STEPPING OUT OF THE BOAT in  the name OF       

BACK TO CRIME


The way probation and the social were treating me had helped push me back into the old firms arms (families) and By now I was already involved in car crime again. I had subjected Siana to this life style within months of meeting her. The money, cars and goods starting to flow in, we made a trip over to Spain in April, having only been together just over 2 months, the holiday was a great laugh and friends flew over to join us soon after we arrived, I had a 4x4 over there and a few quad bikes, we drove the 4x4 off road, driving to the top of a mountain, we would crack open a bottle of cava and the party would get started as we watched the beautiful sunset, I always used to carry Rambo knifes and it came in handy this time, I remember pulling over under a lemon tree in the mountains and Siana climbing onto the roof of the jeep to cut some down to go in our vodka and coke. Spain was fun and i loved it there. DOPE. As I liked to smoke dope I soon found some locals selling it, I was taken down a dark alley by some dodgy Spanish gezzers! My hand firmly on my knife in my jacket pocket I was expecting to get robbed, but to my relief he pulled out a lump of blow and not a tool. I would have cut his arm off had he pulled out a knife. Gladly I was back in the motor home with the puff and we got stoned and chilled out. Driving back to England took a few days in my parents Peugeot motor home, the motor home had recently been repaired after a bad smash into the rear of a lorry, I noticed the steering wheel had a Peugeot logo on it and thinking the motor home to be Fiat I rang the garage up threatening them for using dodgy parts eg the airbag being Peugeot not Fiat! I knew the fella and without a seconds thought I was threatening him for money! he straightened me out telling me the motor home was Peugeot. I got out to have a look and to my embarrassment he was right!I’d been driving it for 2 weeks and thought it was a fiat! That’s how off my head I was and hungry to extort someone for money. I now realise that I had passed so many fiat motor homes in Spain I started to believe our one was fiat!

Back in the uk i was flat out into crime again, and soon got locked up for my involvement in the theft of a BMW M3 cab, I was back in HMP Winchester on licence recall! With nearly 18 months left to serve on licence recall for the Bentleys I thought I was going to be in for another few years. I pleaded guilty at court and got a suspended sentence and probation let me out! Wow I was free after only one month, this didn’t stop me and I carried on mixed up deep in crime, with orders to satisfy I got busy...

(More detail to come) 

KEY PROGRAMMERS

Stealing any car was easy with this high-tech equipment. It would take just minutes to steal even the highest value MERCEDES,BMW,RANGEROVER. As I only got arrested for the BMW i can only talk about that one, it was late at night, I had entry cards to all the private underground car parks in the area, with orders in place I would drive round these car parks looking for prey. Spotting this Bmw I knew I could sell it to one of my buyers abroad for 20k! Getting into the car was easy using the look pics I had, the door open and the alarm going off, I had to plug the key programmer into the service point under the dash board, it took seconds and once plugged in the device did its job, I held the new blank key next to the device as the light flashed from red to green, 30 seconds later the key was programmed! The key would now start the car just the same as the owners key. Before moving the car I pulled the glove box out and removed the RAC track star GPS tracking device. Then I fitted the New number plates and our driver drove the car to a safe location. arrangements were made for it to be sent abroad. Having sprayed the whole car in WD40 to get rid of any prints or DNA the car was left parked safe for a week awaiting transportation to leave the uk. During this week I used a local lad to move the car for me to my secure lockup! days later the police found it! What a coincidence?! And a finger print of mine was found on the outer glass! Thinking back I can’t see how as id sprayed the whole car and wiped it down real good, gloves were not always an option as they attracted attention if people see the gloves being worn or the police did a routine stop check, having gloves in the car could make the police do a deeper search and we didn’t want that. The WD40 was bullet proof but only if it covered the parts that had been touched and on this occasion I made a basic mistake that got me arrested. I put it down to be so busy!


ORGANISED CRIME

HANDS ON. I would end up going out myself managing the team, I just couldn’t get the right stock using street thief’s and this put me in danger of being caught.

Trackers have never caused me a problem and taking them out is all part of the job, this is where amateurs make mistakes, they don’t take the trackers out, that makes buying Cars off the local thief’s a problem. let me give you an example. Lots of people can steal keys to cars from houses, these are known as millennium thefts, where the car keys are stolen by either fishing for the keys through the letter box using a bamboo stick or just by burgling the house and making off with the car. Some big cars would be stolen by some young boys, Bentleys, range rovers etc. I would regularly get offered cars I could make good money from, however dealing with these thief’s brought trouble, most of them would grass on me when they got nicked, they would tell the police who they sell the cars too in exchange for bail and a lesser sentence. Secondly these amateurs didn’t know how to take trackers out or change a set of number plate! The times I would try to train them up was all a waste of time. Finding a clever thief was hard. How hard could it be to change a set of number plates!? Some of these fellas had been stealing cars for years but never evolved. I would provide fresh clean number plates and explain where the trackers are hidden, give them exact orders only for them to ring me at 4am offering me a 5 year old version of the car I told them I needed that had to be no more than one year old. They would tell me it was a year old and try to disguise the age using the later year number plates I had given them, they would also lie saying they had searched it for a tracker when they hadn’t! These people were dangerous and jeopardised our business, far too risky to deal with on any level. I would get up and put some of my lads together to go collect the car thinking it was new, one look I could tell it was 4 years old! Scrap! The thief’s couldn’t understand why it had to be brand new or under one year old, to them it was new and shiny. But to a customs officer looking underneath it looked old and rusty! I would send the cars out as brand new! Using invoices from the manufacturer to clear customs. I would change tyres and make the car look brand new even having the mileage reprogrammed to tie in with the invoice, I would put 000009 miles on the clock, this also made the import tax cheaper in the country I sent them too. The levels I went to were second to none, I would go to Mercedes, BMW, Range Rover etc and get the foam and wrap off the brand new cars stored out the back and put it all on the vehicles I was sending out, I would even copy the manufactures bar code stickers and to take it to the next level I got “don’t open” stickers to go over the door, bonnet, and boot gaps, these stickers were what Mercedes used to make sure only the driver’s door was opened, it was a security measure and worked wonders for us. To any customs officer our cars would look like they had come straight from the factory! I never lost a car!
