Ditched!
The rusting remains of a burnt out car. In a muddy ditch along the A272 near Tillington, West Sussex.
Another panda totally burnt out to its shell, you can see the burnt patch behind where the transit van got torched.
A Citroen C4 which got burnt out back in 2023 has finally got a friend to join it. Both burnt out down one of the tracks in the woods.
As posted before here on Flickr (flic.kr/p/shGBys) we were burgled last weekend while we slept in our beds. The thieves broke in and stole a few small items(a kindle, an iPod and my Manfrotto tripod with star-gazing binoculars mounted on it) but also pinched our keys and drove off with both of our cars. The main car was a family Vauxhall Zafira 7-seater spattered in crisp crumbs and dried milk stains. The other was my clapped out 13yr old Skoda Fabia with 90,000miles on the clock sqealing brakes and a rakish dent in the front wing! Even the police looked embarassed for us stating "They've not exactly been stolen 'to order'! " I still find it amusing that they would pinch the Skoda! It's hardly 'Vin Diesel' is it? Coincidentally 3nights earlier I happened to take the only photos of that car that I ever took while I was up at Loch Lomond looking for Lyrid shooting stars. This is my homage to that trusty wee run-around- a work-horse Rocinante to my Don Quixote...
PS it is just a bit of fun... ;-)
Incidentally they did film bits of 'Fast & Furious 6" in Glasgow:

As the man who lit the fire ran to an accomplice's car, I saw the flames and ran up to the road from our house. By chance, I had a camera in my pocket. Seeing no chance to stop the fire, I ran back inside and called the fire dept.
I went out for a walk this morning to try and loosen up my stiff body and this is what I saw at the end of the road.
Without wishing to tempt fate, it's a once familiar site that has since become rare.
With manufacturers working harder to integrate their radios into their cars with the use of separate screens and displays, the market for aftermarket car radios, and hence stolen car radios has really taken a hit.
I don't know what the unfortunate owner of this Punto left on display in their car but you can bet your bottom dollar it will be a mobile phone or a sat nav.
A lesson learned the hard way. :(

Mingo Creek Trail opened in August 2014, and it connects the town of Knightdale from Mingo Creek Park to the Neuse River Trail in Raleigh, NC, just north of Anderson Point Park in Raleigh. Along its 3.4-mile paved surface, you will pass some residential areas of Knightdale (with a few connections to local streets such as Widewaters Parkway, Princeton Manor) and across long boardwalks over wetlands.
Where the trail intersects Hodge Road, there is a slight detour to rejoin the trail. USE EXTREME CAUTION CROSSING HODGE ROAD AS VEHICLES TEND TO SPEED IN THE AREA OF THE GREENWAY CROSSING.
When opened it was obviously in excellent condition for walkers, runners and cyclists, it has recently fallen into disrepair in some areas due to apparent preventive maintenance issues, erosion and lack of prompt attention.
Twice last week I woke up to the sound of a car burning just outside my bedroom window. And for the second time I had to call 112. What happened was that a couple of local thieves (probably very young), stole a car, took it for a joyride and the left it outside the gymnasium where they torched it. Same place three days earlier. As I took the photo my neighbour joined me and we heard the wheels explode one by one. After what felt like twenty minutes the fire truck arrived.
Greater Manchester Police’s Salford Division is using customised flags in car crime hotspots to remind motorists to remove valuables from their vehicles.
Since the start of this year there have been 57 incidents where items were stolen from vehicles in the Trinity Blackfriars area alone, compared to 48 during the same period in 2012, and police are keen to help people to avoid becoming victims.
Fiona James, crime reduction specialist for Salford, said: “Motorists should park in secure or well-lit areas wherever possible. They should also close all windows, set any security devices and remove all valuables, especially sat navs and their mounting cradles. All doors should be locked and checked manually, as automatic locking devices can sometimes suffer from interference.
“If you must leave your vehicle unattended with valuables inside, make sure you lock them in the boot out of sight, and it’s worth remembering that some stores will keep gifts for you so you can collect them later.”
Police are also urging motorists to register valuables at www.immobilise.com and to security mark them with their postcode and house number or vehicle registration number. Immobilise is a free Home Office approved website which allows you to keep a record of all your valuable items.

