Oh and if you have a saloon and think your tools are safe, think again.

Shit times lad! Fucking pikeys. Was the stereo a removable face one? If so I might start taking the whole thing out of mine! Glad they didnt get your car though.

Yeah that's right, mp3 job and everything. At least I got given it so there's not real financial dent. Yet. Luckily they couldn't get the sub out the boot. Apparently bungies make it thief proof?

Hard lines mate. Scumbags. :evil:

Hope you manage to source a new quarterlight OK.
7.52pm: I'm jealous. I really wish that I was a) a Fulham fan; and b) at Craven Cottage. What a night for them. The players are still on the pitch, loving it.

FFS, wish people would learn you can't easily punch out a 300 door look, it's an 80s Volvo, not 90's Pug.

I don't know what I've got spare that I can give you chap, I havn't any glass atm, don't think I have a drivers door lock either. I might have a boot one, but it's on the island and will be hatch (not sure if they different or not).

FWIW, I can talk you through re-keying them so you are on the same keys all round still and how to change the quarter light, neither are hard but the quarter light does take some time.

Actually, thinking about it, me and Foggy got offered some parts yesterday, there may be glass in that lot. I'll do what I can to find out.

*EDIT* ECP no longer do door handles which is where I got mine 18months ago :( Also found why they keep trying to seel me redblock parts, their computer system is too clever and has been updated

Ass holes. Just been to check mine, all is well. Yep, im going to completely remove mine now. What utter "£$%^&**(!! Not gonna keep stuff in my boot now either.

Glad its not really expensive, and you you find a quarterlight soon dude.

Bad luck Mark.

Cant believe folk are still robbing car radios.
What is this, the 1970s?

I never ever leave anything in my car.

Spose that doesnt stop them popping the glass for a look though......

Seems to be a lot of this going on atm...
Sour times.

shit man!
this stuff really shocks me as it doesnt really happen down here, and if it did i would probably know who it was the next day as my towns so small everyone knows everyone and rumors spread like fire.

P.M your address and ill send you a boot lock and a drivers side handle if you cover postage cost, if you want.
