Spent the evening taping up windows with polythene.  >:(

???  Whats happened ??
Thieves smashed windows and stole an iPad in a school bag and her lap top out of her Lexus while it was parked in a school playground for her niece .

One of two incidents the same this evening according to hobby bobby expert nob head that's been round here the last hour and repeating everything 3 times.

They where extradinarily lucky, two incidents, both Esate rear windows and got electrical goods both times.

Wonder if Blu tooth or wifi was left on. :-\

Bastards,I hope they catch them but I don't suppose they will.  >:(

Always a shitty thing to have happen :-\

If you do find them, might I recommend a nice long soak in a bath in a mild acid solution, dried off with loft insulation >:(

Any cctv :-\

So far have changed the radiator, rebled the clutch and fitted poly bushes to the front ARB. Currently waiting to get the tracking dealt with (yes I know ::) but will be going to WIM in the next month).

Removed s/l shocks and s/l sensor from the breaker.Quite enjoyed it once I got the overalls on for the first time in months.
Whetted my appetite for another breaker doing the jobs needed on my own car.

I have Changed the timing and drive belts, sheared a bolt on the water pump pulley then spent ten min's swearing. Then a few more bad words when i broke the nipple off the emission vacum box, then felt a bit better, when i remembered i had a spare.


Then I Fitted  a new car stereo and cut my hand feeding the microphone for the handsfree kit behind dash, thought at this point a coffee break was in order , Feeleing better after a coffee.


Then I knocked my head leaving the garage, and a few more choice words, Gave up for the day and opened a bottle of Chianti, now slightly drunk and i really dont care anymore.

CCTV shows them scanning for signal along a line of cars furthest from the cameras. I don't think it would have mattered if the car looked empty. They would have smashed to boot window anyway.

Moral is, don't leave devices on in the car at all. IMO.
