enigmatic puzzle - Who Stole My Friends' Car?? Help!


Help! Last night my friends' new car was stolen!


I'm pretty sure it was one of the gangs that hang around here, and they've been a bit cocky. Where the car was parked, they spray-painted the following on the ground.


I'm sometimes the last gear, and sometimes the first


But I can't make head or tale of it, and nor can the police. Can you help?




So you found out who stole it, how about trying to find them?




Answer



The gang who stole your friends' car are called



THE BAD LADZ
