it did have CCTV installed by local police at my wife's request. Only a few members of staff knew; him, being the caretaker, was one. Funnily enough there was no activity during that time.

A few months later when the cameras were removed, it started again....

What a thoroughly nasty, creepy individual he sounds, he needs stopping before it escalates further. I appreciate you have to tread carefully and always consider what's best for your wife but if he had a "vendetta" against my wife, he'd know I knew, and be more concerned about his own welfare than what car she drives

ooow, mind your handbag out the way.

I was thinking of a length of 3/8th chain lashed round he back axle of his car coiled up and then anchored to a lamp post, just long enough for him to get second gear before it pulls tight and BANG.

Trust you

I'd be a bit more subtle, just a bit mind

Sorry to jump the thread - (lovely S8 by the way, probably the one car I'd consider selling my '02 A8 for!) - anyway, I'm a teacher and, as I drive an A8 with a private plate on it, I too get remarks from many members of staff - especially the site team - about earning too much, more money than I know what to do with yadda, yadda, yadda. Funny isn't it as it's probably worth less and costs less than all the i20's on £250 a month finance deals in the car park!!

Anyway, free bump for what looks like a great car. Best wishes and positive thoughts to your wife.

Dan

Exactly that. It's interesting how a car can have such an impact on people's perceptions and send out so many false signals. Do these people every browse Autotrader to check out the second-hand car market? Obviously not.

I can't wait for the comments from staff when she turns up in what's replaced the S8; a Range Rover. A bargain compared to what you'd get on a lease.

The S8 was sold yesterday to a guy who came down all the way from Newcastle. Hopefully he'll introduce himself on the forum soon; he's aware of it and I vouched that it's a great place to spend your time.

I asked him that if he comes to sell it, give me first refusal. So for now, my S8 owning days are over. I'll still keep an eye on things here and thanks to everyone for any and all advice over the last year and bit.

There were 3 very serious buyers. One was prepared to come up from London on Sunday afternoon if the Newcastle chap didn't show up.

I'll be back. Probably in a D3.
