE! YER TEA'S READY! and they all come in! when it's bed time I shouts WAYNE, TIME FER BED! and they all go to bed! simple". "Yes" says the Benefits Officer, "I see, but what if you wanted to talk to one of them individually?"


"Oh that's simple " she said "I just call them by their surnames".

She lives in a posh area but one of the houses on her street is being rented out to a gypsy family by a now bankrupt lottery winner. Im positive there dealing so it could be anyone walking past to get there.

 

[Stephen]

Just checked my account, seems £33.72 is missing from my account but as yet the transaction isnt visible.

 

[Nicola]

Sorry to hear of your breakin.

Seems like these slang words are definitley used for different things. I assume a Pikey is a gypsy or a new age traveller. I use the word charver for those theiving sob's.
and the like.

Well as of this morning im £150 odd out of pocket, just got to wait for the transactions to clear so we can see where they were used. Roll on cctv and another convicted smack addict. Another house on the street was done as well.
