Car Cover Stolen

On thursday night my daugther woke me as someone was trying smash my windscreen for some crazy reason, they broke 2 in the road before I chased them of in the snow in nothing but a pair of jogging bottoms in the snow at 12pmMy car was parked on my drive and I live in a private cul-de-sac

Did you catch them?

Bare foot in the snow without a top on a gave it a good go but I lost themThe car seems unmarked just my sleep pattern damaged

Sorry to hear about your woes chaps.

I used to own a e36 evo and some little sh*te kept coming onto my drive and stealing bits. I lost indicators, then side strips, then my entire rear bumper... I then installed an alarm with motion sensors so they then took my wing mirrors. The only upside was that it got me into the 8 series as I assumed scallys wouldn't want bits from an 850, I was right!

I live in a nice area, this kind of cr*p really makes me want to leave the UK. I used to live in southern California and there was virtually no crime like this as you'd get your head blown off (rightly).

Sparkles, have you used a car cover before? I used on last year, as yours, tailored to fit the car exactly and well secured. However, with high winds there was the inevitable movement which resulted in small abrasions on the paint work. It took me hours of elbow grease to polish them out. This year I made sure I had given it a really good polish before the bad weather and then I'm going "naked"!

On the matter of theft - my work colleague had her house in Daventry broken into, everything of any value stolen, including jewelry and Christmas presents and all the keys to the house and her cars, but didn't steal the cars. She had to have the cars dragged onto a removal truck (they couldn't open the cars to take off the hand-brake) so they could be carted off to the main agents to have the locks replaced - a two week turnaround time. What were the "toe rags" playing at - to come back at a later date to steal the cars?

And, my son had his apartment broken into last weekend, again anything of value, TV, PC etc was taken.

This country has gone to the dogs! Sorry - getting political, but it is so infuriating when we work hard for our luxuries and pleasures only to have a social free-loader help themselves, usually causing damage and disruption in the process.

Happy Christmas everyone!

Damn right! If anybody tries to mess with me, my family or my cars, they will pay dearly

Yeah. breaking in is now very popular. Here in iceland there are nothing but break ins. Wasnt like this before the krisis

I too have a tailored cover but when I put it on in the summer because I was out the country for a month the local cats used it to sharpen their claws which resulted in a scratched nose cone. Having had it repainted in the summer I dont want to have a repeat so its in the shed for now.

Hey sparkles!

Sorry to hear about your theft! Someone broke into my 3-series on boxing day, and they stole...

A box of peanut brittle.

Don't look at me for the car cover, I don't have the 8er anymore

Nice to meet u briefly in passing, I'm sure I'll see you about!

James.

Hello everyone from Paris France,

Yes peanut brittle it is peanuts!
It is really weird sometimes and misunderstandable how come people act that way but i can assure you it happens everywhere throughout the world! As you say we keep our beauties in good condition and we try hard and some stupid b*****ds ruin it within a minute! At a parking lot or anywhere just because they are jealous. that's the way it is!
Hoping you find another cover. Thanks for the link anyway it might be useful...
Best wishes for 2010 anyway