You should call 101, the new national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.
Bedfordshire Police are reminding residents to take extra measures to ensure that they don’t become the victims of car crime.
In recent weeks there has been a slight increase in burglaries across the county where thieves are looking for car keys to steal the homeowner’s vehicle.
For most people, a car is the most expensive possession that they own and for this reason it is important to take steps to combat car theft and reduce the chances of being a victim of crime.
Newer cars generally have a security system in place which makes it almost impossible for the vehicle to be stolen without the keys. For that reason, thieves are committing burglaries specifically to steal car keys and any other valuables that are nearby.
To help reduce the risk of car theft, Bedfordshire Police is urging motorists not to leave their car keys or valuables anywhere where they can be easily seen from outside or within range to be ‘fished’ through the letterbox.
Number plates are also a target for criminals who then attach them to their own vehicles to commit offences like the theft of fuel from filling stations that are covered by CCTV. Bedfordshire Police regularly hosts ‘Your Number’s Up’ events where tamper-proof screws can be installed to vehicles free of charge thereby reducing the threat of theft.
Residents are also being urged to register with the UK National Property Register at www.immobilise.com/ where they can log any items such as mobile phones, computers, bicycles, appliances and jewellery. Immobilise will record serial numbers and also allows the user to upload pictures and a brief description of the item.
The Immobilise database is linked directly to a number of police systems across the UK which makes it easier for officers to trace the owners of any recovered items as well as identifying items that have been found on suspected criminals.
Another measure that residents can consider is security marking their property with Ultra-Violet (UV) pens or chemical DNA marking solutions which can also be used on jewellery.
Bedfordshire Police and Crime Reduction co-ordinators continue to actively target the problem at the moment but anything that can be done to prevent the problem in the first place is invaluable.
Other measures that residents can take to reduce the threat of burglary include:
• If you have a garage, use it
• Ensure security lights are working and your car is locked and alarmed
• Ensure all doors and windows are locked
• If you see someone acting suspiciously, telephone the police
• Join a Neighbourhood Watch or Street Watch scheme
If you have information relating to any burglaries or vehicle crime, please contact Bedfordshire Police, in confidence, on the non-emergency number 101, or text information to 07786 200011.
Alternatively contact independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111, or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.
At Bedfordshire Police our aim is "fighting crime, protecting the public."
We cover 477 square miles, serve a population of around 550,000 and employ in the region of 1,260 Police Officers, 950 police staff and 120 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). For more details about the force, visit our website www.bedfordshire.police.uk
Has an unknown vehicle been parked outside your house for some time?
Bedfordshire Police are urging residents to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious or abandoned vehicles in their area.
In recent weeks there has been a slight increase in burglaries across the county where thieves are looking for car keys to steal the homeowner’s vehicle.
Newer cars generally have a security system in place which makes it almost impossible for the vehicle to be stolen without the keys. For that reason, thieves are committing burglaries specifically to steal car keys and any other valuables that are nearby.
Detective Chief Inspector Steve Vesztrocy said: “One of the greatest tools that Bedfordshire Police has in fighting crime and protecting the public is the 550,000 pairs of eyes and ears that belong to the residents.
“As we continue with our attempt to lower auto burglaries I would ask for the public to remain vigilant and not to hesitate for a moment to report anything suspicious. Have you seen anyone paying particular attention to cars or houses in your road? Is there a car parked up that isn’t ordinarily in your street? Have you seen somebody driving a car that isn’t theirs? If so, let us know.”
If you have information relating to burglaries, vehicle theft or have spotted an abandoned vehicle in your street, contact Bedfordshire Police, in confidence, on the non emergency number 101, or text information to 07786 200011.

Police are asking all motorists to be extra vigilant on icy mornings to keep criminals out in the cold.
During previous winters cars have been stolen across Greater Manchester after being left with the keys in the ignition and engines running while defrosting them.
With low temperatures expected to continue throughout the winter, police are urging motorists to ensure that they are not the next victims to be left out in the cold by simply staying with their vehicle while defrosting them. It may mean sitting in a cold car for a few minutes but it’s a lot better than having your vehicle taken by a passing thief.
Losing your car may also be only be the start of the problem as many insurance companies will not pay out if vehicles are stolen after keys have been left in the ignition.
It is also worth noting that criminals are on the lookout for any valuables that are left in cars so remove them when you lock the vehicle. Even an old coat will tempt a thief as they may think it contains a wallet or mobile phone. Remove everything you can from view.

Some dickheads stole it. Also, if you found this photo by searching for "catalytic converter" or whatever and are planning on cutting these things out of your neighbors' cars, I hope you get caught and have an unpleasant experience in jail.

Never tempt thieves by leaving your car keys in sight.
In recent years Greater Manchester Police has seen an increase in ‘hook and cane’ thefts of motor vehicles. This method of theft employs a garden cane tipped with a hook. The cane is inserted through a letterbox or open window and the hook is used to pick up the keys to a vehicle and property.
Better vehicle security has made it difficult to steal a modern car so thieves have turned their attention to stealing vehicle keys in this manner. Once they have your keys, they can steal your vehicle in seconds.

Did you know 20% of all crime is vehicle related? 22% of which takes place in car parks.
ACPO and the BPA are fighting this crime with an initiative called The Safer Parking Scheme.
The Safer Parking Scheme is owned by the Association of Chief Police Officers,run by the British Parking Association, and aimed at reducing crime and the fear of crime in parking facilities.
Safer Parking status, indicated by the Park Mark® logo, is awarded to parking facilities that have met the requirements of a risk assessment conducted by the Police. These requirements mean the parking operator has put in place measures that help to deter criminal activity and anti-social behaviour, thereby doing everything they can to prevent crime and reduce the fear of crime in their parking facility.
The Safer Parking Scheme development managers work with accredited police assessors to provide expertise and advice to car park operators to improve standards and deter crime.
Encourage everyone - friends, family, colleagues, and members of the public you meet every day – to look out for the Safer Parking Park Mark tick when choosing where to park. This will ensure the facility has been vetted by the Police and has measures in place to create a safe environment.
-Quality management
-Appropriate lighting
-Effective surveillance
-Clean environment
