Glad you tracked the owners down I imagine it’s awaiting collection by a scrapyard or car breakers. I doubt a demolition firm would just dump it hoping the council would collect it. I guess if it goes to a car breakers it will get sold on or dismantled for usable bits, if it goes straight to a metal yard it might just get crushed. The alternative is one of the demolition guys or builders has said they’ll do something with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 This has been sat on a former pub carpark since last year. Once the weeds start to eat the wheels, it's not a good sign. Nor are the Twin Red Bars Of Doom... Think it could be curtains for this Transit Connect... Though seeing this one made me realise just how thin on the ground they are, these days.

Richard_FM Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 There is a pub I used to occasionally visit which had an early Mk1 Ford Focus in the same parking space each time. It took me a few visits to realised it might have been dumped there. I presume it took some legal wrangling to get it removed. It was that insipid yellow colour, & another in the same colour seemed to take up residence in the car park at my local Premier Inn around the same time.

The owners seem to get a luxo barge every once in a while, drive it a bit then park it. I'm literally that person in my local area.

bunglebus Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I'm not one for vigilante justice, but the driver of this van has been going around the area propositioning young girls. He actually lives at the other end of my road, has no licence as far as we know and also threatened my BIL with a baseball bat years ago. I just hope he hadn't borrowed the van UltraWomble, purplebargeken, Lacquer Peel and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's often better learning experience for the individual to receive an expression of the community's displeasure personally. There were loads of police outside his place a few days prior, so I expect he's escaped from a kicking - but whether he can be charged/convicted is another matter. I shouldn't think he'll show his face around here anyway. I never agree with taking out displeasure on someone's vehicle, been on the receiving end of that myself, but his behaviour (assuming what's being said about him is true) does tend to get people a bit hot under the collar, and understandably so. There are lots of kids and a junior/secondary school on the estate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drove past yesterday, and seems that the Connect's been dragged from the edge of the car park out to the kerb (literally dragged, going by the marks on the gravel - guessing the handbrake's stuck on). I foresee a HIAB in its immediate future... ...in which case the driver really ought to get out, if they're still in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
