Never. Had 2 attempted thefts of a previous car and attempted armed car-jacking on the scoob though.

I park in safe places and dont use car around the city anymore though.

Last year when I owned my scoob I had the following stolen:

1x set of standard MY00 sidelights
2x sets of Crystal sidelights
1x grille from a MY00
1x Standard MY00 grille badge
2x sets of crystal headlights.

Never caught the tossers, and got sick and tired of replacing parts and sold the scoob!

Cavalier, two break ins.

Llantrisant: Through the door lock and nicked the radio (not removable) and my tools from the boot.
Swansea, Uplands: Wheel trims nicked.
Swansea (near Penlan etc): They broke in for the radio but it wasn't there. They left my cheque book and wallet, four speakers and an Alpine amp that time but nicked my Brains SA baseball cap.

Citroen AX.

Mytchett, Surrey: Driver's side mirror ripped off overnight and a foot sized dent left in the door.
Farnham, Surrey: Fat **** sized dent in the bonnet after someone sat on it (by the looks of it).

I don't leave anything in the car now if I can help it. Leave it somewhere unusual and something can happen to it.

Had a Ford Escort Diesel van nicked in Liverpool.
Had a Ford Escort Diesel Estate nicked in Liverpool.
This happened 5-6 years ago and have had no trouble in the pool since.
The Police never recovered the vehicles but thought that they were being stolen for their diesel engines and then broken for spares.

Had my Cav GSI broken into 3 times and it went missing on one of those occasions. Got the bugger back though.

The first time it got broken into they sheared the steering wheel off and I had to drive it home with a pair of mole grips!!! Damn scary!!

Has the rear spoiler stolen of a classic scoob, police actually found it during a drug raid on a house in the next town, buried in the garden along with another spoiler, a scoop and a puschair !! :LOL

They offered me it back 6 months later once the evidence had been finished with, told them they could keep it

I had my '96 2 litre sport stolen outside the house. Think they went to great lengths - forced passenger door lock, physically pushed the car with another to the end of the village, then went about taking the cowling and steering lock out. Couldnt start it tho coz of the immobilzer!! So left it on the side of the road minus the cd player. I saw it after ringing the police about 500 metres from the house. Its surreal when you wake up in the morning and your cars not there, especially when u dont hear a thing.


Second time - someone really buggered up the passenger door lock trying to break in - didnt get in tho. This happended in broad daylight, on real busy road outside Uni of Bradford!

Had the lock blanked off with a metal plate and filled in. The only mod... Only way in now is thru the drivers doorlock or a window.....

Bloody annoying - only had the car 1.5 yrs.
