Glass Everywhere.

OK! i'm not the first and I won't be the last but some low life has just heaved a brick through and had it away with my Sat Nav. My own fault! Jus once that I forgot to hide it!

 

Any tips or past experiences would be much appreciated.

Sat Navs are the latest target for the thieving scumbags, Ebay makes it very easy for them to sell stolen gear as well.

 

There are also too many people who are quick to buy stolen gear as well which generates more thefts.

 

I make sure I hide the sat nav mount as well as I have heard of people breaking windows just because a sat nav mount is stuck to the windscreen in the hope its in the glovebox or under the seat.

 

while were talking about scum, I had two exhaust backboxes stolen off my brand new car once,after they nicked the first one, I had it replaced and they nicked that the following night,

oh if only i could have caught them.................

You and me both mate!

 

It's not just the loss, its the sheer waste of time and money for the coppers they get for em.

 

I reckon that, with police time etc., this little lot will have cost best part of a grand, probably just for little fix of dope for the little @

on our old vauxhall frontera got broken into on a multistorey once -

Sorry to hear about the other losses. I just keep thinking about the times when it hasn't happened. I've been done 4 times now in 45 years.

 

First time was in1971 in central Coventry. It was an old wreck of a mini van with those high security :D sliding windows and briefcase quality keys. They couldn't start it because the battery was flat so they rummaged around in the back and eventually got away with a torch with a flat battery and a dogy switch having pushed it around the car park and failed to start it :o :o :)

 

Another time was in Plymouth about 1998 on rusty Montego when, having cracked the windscreen trying to remove it, they must have discovered the door with the fault lock and got away with a battered old briefcase which only contained a much thumbed 3000 page print out of an old Cobol computer program. I hope they enjoyed reading it as much as I did. :o :wacko: :)

 

Finally, again in Coventry about 1974, they nicked my wife's Morris 1100. It disappeared for a fortnight and was then abandoned in the middle of the road with all 4 doors open only a few yards from where it was nicked with about 10 miles more opn the speedo and a tin of baked beans on the passenger seat. We realised why they brought it back a few days later when we took it for an MOT and then wished they had kept it! :o .

 

It's almost worth the trouble just to think about how much pleasure they must have gained from their efforts. :o

;) ive had my car windscreen broken 4 times in a month it was on my old vauxhall we even saw who did it .I gave the police their names but they were not interested as the adult who did it got his wife to say he had never left the house all night :D

regarding police: we know a bloke who filmed his twin axel caravan being stolen from his drive way, even phoned the police while it was taking place (as they needed to remove two wheel clamps and a hitch lock) but police took no notice.

 

the caravan was never found, but he got a BRAN new one off his insurance :D
