Well, had a great day at work on saturday; Leicester smashed forest 3-0 :D) an had a big night on the ale planned straight after...that was until I left the ground to get my polo, to find some scum bags had smashed the lock in an pinched my brand spanking sony bluetooth stereo, gti gearknob and gaiter, and even a pair of gloves, my air freshener and some shrapnel in the coin drawer. The passenger window had also been forced open and wouldnt go back up.

I am considering myself lucky that it was a relatively neat job, but I was still absolutely fuming!! F***ing little pikeys!

I was able to force the window back up, and the central locking an alarm still work fine so at least it can still be secured and is driveable for my uni commute. Also managed to bodge a new gearstick using some rubber hosing and jubilee clips over the spike that was the gear stick, then a bored out skateboard wheel as the knob; actually works really well! But Im still looking for an oem one for a polo gti, vw want £86 inc vat for a new one!!!

Hoping the stadium security have got something on CCTV, wouldnt wish this on any of you an Im releived they didnt completely trash my baby! :(

Dude thats really unfortunate,i hate hearing horror type stories like this.Im always so careful where i park nowa days,big spaces at supermarkets etc.

Some people in todays society have no respect for other peoples belongings what so ever.Scumbags indeed.

Id never be able to enjoy a night on the ale after that happening to me,hope you source a gaiter/gearknob.

This bloke is selling one for £20
