Ah that explains it. I live in Glasgow and never park in any of the multi story car parks. Its just not worth it. Not so much for things stolen but more for other drivers hitting the car or banging their doors off it.
Some folk have no respect.

What cheeses me off is this with the Disco3's I've had over the last 6 years I could dump it anywhere and it would be left alone. My last one had quite a few add ons that caught the eye and never thought twice about leaving it parked up, but now concerned about leaving the golf when out. Last time I was like that was back in my Evo and Scooby days and used to hate it.


btw....p3asa, you were right, £6 per cap  :angry: and £46 for locking wheel nuts  :shocked: although cheaper than replacing the Vancouvers.

jkp - it sucks when this happens - hate the fact that you can't have nice things that you've worked hard ofr wihtout some worthless scrote coming along and thinking "I'm having that" with no morals or thoughts of the impact. :(


^^^That £70 will be the best you've spent in terms of peace of mind and looks for the car - 99.9999% chance that you'll never experience anything like this again though which is a small comfort for you and Mrs jkp

All fixed (fitted) now and car's booked in to get cobra canbus alarm fitted next tuesday.

Does not feel good knowing that the GTD when it comes will probably get the same attention in the wrong areas of Scotland. I hate having to watch where you park but suppose just need to get on with it.

jkp:
Imagine how lawless Scotland will become with full independence. :shocked:
Time for you to move to Southern England for temporary safety whilst we prepare our invasion of Scotland to quell those ruffians. :evil:
Glad it is sorted for now, but our offer of help still stands. :grin:

och' mon we'll be fine under President Salmonds guidance   :laugh: Although maybe in 30 yrs time there may be the Gaddafi effect and the UN may be called in.

Suggesting a born and bred Scot should leave Jockland of his own free will to live south of Gretna  :shocked: I suddenly feel unwell at the thought  :tongue: :grin:
