Thieving Fookwits
Went out to my car this morning and found my self Click Here and Minimise Got broken into last night. Missing 2 licenced radios and my Garmin 276c all hidden in the glove box. There were other things that could have been lifted however I think that it was a case of smash window, open glove box, nick whatever and run. If only they had looked in the cool box there was £1,500 cash in there
Autoglass replaced the window this afternoon and finished just in time for the car to be collected by LRA as the EGR valves have gone.
For the first time LRA actually said it made sense not to send out an engineer as the car clearly needed recovering. Waiting for enterprise to deliver a D3In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Not that bothered TBH. What really annoyed me was the fact that I got up at 05.00 to go to Hammersmith then on to Norwich and ended up going nowhere. I could have had a lie in. There were several other cars nailed in the area last night.
Oh DG The money helps to keep the beer cool when the fridge is not running.

Horn and we never heard it Having said that the thief clearly did as he/she didn't hang about. otherwise he/she would have spotted the spare key in the front cup holder What was strange was the fact that they placed a wheel cw tyre on the floor under the door. We have come to the conclusion that the thief must have been very short as he/she needed something to stand on to reach into the car
Oh and no I don't sleep walk before you start In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
