Only a matter of time
Got rudely awoken this morning by Plod at 4am this morning to find this..
The little scrotes on mopeds were disturbed by next door and got away empty handed thankfully, but not before they had done 2 other cars in the street.
My main worry is that no alarms went off in all this, except for a 'whimper' from mine as my neighbour put it.
Any ideas why that is?
They stretched in and pulled the glove-box and the central caddy open, so there was movement, and it was definitely locked.
Apparently, Autoglass have to order the window in, so I will have a perspex sheet for the next 24hrs, secure eh?

b ds , sorry to hear about that.
in actual fact looking at that, the perspex will probably be mor secure. If you can get pollycarbonate instead of perspex they wont break it again in a hurry.CLUB "Ah Shor it'll be grand"

Damn them
Make sure Autoglass spend time getting glass out of the door panel. Mine still rattles like a tin box of frozen peas when you close the door.
Did they open the lower glove box ? Mine was left untouched. Either they couldn't reach it or didn't know the D3 has two.

Actually they opened the lower one, but not the top one which had my SatNav in . They took the walkie-talkies which they then threw at next door as he chased them.

Ok, let's see if I can remember......
Ignition on, then plug and unplut your seatbelt 7 (?) times in quick succession. You get a bong, and hey presto, no more annoying seatbelt bongs when you're driving your curry home 8)Disco 5 HSE Lux
