I got into the car this morning, turned the wipers on & the drivers side wiper was not there! Thieving bastards.........
Of course, I didn't notice before the sweep so have probably put a dirty great scratch across the screen 
Happy New Year one & all....

[Lizzie Zoom]

Sorry to hear that!

I would say that is most unusual, as vandalism is one thing, but to steal one wiper, with I assume no other damage, is strange.

There are not many of our Omega's on the road, so for an owner of one to find another to steal one wiper...............??!!

Hope you haven't scratched the windscreen as that could be far more costly than replacing the wiper

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Stolen or dropped off?

Just a thought.

As Lizzie comments, it is quite unusual (and sad) to steal one wiper.

Someone once pinched the glass out of my drivers side wing mirror (on a mk3 mondeo no less!). Never had a wiper go though. 

[JDX]

I agree it's extremely unusual - never happened before - interestingly, the car wasn't parked outside the house as usual because we had visitors & we only have limited parking so I had parked it round the corner. So, it was on a side street, not directly outside a house in the middle of a well known parking spot for 5 or 6 cars.
Is it possible it fell off? I can't see how it could...

Knowing the town you live in, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Plenty of nutters around there. It could be worse though, you could live in Hedingham.

The different length of wiper might have meant the other was the incorrect one, maybe?



JDX - sorry to hear, this country is fast becoming a shithole

I have liked it here & have not had any previous issues really, although I have heard lots of stories - not sure how many of them are chinese whispers!
Do tell Albs, whats wrong with Hedingham?

Thanks, it's not the end of the world of course but in general I don't think things are going in the right direction.
When times get tougher, people resort to all manner of things much more serious than a wiper blade - no police presence on the street anymore, easy to get away with minor stuff I guess...

[Varche]

pretty poor stooping to thieving one wiper blade. 

[JDX]

Yes I agree but people will shoplift a, I don't know....a sweater or something from a store. Is there a difference?

A sweater probably won't remove the rain from your windscreen so well.

Castle or Sible?

Plenty of Loons wanting to kick someones head in in your town at the weekends. Particularly those from up White horse avenue end of town.
Hedingham used to be a sleepy little village 20 or so years ago. Its like the wild west now, with serious problems with drugs, vandalism, burglary etc. etc. Its been heavily infested with chavs at some point. Then there was the local millionare businessman who was shot in his own home by burglars a year or two back.
If you buy your local Gazzette on a Friday, theres usually several "crimes in Hedingham stories in there.

Well I assume you are talking about Essex, so what do you expect!

Only joking (or am I?) as I have many relatives who live there!
