mystery of ye olde tax disk

[Uncle Jimmy]

My aged mother had the tax disc stolen from her MX5 (hood down obviously) last week. Can any of you learned gents offer any possible explanation as to why any pillock would do that?

So they can put it on Ebay for vast profits.

^^This, in all probability.....does the said car have a distinctive number plate?

[Uncle Jimmy]

No, I don't think so, having said that any unintelligible tosh seems to qualify as a personal plate.

Why would it be worth anything?

[mercrocker]

Seems that tax discs with short/special plates seem to attract a premium....Does seem odd though that somebody should take a current disc unless they are salting them away.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Seems to be a lot of 2014/15 for sale on eBay. Seems £3.67 is sufficient reward to act like a twat then....shakes head, lights ciggie..

"Dad, wtf do you keep going on about a 'tax disc'disc' for?

[Micrashed]

Going off topic now 

 

 

Ive seen quite a few cars with no disc now and it just looks very odd.

[beko1987]

Havent seen a single one yet!

You could hunt ebay for it.  Should not be too hard to see if it is listed.  I must admit to having sold quite a few on there, but only mine or ones I have got from friends.

 

Might be for a personal collection, after all selling them for profit when the profit will be about £1 seems completely mental when you are committing a criminal offence!

[Uncle Jimmy]

An I thought having a stamp collection was dull! I've scoped the bay of shite but it's not on there yet.

I see the repro ones are getting popular, you've got to be either a. Terminally boring or b. Properly special, to want one.

I have an alibi!

 

Probably. 

 

SEE YOU IN COURT, MOFO!

[Uncle Jimmy]

Let me know when you list it and I'll place a bid. Is collection ok? I'll drop in and torture you with a selection of 6 volt 1950s motoring accessories.

Probably some mouth-breather that thinks they can get a refund on it...
