They'd probably burn it out then...

IrishLad - sorry for your trouble.

I can't think of anything. I assume there's nowhere safer to park like a garage?

Little baskets have totally fcuked someones day for no good reason.

I knew a lad back in the day when cars were broken into/stolen on a regular basis who used to accidentally leave a pieces of plywood that had a lot of 6" nails through them on the passenger and drivers seats. These would be loosely covered with blankets at night and that's why he always forgot to take them out of the car (forgetful fella i know).

He was woken one early morning to the sound of shouting and swearing and when he went downstairs and out the front door lo and behold his car had been broken into. The drivers seat had the piece of wood on it and quite a bit of blood, The passenger side was missing both the piece of wood and the blanket but there was blood on the ground. He followed the blood down the road and was able to safely retrieve his piece of wood and blanket and return them to his car.

I told him he should be more careful and try to remember not to leave stuff like that lying around as someone could get hurt but he still managed to forget them every night for a good few years until times changed where stealing cars got harder.

Can't forget these loveable scrotes and their antics with stolen cars:

Put in for a shotgun license

Isn't there a film that covers this topic? Harry Browne or something?

in my experience leaving nothing in the car and an open empty glove box works wonders.
Anytime this has happened to a friend of mine it has tended to be a female who has left a handbag of it's ilk in the car.

I'm all for getting revenge, but just picking someone at random is a bit scummy do you not think?

Get stronger windows!
**** all can be done mate. Unless your willing to sit up at night and wait to see if they're about or if you've rough idea who they are go after them.
May aswell take law into your own hands because Garda won't do anything without solid proof

You can buy glass coating which sticks to the window which prevents anyone from being able to gain access to your car by breaking the window. I worked for a company that fitted this protective coating to the garda cars up in Phoenix Park. I had forgotten about it until I read this thread... you can see how it works in this clip.

An alarm?
In this case the motive was theft rather than mindless thuggery. If you had an alarm chances are they may have skipped it. After All, who wants to be searching through a car with an alarm going off.

That looks like a good idea not just for the OP but for the carjacking thread too.

Presumably you only need do the side windows?

Any idea of a ballpark cost DR?

Leave the car unlocked. No need to smash windows

Sorry to hear that Irishlad. Could you and others in the locality set up a neighborhood watch? I think that when you do and you inform the guards of the establishment of the group. Then a guard will be assigned to keep an eye on that area. Worth a try of nothing else.

It varies from supplier to supplier.. but I'd say you could get the 4 side windows done for €40 a window. You can buy the roll online, but you need someone to apply it who has experience of doing it. If it is not fitted properly it is not effective.

3m do a new range in the film.

Thanks for that. That's actually quite reasonable.

Get stronger windows man, I have windows in my BMW (Don't know if they are factory) that are impossible to break.
It took a windscreen repair crowd well over 10 minutes to put the drivers side window in one day when I had a key issue.

First he tried a small hammer and that didn't work even when striking full force in the centre.
He then moved to a larger hammer and even hitting this in the centre just mean't it was bouncing back at him.
Finally he used a punch tool to direct all the power onto one point in the centre, it still took about 30 impacts before it let go.

But even at this point it was held together by a kind of film and they had to dig their way through the window to gain access.

Scobes would have trouble dealing with that!
