    walked out to the car this morning, to find the lock broken, and a load of wires pulled out of the ignition, in an attempt to hotwire it.

    F*CKING SCUMBAGS

    Car is fit for scrap now as it was a 94, and will prob cost more to fix that what the car is worth. This is just great, first i lost a job, now, no car

    Sorry to hear about your car.

    If it was me I'd leave it exactly as it is and see what happens. ;)

    I feel your pain.
    Something similar happened to me twice this year.

    My car's nothing special either, which makes it all the more baffling.

    Not a nice feeling.
    Were the guards helpful?

    Probably won't cost a whole pile to fix to be honest. These people are your friends.

    They came out in a half hour, still waiting on guys to try and take finger prints. I doubt they will get anybody for it, and if they do, what will they get only a slap on the wrist

    That is pathetic. A 1994 car. It's the car robbers equivalent of beating up a poor elderly lady rather than robbing a bank.

    They would have to kill somebody with it first then get a suspended slap on the wrist. Sorry to hear about the car - that sucks.

    happened to my husband years ago but the battery in the car was dead so they couldn't get it out of the drive way! the guards came, took a piece from inside the car and said they'd be back in touch, never heard from them again and then when my husb tried to get the piece of car back, they knew nothing about it!

    Scumbags love old cars for some reason. I was getting back to my car parked at the back of DCU in Santry a few months back, only to find 6-7 scumbags around it, some pulling the door handles, others sitting on the car or having a look around. A gang of 15-18 year olds.

    Guess I got off lucky, managed to get into the car and drive off, with just insults being thrown at me. Another 30 minutes and I wouldn't have it anymore... And it's a '96 micra for god's sake!!!

    Claiming anything for that on a 94 isnt worth the money tbh. Bloody insurance companies.

    Unfortunatly old cars are much easier to steal.
    They tend not to have immobilisers,central locking,alarms or prgrammed keys.
    If you have an old car and no alarm for it,get a length of big,thich chain and secure it to the wheel with a big-old padlock.
    They might be able to cut the chain but that means they'd have to bring a bolt cutters with them and carrying one alone will get them nicked.

    That's perfect, you can use it to learn car mechanics.

    well the reason they went after my car, as its a 1994, no alarm. The bonnet was open so they must have had a bit of trouble trying to start it. I live in a fairly quiet estate, never see too many scumbags around, just the odd one.

    2:07 into the video, this is how i feel:D

    Not being bad like, but I'd say you had too :pac:


    Take it as a sign.. the universe was telling you to let it die with dignity. Or something like that.

    hmmm

    take any old car you can put a carrot in it and the door opens like some sort of magic...

    Exaggeration slighty but any car pre 97 and some further up the scale are all easy to open if looked...

    Take the honda civic.... even if its locked you can pry the driver's side indicator stick a coat hanger in hock the bonnet pull pull it thus opening the bonnet disconnect the batty from there you can break the window bend the door back... figure out the alarm if it has one.... and from there break the steering lock, and of you go... welll more or less
