Title: Broken into.
Post by twinturbo on May 4^th, 2007, 1:25pm

>:( >:(

Came out this morning to find my Scorpio had been broken into, some low life has smashed the drivers window, wrecked the lower dash, boken the column adjuster and stolen about £10 worth of stuff out the glove box..

So if anyone has a few bits cheap

It would make me a little happier

Bad news indeed. What IS it with these vermin who can't keep their thieving hands off other people's property? Hope you get it sorted. ;)

It's rediculous,

they have stolen what to me will cost £10-£15 to replace. To them it's worth prety much JACK!

It's cost me money ~£60-£100,
It's cost me my happienes
It's cost me the use of my car for 4 days
It's wasted police time...
It's wasted my mates time...
It's wasted my time.
It's wasted the wifes time..

I realy hope the police come good...

Yeah wife complians about car parts, so I threw out the Golf MK1 springs when I put the lowereing springs on the project car...

Thursday, her MK1 golf fails on a snapped spring!

Project golf now suspensionless, becoming an EX project in order to clear the drive for the scorpio.

Same thing happened to mine last year.

http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=OT;action=display;num=1159196430;start=0

There is hope of the Police coming through, despite what most people say.

The guy who did mine was caught, and went to court. Thats where the silliness happened.. a nothing sentence.

Hope you get fixed up again soon.

Oh, and I hope you get the feel of the car back again. Mine's ok, but it don't quite feel the same now I know that drugged-up scumbag has been in it. >:(

Well they did not turn up yesterday to do the window, but made it today.. Would you belive Autowindscreens have 2 fitters for the entire northern half of cumbria.

£60 lighter to them

Cowling and lower dash from scrappy £5 ( would not haggle down to £4 misserable S..D... And the only car in the yard had a black dash. So the lower dash is Black not pummice.. Not as bad as the other way round...

Bertie Sent a Trip switch over. So it's all more or less back together now..

Gave her a wash ( had to get rid of the fingerprint dust ) ...

Left her at my m8's until my drive is free again.

Spent the rest of the day breaking up the MK1 golf project.. Took the engine out.. She goes in the garage to be cut up tonight and the Sapphire 24V has to spend a night outside :( Still You would have to be mad to try and steal that with the virtualy non existant exhaust!!
