Front bumper stolen - I could cry
« on: 22 August 2018, 21:19 »
Absolute bastards! Front bumper stolen from my car overnight whilst parked on the drive! Wires and pipe work cut to ease a quick removal.  I’m so fu*!ing angry right now it’s untrue

I think I’ve seen this on here before but this serves as a friendly warning to other owners.  I heard nothing and all I was left with 10 tori screws that used to hold the bumper in place.

Car will be recovered to a body shop tomorrow and I imagine a hefty bill/claim is going to follow!

That's terrible Fewie and yes, exactly that has been reported on here before. If you want to post an image you need to use a hosting site. I use postimage.org. Or if you prefer, pm me and I'll send you my email and I'll post them for you.

WTF? Why? To graft onto a lesser model?

Insurance company are recovering it, classed as undriveable.  Police gave me a crime number and little else.

It’s needs everything that’s missing, a new grill, headlight washer pipe work and loom repairs for fog lights plus another cut loom which I ain’t sure what it’s for, maybe the headlight washers or ACC?

That’s shocking Fewie. Absolute scumbags with no respect for other people’s property.

Hope your car’s back to normal very soon.

Strategically put razor blades on underside of new one.Just remember to remove them before servicing or resale.
