Viral thread on a UK car forum
 
What a scummy retard!

http://www.thisisbath.co.uk/Thief-bo...#axzz2O1euJxG7

A thief who stole £40,000 worth of tools from a van in Keynsham has been bombarded with prank phone calls after boasting about his crime on an internet forum.

Back then the victim’s friend posted details about it on the www.lancerregister.com car enthusiast forum, along with a picture of the vehicle, which had its door peeled back.
However, yesterday morning Griffiths went on to the site and posted his own message explaining how he had committed the crime and how easy the prison sentence had been.

He posted: “well it wont a giant tin opener used it was a recking bar dissconected battery wot a **** alarm system well might of got caught 3 in the morning by the feds but if i dint see the fedi would of been the new snap on tool man in town worth the 2 months prison sentance did it standing on my head best bit about it when the police open up my van doors the tools fell on ther feet.”
The post prompted an angry response from users who quickly traced Griffiths and published his full name, address, mobile phone number, email address, Facebook profile and pictures of his family.
When contacted, Griffiths said he had been putting up with a lot of calls from people, who had been swearing and verbally abusing him.
He said that he had not meant the post to come across as boastful but had been trying to offer van owners security advice to prevent them becoming victims of crime.

I've just been reading through, that is an awesome opeice of chav bashing. Some of which i don't agree with, but ayway highly amusing, especially the bits where people have been signing him up for all sorts of callback services.

Someone ought to go and wave at them from the ME.
