Headlight washer thieves
« on: 23 November 2006, 22:35:55 »
Ive noticed on a lot of cars on ebay that you almost always see them with the headlight washer jets missing, :'(  They have either been nicked or fallen off somewhere,  >:(

Now the question is, How in the hell do you stop people nicking them or falling offf the car??

Anyone

I knew a guy once wired up his car to a spare battery to shock any would be intruders - just as well he was stupid and never got it to work.  :-/
