Had the nightmare call this morning on my way to college:

Hi is that Dave Bishop
REPLY Yeah who's this?
This is !?><>??1 >><?>"2
We have just found you car!
It's been stolen, the good news is i'm with your girlfriend and her Mum and it would appear the theives got to the top of the road before abandoning the vehcile! Can we talk to you about this other the phone?

Ensued a conversation of aout 10 minutes telling me in agonising detail what the little "expletive" have done!

Thankfully this was my second K10 not my Baby which is something but still doesen't make me feel any better about it!
I've spent hours stripping the interior and replacing it, getting new locks, fitting a heater system and countless other bits and bobs the exterior of the car wasn't perfect by an stretch of the imagination but was starting to look pretty tasty with sideskirts and the body kit bmpers front and back and was hoping to repair the sills and repair the blow from the exhaust, then it was just rewiring the headlights and sidelights! then MOT time!

Now because someone took a fancy to it that has gone to waste as while breaking in they bent the drivers side door and the passenger door open and have completely shagged the doors as a result because of the rain the new carpet is messed up and one of the door cards looks a little damp, they've messed up the passenger side lock and the key now won't fit! They've busted the drivers seat and the screws that hold it in place. Torn the ignition barrel appart and smashed the cowl to get it started! The interior looks a state the stereo has gone as has the tools i had inside it theyve yanked the plates off, both of which were found and they smashed one rear ligt and smashed a headlight!

The lucky thing is and which probably saved the car was the noisy exhaust which probably put them of leavng the close where my girlfreind lives, the scary thing is that it si quite a nice area and the car was parked on her rear of the house parking. The neighbours didn't here anything but apparently there was some HOODIES hanging round late last night!!!

On the bright side i still have the car and the bodykit still looks ok prob gonna need some love but i'm not looking forward to seeing it in the daylight to find out what i'm gonna have to do to get it straight!

Sorry for boring you all but i feel better now i've let it out!
 
Sorry to hear that!!! Really annoying when you have put that much work into it, for it all just to go to waste. Hope it gets sorted though mate and they can catch them, so they got what they deserve. Bar stewards!!! :(
 
Cheers police have dusted for prints but i reckon im more likely to hear who did it!!! Should be fun if i do!!!

or her head maybe?

no how u feel, had my old escort broken into, then it got nicked a few weeks later. even with the immobiliser
 
thats a ####er mate :( replacing the doors however is easy i have lots of tips for making the car more secure chap. let me know if i can help
 
Cheers mate, the doors isn't the hard bit, it's the colour as the car has been sprayed a bluey purple hence the heart ache! Any tips on making the car more secure is a wicked idea!!! Might be an idea for admin to look into having a car security section with stuff like alarm info, ideas on making your micra less nickable and a section on all our horror stories! Might be good for all of us to be reminded that are pride and joy can catch the eyes of others! Since this happenend to me (a whole day and a half) i'm already considering disconnecting the battery at night that should slow the bug*ers down!!!
 
well i had my door bent open once chap an i came up witha very simpe way to reinforce the door, basically sopt weld a square rod inside the hollow bit of the door, this would make it a lot harder to bend the door open, the green area is where the rod would be put inside the door, should be easy to do.

see pic

also remove the door pins and the rods they attach too! but if you ask me the best thing to deter would be thives is an alarm, even a cheap one! mine was £100, has remote central locking an imobileser internal sensors, shock sensor the microscan an213 from motorworld, its nothing amazing but deters the kids, at the end of the day professional theives wont waste there time, they are all to busy stealing bmw's and mercs lol

obvisously the rod would have to be high grade steel to stop it bending easily, it probably wont save the dorr from damage but it will stop the bastids getting in ;)
