Post by: DubUpYork on 14 June 2006, 19:38
not the best of days for me today .  parked up somewhere for 20 minutes, got back to my car to find rear side window smashed in. CD player and head unit nicked, Digital camera, sony PSP, my bag with all this years college work inside it. oh and all my CD's. bah if i ever find out who did this  !!!! gonna try my best with insurance company but i bet they try f*ck me over. cant believe it was done in daylight with so many people around that area. most likly answer is chav's but hey...cant blame em for everything.

No, you can't blame chavs for everything, but I think some of that was your fault tbh.
NEVER leave valubles in the car ! :rolleyes: It also helps if you leave the glovebox open too.

yeah they're bastards I know. And there will allways be !
You only learn by you mistakes I guess. Remember you have a desirable car which attracts them. Once attracted they will take a chance at anything. All you can do is remove valubles, leave the glovebox open (so they can see inside) and get an alarm. :sad:

This sux...really feel for you :angry:

I never leave anything in the car at all, yet some little scrote smashed the rear screen of the Bug in at a really nice country hotel...took nothing as there was nothiong in it, even had the original head unit so they could see there was obviously no amp/better speakers in the car...new punishments for any car crime should be worked out via this equation, The Hypermonkey Formula of Retribution.......

Owner of the damaged car+baseball bat+10 mins in a soundproof room with thieveing scrote=little scrote who might think twice next time.

Hope you get it sorted soon though chap  :sad:

Gutted for you mate, it's a sickening feeling I know as well!

I had me Fiesta written off (see thread in nonsense) and stuff nicked from inside, some by the recovery/garage! :angry: Luckily nothing too important. My only hope of being up on the deal is if I can sell the parts to make up the £200-odd shortfall. That's if the nobheads at the insurance co haven't already done that themselves after I told them not to.

I'm having to put serious thought into security systems for my Golf. I am thinking along the lines of an engine cut-out, a few booby traps (CS gas and the like) and a mobile phone to send alerts. I'm a bit of a tech head so it shouldn't be too tricky. Oh and an air rifle by my flat's window :evil:

I really REALLY hope you have backups of the college work, and it might be worth asking the network admins at college to see if anything you did lose is stored on one of their backups somewhere. Good luck with the insurance, and hey, at least you still got your dub!

gutted for you hun..had it done to myself with nothing on display and an alarm and it didn make any difference tbh..if they wanna nick summit they will, even, like mine, its just the cd bit without the face on.. :rolleyes: :angry:

Dinx :kiss:

Post by: DubUpYork on 15 June 2006, 10:17
yeah its pretty pointless them stealing ur cd player without the faceplate on it. it was one of the rare times when i actually leave it in the glove box this time.

anyway... been on the phone with the insurance company and its bad news !!! not covered for anything stolen from my car so im now £300 worth of stuff down and a whole year of college work :( insurance is a joke... im paying over a grand a year and it doesn't cover things been stolen or even replacing my window

Post by: Dinky on 15 June 2006, 10:31
thats why u should always read wot exactly it covers and ur excess..sumtimes the cheapest policy is not the best policy..
and yes, insurance sucks..
