I've just had they joy of coming out this morning to find that my white indicators on my Sport had been screwdrivered out and kindly removed by a member of the scrote population.

I'm assuming that its an easy thing to tealeaf, and as such how can I make sure that it doesn't happen again without resorting to tactics whereupon I kill the scrotes?

Yours incredibly annoyed,

Neil

when you have slid the indicators in to there guides pop a small screw through the top guide and into the indicator,this stop them being slid out and all you have to do to remove them is unscrew the screw.

Nice one thumbup they are not expensive to replace, but its bloody annoying. My only worry now is what else they'll help themselves to...

I'm pretty sure I've lost an exhaust trim to the wrs, and I'm sure they'll try for more...

Either:

a) digital cctv

b) a perimeter-sensing, pager linked alarm; coupled with your choice of weaponry.

Also, if you have M-style bumpers, fit shear nuts to them so they can't be unbolted in 3 secs flat. Also, maybe, add a microswitch to trigger the alarm.

I know mate, i know. BUT, the M3 will not be going for a Cerb. I love the car far too much to get rid of it.
