As a (lapsed) scouser, I'm vaguely amused. If it wasn't so true it would be genuinely comedic. 8)
Reminds me of that old Scouseland urban myth of the guy inside his car swapping in a new radio when parked up in one of the more unsalubrious areas of Liverpool, well let's just say it- Kirkby, when all of a sudden he feels the car move a bit and the sound of scallywags voices outside. He removes his head from the glove compartment and steps out of the vehicle only to be met by a gang of snot-nosed knock-off Taccini-clad scallies huddled around his offside rear wheel and asks, in a fashion becoming uniquely to Scousers - 'What da fook are yuuz lot doin' ??' whereupon in a similarly erudite manner the youths reply; 'Well mate, if you're avin' the radio, we're avin' the wheels!'

I'm still a Scouser, and my dad was from Dingle/Toxteth area, so knew some bad 'uns...along with lots of people who looked like bad 'uns but weren't.
I remember one weekend at the bakery where my nan ran the shop, and we saw a delivery lorry stop at a pedestrian crossing and a young just-about-teenage lad legged it across the crossing, went around to the back of the lorry and cut the security seal on the rear door. He quickly climbed in and appeared a few seconds later with a box about the size of a VHS machine or amplifier, then started to leg it again but right past the driver's cab.
Of course the driver sees him, and legs it after him, only for 6 or 7 older lads to appear from around the corner seconds later and almost empty the lorry of the rest of it's load before the driver reappears.
Never did get offered anything from that load though :x
