I had some stuff stolen/goods taken without payment at the pimpama vw swap a couple of years ago(3/4 roof rack no legs).And today at the same swap a lovey old bloke had a split kombi air cleaner mounting assembly stolen out of the back of his ute.

Rant over but again i hope you get Cancer you theiving Bastard.

And i dont do face book or anything anybody that want to copy this thread and put it where lots of people will see it please do so,thanks

Cole I have to admit the integrity of the VW clan has fallen over the years, unfortunately there are a lot of "people-vw enthusiasts'" who want your parts that you have purchased at some stage(and are willing to sell to someone who needs them)for nothing and will stoop to a very low level to aquire them from you whilst you are talking to someone who may be a genuine buyer or otherwise engaged. Gone are the days where you could set up a stall and walk away to have a chat or a cup of coffee and someone would be waiting for you to come back. Keep the faith there are still genuine VW enthusiasts out there but they are getting thinner. I cannot say that I disagree with you.

Its not new, I have had stuff stolen at swap meets and shows over the years too, I have also had VW parts stolen from my house.

In 1992 on new years eve some arse wipe stole a pair of brand new Weber 44 idf carbs, manifolds and linkage straight off my Kombi, it was parked in my driveway, cut all the wires and cables that were in the way and unbolted them, never seen them again.

I bought a few bits and pieces off you and your prices where very reasonable, why he felt he had to steal is just Sh"t

Don't give up on swaps I love scratching through parts

May he get ball cancer

Like i said im done with swaps,the price of petrol and the hassel it isnt worth dealing with,and all the shit i have china doesn't make.

I believe overall, the VW crowd is pretty good, excellent at times, especially when someone is in trouble.... We all like to help our fellow VW owner but like any hobby etc with many hundreds of interested people plus all the other people who go to VW shows etc.... there is going to be a few who will steal if given the chance... and any parts stolen have probably been sold or used on a non volkswagen.... or even sold interstate...

But the majority of Volkswagen owners are a pretty good crowd... I'm still meeting many nice people... like at Nambucca heads and at the swap meet at the showground .....
