This is the shocking moment a brazen ‘car cannibal’ walked off with a stolen bumper after a dad’s motor was attacked for the second time.
Jeremy Merckel woke up to discover his beloved Volkswagen Golf GTI had been stripped for parts outside his home.
Thieves had torn the bumper, headlights, windscreen wipers, grille and even the bonnet off his £17,000 motor.
Footage from Jeremy’s neighbour’s Ring doorbell caught one of the crooks casually walking away with the bumper over his shoulder.
The car was parked outside Jeremy’s home in Sutton Coldfield, West Mids., when it was attacked at around 2am last Sunday (16/3).
It is the second time car cannibals – who target certain motors to strip for parts to sell on the black market – had targeted Jeremy’s car.
In September 2023 the dad-of-three had parked the same Golf outside his home when it was stripped bare.
The marketing director now says his insurance has skyrocketed thanks to the two thefts and expects his renewal quote to be over £1,500.
