Got an idea for next month's banner?
We were away for a week and left it on the side of the road. Doesn't look like they were particularly competent, as they ruined the ignition but didn't manage to start it.
They left quite a mess, bit annoyed to be honest.
Oh, so they're the ones that left the crumbs on the floorboard?
Smh probably why they couldn't finish the job, too busy snacking.
Actually, yes. Looked like they ate quite a bit. There were half eaten chocolates all over the car.
Are you sure it wasn't actually giant rats? Looks more like their modus operandi to me.
Same thing happened to me in January (Fendalton). Broke the quarter window, bent the panel, and made a mess tearing the ignition out.
Seems to be a pretty safe crime: police didn't bother coming out to look & just gave me a reference number for my insurance.
You'll lose your no-claims bonus.
Pretty much exactly this. Bit of a hassle really
Probably thought it was a Kia.
Suburu also have this issue. OP might have an updated model which needed the hotwire
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but the first thing I noticed was how dirty your interior is.
It also looks like Edward Scissorhands tried to steal your car.
Yeah, they left quite a mess - it was pretty clean before. Don't know what they were eating but they left it everywhere. Admittedly the mud is from me :D
Exact same thing happened to NY suburu last month. Excess is greater than the cost of fixing it, so this is permanent for me.
That sucks!
