Vehicle Security

[Guest chris brown]

That is not funny

The next thing they will be doing is listing all your purchases over the last 12 months to make it even easier for the local yobs. :gdit: :gdit:

[Guest Battery Bill]

Phew The only thing they had for me was my Choir website

 

Here

 

Funny I cant remember doing this

 

Really though its terrible that this sort of crap site can exist :gdit: :gdit:

[Mitch]

is this not against the data protection act ??

 

Anyone know who we can report it to and have it closed?

Unfortunately the electoral roll is a public document which anyone is allowed to inspect.

[Guest Battery Bill]

Thats wrong, it should be a private thing between us and "His Tonyness"

 

I do my own little "Electoral Register" protest and never send it back, eventually someone has to make the effort and come to the house

Childish I know but its my little protest

[Peter Bell]

Enforcer, many thanks for that site I now know where the bloke that stole my car lives! The case fell through in spite of all the evidence as apparently the brief for the police got the wording wrong in court! The BiB were not best pleased, still he was held for about 2 months before the hearing. :angry:

That site doesn't show anything for me. There is a box on the electoral register you can check so you don't appear on the edited register. In theory these type of places should only be able to get the edited register. Judging by the results of my search the theory held up.

[Guest salty_monk]

Has me... but I'm at the wrong address...

[Guest micky bigthumbs]

it got me even the phone number ..poor old richard and Dredd who have probably got lotts of admireres have got their addresses on the open net

 

Bloody hell

[Guest Bazwaz]

Big brother might not be watching...but he knows where you live!

[Guest vacinc]

nothing there for me ( bloody great ) i hate imfo about my self, beening seen by anyone, not that im a private person, its just the point of the thing

[Guest Drewsus]

Hasn't got me either, but like Bill not very good at sending back the form!

 

Found out you could get details from 192.com as well if you register for free after someone decided to threaten my mum a few years back. In short turned out to be virtually impossible to keep your details private whilst executing your rights! :gdit:

 

And on the topic of security........I'd say an immobiliser would do it. An alarm will make lots of noise and be ignored! A decent immobiliser will Isolate at least to or more circuits making it hard for some one to start your car. But with any kind of time if they want it they'll have it, after all how many times has anyone questioned you for fiddling under the bonnet in a car park?

on the topic of security i think it would be worth someone making a gear lock for 7 type cars. on the quantum i had the gear lock was fitted as a factory option by quantum. all you could see on the car was a little barrel that stuck out 2 inches from the tunnel. stick it in gear, turn the lock and it stays only in that gear. so no fast get away if parked in the open, and if you parked it facing a wall, and put it in a forward gear it wont go anywhere. cant understand why these havent appeared for sevens, unless theres a technical reason.

 

as for the B4u website i agree with mitch (on the new thread) if it bothers you, suggest that there is a legal reason why they should remove you. One of the provisions of the Data Protection Act is that information kept about you is relvant and up to date. therefore if you found information that was out of date, as several have, you could threaten them with the law for failing to abide by this section of the act.

I ticked the "no publicity" box on my electoral form and it seems to have worked. This I am glad of.

 

What about these tax discs then? Anyone had one nicked?

[enforcer]

I've just bought a 'secure' one from ebay, but they can never really be secure. I guess I don't have any intentions of parking the car up and leaving it for any great period of time. It might sit on the forecourt of a country pub whilst I maintain a discreet distance on a picnic table nursing my pint of orange juice, but right now that's about as far out of my reach as I'm prepared to let it go!
