x-posted from SELOC so apologies if you've read it twice...

Some loser has nicked the arial from El Beast - could have been anytime in the last week, but it was just the original black plastic one FFS.

Have no idea if it was done while the car's been parked up near the house or if it was when left parked elsewhere. Only noticed this morning.

Why bother FFS?

Are these a part from another car or am I going to get dicked for another one:wall

feckers!

Maybe they needed a clothes hangar? On the plus side, you won't be able to hear Chris Moyles anymore!

No words can console how much you want to rip the 's bollox off and shove them down their throat. If it's a girl, replace bollox for shirt pillows.

Same happened to me the one and only time I parked on the raod outside my old flat in TW mate. Stole aerial, valve caps, bent wiper arm, and tried to rip the hood off. The general british public, as a whole, is a bunch of assholes.
Tip: Don't go to buy a new aerial from the scrappy by McDonalds, mine cost me a fiver, the same as a brand new one from Vaxhaul over the road! The aerials the same as any corsa...

Exactly the same part as the S1 Corsa, although the thieving gits probably didnt know that.

Cheap replacement (under a tenner), should just screw on (unless they broke the mounting instead of unscrewing it).

Edited to add, this is the S1 Elise we are talking about isnt it? Not sure about the S2 part off the top of my head.

I wish that one day they could feel like us...and left other mans/gals stuf or properti alone...sometimes we live in a sad world they destroy together a world that could be easy a way better to life in world...but they only think of themselfs or thinking to shortly...or no thinking at all...
Hunt them down...and teach them some respect...if they won't listen..then #$&*^% erase them, where is the Eraser Arnold...I'll be back

Cheers Trunkie. Will nip down there later.

TBH, there's no damage so at least that's a blessing, it's just the annoyance of having to get another one and the stupidity of the act that gets on my nerves. I mean, I could understand if it was an Ali Bee Sting or something but a £5 Corsa part? FFS

UN..fecking...BELIEVEABLE..

had to read this twice before I could believe it. Why??? An aerial, just don't understand why someone would want to.

Bad news Tim, but maybe you could be tempted by a new aluminium one - has a locking screw. Saw one on EliseParts, although not as cheap as replacement Corsa one...

Andrew.

Bad news old chap... surprised you've not noticed when it happened though... the Aerial is such an ever-present sight in the rearview I don't think I could even start the car without noticing it's missing.... thankfully a new one's easy enough to track down from a wrecker's... I think they're from a Carlton or similar?

Indeed. Cheers for the sentiment. The new one has been unscrewed and is now safe in the pax compartment until I go out again. Ridiculous I know, but I'm not buying another one.
