Utter thieving scum.

Some horrible scrotes broke into a family member's car this morning and stole a load of stuff.

I'm not pleased.

And ideas how "fixable" this is by bending it back into shape...?



Or how much a new door is likely to be?

Cheers...


ETA: 2004 Peugeot 206

Thanks for the bits and bobs of advice.


I might well buy a new door at some point, but it's not my car and it's a long way away - I just wondered if anyone (and they have) could offer first hand "bent the door back" advice.

Also, apart from scrappers, I wondered if anyone knew what a new one cost... this might go through insurers.

Maybe.

Well, I've got the door back into shape.

Two things strike me as interesting:

1> The Police were more unhelpful than you can imagine, with two promised phone calls and two promised visits from a "forensic team" - neither of which materialised, whilst the car sat, unlockable, in it's st state, on a public road for three days. Good work.

2> Apparently the simplicity of bending the pillars to gain access on 206s was mentioned on Top Gear recently. The first Police Officer that answered the phone asked "was it a 206?" as soon as the crow barring was mentioned, and went on to explain that there is currently a surge of this kind of forced entry on this model of car. Good work.
