I would just like to say that you really are a fool...

Screwdriver the door (creased), then break the glass...well done

Remove my (considerably cheap) sony stereo....well done

************

leave my laptop (considerably more than stereo) on rear seat..well done

leave my subaru jacket...well done

leave the keys to my van (that is parked round the corner) in the glovebox....well done

Well, I've learnt a few lessons (Lost the it'll be ok attitude). But i wonder if the criminal mastermind that did all this last night has.....

Please feel free to have a laugh at his expense

Had similar thing at Uni in 1996. I had a D-reg Cavalier CDi to runaround in, handled like a pig, due to dead shock absorbers combined with lovely 195 section remoulds, it was the only front wheel drive car I could four wheel drift. Lots of tailsliding front wheel spinning fun to be had on greasy roundabouts.

Anyway some idiot broke into it, and stole my bowling ball of all things. Completely useless for anyone except me, due to my out size hands and fingers, it even had my name engraved onto it. But in the frenzy to ****** the ball they left my Ray-Ban sunglasses, 60 quid in cash and a 100 quid Walkman. Maybe they got disturbed as they broke in, but I prefer to think of them as being complete fcukwits.

Probably kids...

Police said i was the ninth person they'd been to this morning..
Another example: Someones work van full of expensive tools...what did they nick...£3 & half a packet of ****...well done

With the price of **** now, they were probably worth more than the tools

Bad luck

I once had my car smashed up while I wasin Manchester, by some little gang boys who managed to steal a windurfing harness.

Can't imagine they even knew what it was as there aren't many places to windsurf in Moss-Side. Wonder how much cash they got for it? None probably.

Bad news Paul, sorry to hear it so close to the engine resolution . Ring me later on m8 and i'll pop up or you could even pop down later on. See what happens yeah?

Haven't got the car back yet! Almost there though as its on road test.

I went to watch Bottom Live at the Apollo in Manchester a while ago, and on coming out after the show had finished, I couldnt find the keys to my scoob

Fearing the worst I legged it to where my car was (on the waste land at the side of the apollo)

Imagine my relief when I saw my car in all its glory, and the key in the drivers door !!!

In my car that night, was my passport, driving licence, house keys, and cheque book !!

It was a company car, and thankfully nothing was touched, but I imagine that any would be theives would have thought it would have been a jeremy beadle style setup

Never again wil i leave anything in my car, esp my keys in the drivers door !!

Sorry to hear that.My muppet thief experience.
Happened in south london in my GolfGTI. Was going away for the weekend so put my surfboard inside car.Came back after work to find glass smashed on window.No stereo nicked, but they had tried to take the surfboard..Now wouldnt they look slightly conspicious walking around Brixton 120 miles from any water LOL. Muppets...

I had a similiar experience about 6 years ago whilst visiting a girlfriend at staffs university. I had a beaten up polo (F reg) and had travelled there from working in london swapping 256k pentium pro's for 512k pentium pro's at a fancy london film studio. Probably worth about £20k at the time, as well as some hard drives memory ect. ect. for some bizzare reason I thought they would be safer in my car under my new jacket than in the halls of residence.

On the Sunday morning I went back to the car to find the portlight window smashed, and the volume & tuner **** ripped off the radio and some marks where they had tried to nick the stereo, they didnt manage to steal the stereo.

but the did leave my new coat and all the many computer parts it was hiding on the back seat. Thank god as I would probably of been sacked for leaving them in my car.

*****.

reminds me of the time I had my car done..They broke the window to get in but the central locking was bust and the doors were actually unlocked...

Huh! Thought you were going to show us a pic of him being eaten by a large dog or summat!

Brendan Hughes

Of course they left your laptop, they realised you didn't work for the MoD...

Beefy

Sorry to hear about the break in

Theres no sense to these things, I had an old daihatsu charade diesel and parked it up in Leeds whilst playing footy. Some kids smashed the rear window and nicked the only thing in the car which was a bag of washing containing mainly dirty underwear Bet the kids had fun when they opened that little "bag of goodies".
