What did they remove them with, hammers?

A small explosion by the looks of things.

I was concerned when I bought my Fiesta ST as thieves used to rip all the ST stuff off for their basic cars and leave the skeletons of stripped STs on garage forecourts. It was like an ST Disease.

A similar thing happened to my Dad in the early 90's. His Fiesta XR2 was stripped down, they took the interior and alloys etc. and even went to the effort of putting steelies on it.

I see many cars that have missing headlight washer caps, scrotes probably nicking it for the xenon look.

Frost does that, the water expands and pushes the caps off

Surely that is stolen to order. Someone prangs their own car. Mate of a mate who nicks alloys and is a general scrote turns around and says "I'll get them for ya".

fk me, that's atrocious, destroying the front of a twenty grand car to nick the headlights?!? Desperation!

Somebody tried to steal my rear windscreen a couple of years back. One day I noticed some holes around the window where screwdrivers had obviously been jammed in. It also resulted in slight damage to the quarter panels as well. BMW quoted over £400 to repair it! I didn't bother in the end. I was living in an inner city area at the time and damage to the car was a regular occurrence - nearly all vandalism. Very frustrating though - the car is covered in dents and scratches and not a single one is the result of my own doing!

A few years ago my crap old Punto suffered the same fate - insurance write off.

Did you claim on your insurance for lights that could be replaced from a breakers yard for £30-£50? What about your NCB?

A few years ago one of our neighbours had the windscreen smashed on his Fiesta while it was parked overnight. He got it replaced on his insurance. Two days later he went out to the car and found that the new screen had been nicked.

I had to admire the thought that went into that one! Imagine what they could do if they applied that sort of intelligence to honest work.
