Edit 3 in the car bliddy heck hope the police come before they go.

You can call emergency breakdown even without membership OK they charge more but thats the way it goes.



funny enough I said to him call the aa and he said its too late they dont come out this time of a night.or something like that


Rubbish. I'm sure they're 24-hour. (Or has that changed?)

Sounds like BS to me.

I'm with RAC I'm pretty sure they're 24 hour and I'm sure AA would be as well.

They are 24-hour and besides there are 24-breakdowns that the AA oursource to frequently when they cant get one of their own vans out. So yes its definitely rubbish.

You will probably be OK now if your ex has turned up and the dog was barking. But I would ask any of you elderly or single people in your neighbourhood if they had anyone knocking on there door. Just in case they are looking for easy targets in the future

The fact you're shocked about that tells me you need a London Awareness Course.

Stranger: Excuse me have you got the time?
Me: If you think you're gonna steal my watch you got another think coming.


Stranger: Excuse me, do you live round here?
Me: Why do you want to know? I've seen your face now, so if you think you're gonna be casin my joint dont bother (*dickhead)

This is so true for London unfortunately. Ive only worked there but, if someone speaks to me whilst I am going to/from somewhere is either a begger, a nutter, a potential mugger sizing me up or a tourist. Its not worth taking the chance of it being a tourist Wink.

Lockes... I had a friend scammed out of a good amount of money this way. Car broken down. No cash. Could she help? She was even stupid enough to go to a cash point machine with him when he promised to repay her and gave her his 'work' address and phone number (it was a Sunday)! It was daytime and she said he was well-dressed and well spoken blah blah blah... Grrrr!!!

Exactly. And if there were 3 of them in the car, they could have pushed it themselves. Others confirm the AA is 24-hours.

So it does sound like you have been told a pack of lies, all of which you can repeat to the police. It's a potential M.O. and the police may recognise it.

Did you get the car number plate?

Don't worry but make sure you tell the police your concerns and people in your area what has happenned. A person was doing scams like this in my area a while ago and allegidly robbed 70+ year old women and a disabled women. I do not want to go into the case that much as I am called as a witness. As I was the one that final caught the suspect and it has not gone to court yet.

You will probably be OK now if your ex has turned up and the dog was barking. But I would ask any of you elderly or single people in your neighbourhood if they had anyone knocking on there door. Just in case they are looking for easy targets in the future
