Driller thrillers

In November 2009, holes were drilled, at night, in the fuel tanks of a number of cars in Kingston, Surrey. On 04 November 2010, a person was convicted in Court 8 at Kingston Crown Court for the same theft of fuel and criminal damage, which was substantial. Other car owners in London and Surrey might have suffered similar damage in the last several years. If so, it might be worth contacting Met Police, Kingston, and also insurance companies. It might reflect on future no-claims consideration.
