What is it with some folks
« on: 08 May 2011, 16:06 »
Had a meal in Glasgow last night, only left the car in a NCP type car park for a couple of hours, then came back to find some scrote had knicked the centre caps from the Vancouvers  :angry: No other damage on car thankfully apart from handprints on window where they have been peering in.

I did notice on the way in another 3dr Mk6 black with Vancouvers which was not there when I left  :rolleyes:

Off to stealers tomorrow for replacements and lockers, then onto audio shop to see about an alarm me'thinks, especially with the new kenwood so much on show.

Every time I go into weegieland something happens.  :sad:

I was meeting folks at Antipasti in Sauchiehall Street which was closed off at the motorway end for no apparent reason, so put the car into the Charing Cross car park.

Also bumped into the chap Malcolm Webster who is up for allegedly doing his two wives in at the moment, in the same car park  :shocked:

Sorry to hear this. Thank heavens you got off lightly.
It is such a mean and cheap thing to do but still so annoying and upsetting. :sad: :angry:

Glasgow Police ?!? No thanks, I'll just take relief in the fact that the replacements will only cost a tenner.

It was the wifes car and she was wanting blood. It is annoying but woken me up to the fact that it does not have an alarm and the interior is so much on display. Also going to look at getting some tints fitted.

I hope they didn't damage the wheels taking them off. They really need to be pushed out from behind.

It does make you question the mentality of someone who would steal a £10 set of center caps. It's a wonder they didn't get your dust caps whilst they were at it.  :rolleyes:
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

£10 for a set?  I'm sure I paid £6.50 for 1 from my dealer!! I was conned!!

I've also got 2 missing but I'm sure mine came away with the pressure washer  :sad:

I thought the locking wheel nuts (if that's what you mean) and alarm come as standard?
