Title: bloody little thieves
Post by: Plomien on 06 October 2008, 09:16:45
Woke up this morning to one of my neighbours knocking to advise that my DS Back window had been put through and stuff had been nicked out of my car,
suppose its time to see how good my insurance cover is grrrr.

dont forget to phone your local plod, if they are anything like ours they might turn up in 5-10 days :-/ but you will need a crime number for the insurance company, lets hope the little sods dont get a bad fix :y

from what i can see they had my prescription sunglasses and a few Cd's (most are copies so no use).
still waiting for the police SOC to turn up and autoglass to call back £50 excess, plus will go and get an alarm fitted today as well

They actually turn up do they.

Arround here they just give you a crime number and tell you to contact the insurance company.

dont tell the police the cd`s were copies, theyll probably nick you for a copyright infringement :D, good luck with it all anyway, :y

SoC have just been no prints left, also a car up the road was done over as well.
just waiting for auto glass now and its bloomin raining, plastic bags over the window to keep it dry.

The CD's were copies of ones in the house so not a problem, more annoyed about the window and prescription sunglasses as they weren't cheap.

There's no need mate >:( >:( Probably hundreds of pounds for a back window & just a few quid worth of stuff. Ask the nieghbours to look in their gardens, because when the little Tw4ts realize they've nothing of value they'll throw it. I hope they die soon of an OD :y

So true.  People take no notice of alarms these days (unless it's your own that you hear).  I remember a TV prgram on 5 planting a car and having someone break into it in broad daylight outside a busy shopping area.  Loads of people going past and nobody's bothered.

My missus never understands why I take everything out the car all the time.  I had someone smash into my car to steal just a pair of bloody sunglasses once.

Hope they catch the little bar stewards and string them up... bring back public flogging.

there was nothing on show that was the annoying thing.
think rather than an alarm I will just get one of the fake LED things fitted as I can buy a self fit alarm for £30-50 but to get it fitted I was quoted for £250 for a cat 1  :o

Same here - a smashed window for the sake of an envelope - nothing in it!

I think you made a typo  you said " most are copies"  i think you mean you had about 30 new cds stolen from your car along with your ipod leather, jacket, laptop and your wallet .  remember and get a crime ref number from the local plods for your claim   :y

Looks really good - just wonder either how expensive or how genuine it is?

I only claimed for the window otherwise it affects my NCB also £100 excess on the goods inside plus £50 for window it all adds up.
The insurance have my crime ref number, it seems there was a number of cars around the area done over last night. just hope someone saw something but it was after 2:30am as the car owner down the road from me was up until then and their car was attacked as well, quite a few had nothing taken though.
also have to wait until tomorrow to get the car as they didn't have the window in stock, but its locked up in their garage for the night as I had no-where secure to store it

Don't fit security film!!!

In the event of an accident, if you can't open the doors and the car is on fire, you will need a means of egress. In the Youtube clip, I would imagine that the 'brick' being used was quite soft and crumbled on impact. A centrepunch would still break the glass but would allow the fragments to hold together thus still stopping entry to some point but still requiring replacement.

Contrary to popular belief, toughening (tempering) does not make the glass any stronger, merely more resistant to bending forces.
