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

SV · 13-05-2009 02:54PM

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?

MagicMarker · 13-05-2009 02:58PM

Well now that you have no job, where ya planning on driving to?

Rowley Birkin QC · 13-05-2009 03:00PM

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

Shop? Find another job perhaps?

Saibh · 13-05-2009 03:03PM

Sorry to hear that.

Can you claim anything from your insurance company?

Puddleduck · 13-05-2009 03:04PM

Check how much itd cost to fix.

Vain · 13-05-2009 03:04PM

Its a sign from god telling you your new career is to become a mechanic firstly by fixing your car.

Job interviews?

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!

netman · 13-05-2009 03:14PM

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!!!

DonkeyStyle \o/ · 13-05-2009 03:16PM

I'm not a doctor, but they should have the wires pulled out of thier spine :mad:

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

Degsy · 13-05-2009 03:21PM

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.

chrisp2281 · 13-05-2009 03:23PM

You shoudl put some horrible stuff on the underneath the door handles for them if they come back. I suggest dog sh*t

:D:D

8k2q1gfcz9s5d4 · 13-05-2009 03:28PM

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.

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

SRFC90 · 13-05-2009 03:39PM

Tough break. Ya auto be locking up your car better in future though man!. I think it is my civic duty however to offer condolenses. Terrible thing to happen to anyone. Just scumbags trying to Impreza their mates no doubt. I'm sure you're findin' it hard to Focus on anythin else so heres to hoping to can a aford to get it repaired!

I am so, so sorry.

Maybe we shouldn't turn this thread into the Haynes guide to breaking into old cars.
