bastards. One kenwood cd player gone. One rear qarter light smashed. One dashboard with some nice scratches in it.

Like the dude at autowindscreens said to my mum... "you wanna chop their hands off and use them as ashtrays."

here's a better use for them:

Bugger Still, think yourself lucky.. woke up one morning last year to find my mum's isuzu trooper had been stolen during the night (locked up, behind closed gates, on a quiet road in a quiet village. Really not what you expect to happen..).. at least they only took the radio, although it's still a b***h...

Its a s**t when someone vandalises your car, really really sucks

A mate at work had his Saxo broken into on his driveway right outside his house, the robbing pikeys made off wth his floor mats before presumably being disturbed (they didn't go in the boot where the CD changer, football boots and 6x9s were). £800 worth of damage (basically a new passenger door and lock, fitted, resprayed etc) for a set of car mats worth no more than £12

Gutted. On the plus side, like GC says at least the car is actually still there eh?

gits! I bet the damage they've done will cost more than the value of the stuff they got? That's what really annoys me about these things.

when my mk4 got broke into once they took about £100 quids worth of some cheapo speakers, few copied CDs & a pair of wire crimpers I'd left in there. The damage they'd caused trying to get in cost me nearly £300 to get fixed (bent the passenger door around the handle, gave up on that a smashed the rear quarter window).

I hope they rot in hell.

I've always thought that, that'd cut crime!

Sorry to hear about the break in.

Thieving Scumbags - I had a similar experience and the damage caused nearly always outweighs the repair cost.

When the broke into mine I reckon what was left of the stereo wasn't worth selling!!!

I fell your pain. Can't go to my girlfriend's house without worrying about the car, since my Polo's stereo was taken last year.

And my car was de-locked (though the locking mechanism wanst' sealed, as it was supposed to be).

Damn thieves.

You guys are right about the damage - it always costs more than whatever the crackheads take from the car.

And that's on top of the indescribable feeling of walking up to your car and finding it *violated*.

Thieves' hands for ashtrays. As mediaeval as breaking into someone's wheels to steal maybe £20 worth of merchadise. Which will be sold at £5 since the thieves will sell the stuff to people who *know* that stuff's stolen.

a device that sends 50,000v AC through the frame for fifteen seconds a short moment after the alarm triggers, anyone?

i also feel for you

that moment when i returned to my car to find its window smashed and the radio gone will live with me for a while.

again, more damage caused to car than value of radio stolen and then an insurance company night mare to follow.



then the time i returned to my car to find someone had tried to bend the door off to get in (nothing of value left in the car this time)
presumibly they where disturbed by a sleeping tramp, a guy we call the 9p tramp who likes my mates band, randomly (you can google 9p tramp, manchester)
