Frederick Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Now that diesel is £1.09 a ltr and petrol near that.... in my usually almost crime free village in Dorset we now suddenly find we have lots of cars targeted by night while on house drives for their fuel ..The lockable flaps forced open petrol caps drilled out and the fuel pumped from the cars ...Another 2 p a ltr tax due in the new year. Is this a sign of desperate people now priced out of being able to get to work having to resort to this ? ....if so...watch the crime figures for this kind of theft go through the roof everywhere in the new year ....I have to put £50 worth of diesel in my tank now to fill up...some commutors must be paying out a fortune each month to get to work from rural villages ...It wont be worth going to work soon for many of them if most of their earnings has go on filling up the tank .

Russethouse Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Our neighbor now has a small run around for those times she doesn't have all four children with her - the people carrier stays on the drive until they all go out together ( 6 people). Our Espace was £40 to fill, 3 years ago, goodness knows what it would be now. [:(][:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
