Low Life Scum...
« on: 10 February 2015, 20:41 »
<rant>

Came out of work tonight to find my passenger window smashed and my car without its RNS510.  :angry:  cables hanging out the window :cry:

Broken my window trim and at the minute glass everywhere whilst I wait for the police to come out to me. 

Whilst I was looking at my car a bloke came up and said he'd seen a couple of lads hanging around my car.

I'm going to ring the insurance co. soon but at the moment I'm thinking I don't want them to replace the stereo as the thieving scum shots will just come back for it.

pi55ed off doesn't cover it

That's crap news, thieving little b*****ds.  :sad:

It's a tough decision about replacing the stereo.  On the one hand you are risking them coming back for the replacement, but on the other, why should you change how you live just because of some scumbags.

If you do replace it, is there anywhere else you can park it for a while?  Also any cctv covering it?

Sorry to hear about that chap - some people are just scumbags. Hope you manage to get her back to how she was before without too much effort and money :(

Thanks both

Just got off the phone to the insurance / glass people.

Luckily the car is tucked away in the garage tonight and waiting for new glass in the morning.

Hopefully they've not marked the bodywork and it's just the black gloss trim that is damaged and they've not bent the door.

Happens a lot that's why I have not upgraded to the rns510 dab, was thinking of going kenwood or pioneer route, a lot cheaper and you can take the front off, maybe an idea!

Had mine taken a year ago in a cinema car park at half 3 in the afternoon. Old lady saw it, they had it out in less than 2 mins.

I decided not to replace as it will only get knicked again. I havent missed it too much. You just cant have owt nice.

Cheers guys

Feeling a bit calmer now.

Police want to finger print car tomorrow so will drive to work with no glass in  :sad: as they don't want me to touch anything. Window guys coming out to work first thing too.

Door has scratches / marks on it from where the scum has lent in rubbed broken glass into the paintwork.  :angry:  I'll need to give it a wash then assess. Black car with gravel rash on the top of the door is not a good look.

I'm sure I'll find lots of bits of glass for weeks to come.

Worst thing is that it was outside work so can't really park elsewhere. I'll see what the insurance company say - might just put the RCD310 back in. Will miss the unit if I do though and half of me is thinking the b4stards will have won. Have had the thought of changing the car to get one with a truly integrated stereo (I'll see sense soon!)

Could be worse - no one hurt.


One question, when the sh1ts plug it in will it have my details in it as in SatNav recent destinations and phone numbers?  (I didn't save my home address in the Sat Nav)
