Wow!

I saw a video where the front bumper on an omega was found on the ground in front of the car one morning. No thieves were involved, it just fell off in the night.  :)

Yeah but where you live thieves are so dumb they'd take the bumper off and leave it there then steal the whole car ;D :D ;D :D

The video is superb "How the crime was committed." I've never seen a car taken a part before  ::)

saw this on a crimewatch programme recently. they had a cttv of two guys completely stripping the front end of a corsa, walking away with wings etc.  also over 500 cars in the Bedfordshire area have been targeted.(all Vauxhalls) To me judging entirely by the attire worn by the culprits I would start looking for a gang of east Europeans, probably with a luton van parked not too far away.

I guess you're pretty safe if your Vauxhall is very undesirable snot green.

My father had a Ford Zodiac stolen many years ago, when recovered next day the lights had been taken & the air filter & housing , cheap way of getting spares I suppose !!
