better than all the rest 153 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Anyone had any problems with this. When parking up i have only seen the usual kids looking for a couple of quid to keep an eye on the motor. Football fans are being targeted by thieves around Ibrox stadium during matches with police increasing patrols in an effort to catch criminals.Extra high-visibility police patrols have now been deployed as a result as officers try to crackdown on the thefts.The thieves are targeting vehicles parked around Rangers’ stadium in Glasgow’s Govan area, including Edmiston Drive and Broomloan Road.Police Scotland said “extra resources” were being deployed in the area and gave advice to drivers.Inspector John Haynes, said: "When parking, car owners should ensure all valuables are removed from the vehicle or, at the very least, hidden from sight."Park in a populated area where there are more people and vehicles passing and in areas with good lighting and CCTV cameras nearby."These simple actions should help stop a thief from targeting your vehicle."A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Officers are aware of the incidents and extra resources have been deployed. Enquiries are ongoing to trace those responsible."]http://news.stv.tv/west-central/264217-cars-stolen-around-rangers-ibrox-stadium-on-match-days/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerall 25,935 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Back in seventies went to our game at Parkhead. Parked up on a side street near some tenements, straight away a wee toddler about 3 or 4 came out the close, straight up to the car and started pulling at the hubcaps. Don't know if it had learned it from dad, or if it was just natural inbred kafflick behaviour..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,587 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I live in a match parking street for Bears. Windows (until recently - hasn't happened for the last 6 months that I've seen) are routinely put in. At one point it was after every match and it was never where the locals parked. Obviously mhanky bastards doing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuckthespl 2,507 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I know a guy that finished work later than usual the night dumfermline injured 4 of our players. He decided to go along to the game and parked his car near the broomloan stand and went to the game. Came back out and his back window was smashed and his work laptop and a couple of other things were stolen Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackyBear 16 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I don't often drive to games, maybe 3 times a season, but when I do I park in the grounds of the old school (or whatever it was) across the road from Ibrox library. Wee Asian guy stands at the gate taking fivers. Load of them set up in a wee caravan, think they do a car wash service there aswell. Never had a problem there Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
