Someone I know set off several days back for Le Mans trailering the car he is racing in the Legend race on the Saturday. He pulled in to one of the toilet break stops, got out of the car and was immediately surrounded by a band of eastern europeans who relieved him of his passport, money, tools and basically anything portable. DO NOT USE THE "AIRES", ONLY THE SERVICE STATIONS WITH PUMPS AND SHOP on the motorways. The aires are not lit like the main stations. You have been warned.

Where about and at what time of day did this happen?
-
As you might have gathered, at night since he took a night crossing, and it wasn't far from Calais. They are after the passports to get into the UK apparently. But it doesn't take a Mensa brain to work out that the english are going to be at any stp they need to stop at, so they might be much further afield.

Have your wheel jacks at the ready then boys!!

Thought that might be the time and area.
When we were in France last Saturday we saw 3 guys, obviously migrants, waking along the the A16.

No wheel jack here.....just a can of expanding foam......that should get them worried. ;D

Realistically, probably very dangerous to try and protect yourself, best to make sure you have adequate insurance and the CA Guide with the Police details.

Reminds me of travelling through Yugoslavia enroute to Greece many years ago with a mate. Four pikeys surrounded us when we stopped for a pee one night near the Albanian border. Before I knew what was going on, my mate, the mildest, gentlest bloke you will ever meet had knocked one out with one single punch and had another on the floor and was kicking his ribs in. The other two just ran. He then took the knife from the hand of the first one and set off after the other two shouting ' I'll cut your F***ing hearts out'
We got back in the car and got out of there pretty sharp. My mate was shaking like mad, almost in tears and couldnt believe what he had just done, he had freaked himself out and wanted to go back to see if they were alright ::)
The stupidity of youth.

On that basis I'm topping up my tank and draining my bladder in Dover so that it's a non-stop journey
Have a safe journey all.
Can't wait 'til Wednesday!
