Some little F**KERS broke into my car...
Couldnt steal the DVD Sat Nav Stereo so smashed the screen instead :sad1:
-
sh*t, sorry to hear that. Was it the factory unit?
:fighting:
-
Thats awful mate I really feel for you! :sad1: Some people really are scum, I hope they get what they deserve! :fighting:
-
Nope...
F900BT in there...
Now I need to get it all sorted, and decide if I need to claim or not :(
They even smashed the climate control displays up!
-
Really sorry to hear that mate, I hope they get everything they deserve :fighting: :fighting:
-
I advise you claim mate as i know how it feels.

Not including the headunit it was over 1000 pounds worth of damage. I went through insurance as it was just to much to pay out myself!
Hope you get it sorted :happy2:
-
Oh no. Sorry to hear. Hope you get it all sorted!
-

When i get around to fitting my other climate control with comfort heater, i have a spre with heated seats buttons

Sorry to hear about this mate. I hope it doesn't cost you too much to sort out.
2 weeks ago someone stole my fiance's stereo out of her mk4, except they damaged absoluelty... nothing! They carefully removed all the trim, the stereo and cage then sorted through her cd's deciding which ones to steal and which ones to leave :confused:
Makes me realise how lucky we were. It only cost me £80 for a new head unit.
I really hate theiving scum, but I hate malicious little f**kers even more. If they can't get something these days, they just smash it up. Makes me wonder whether car security is worth the hassle :sad1:
-
Did,nt you hear any alarms???.
My first GTI (MK4) got the same treatment.. Big gang steamed the whole street at once.8 cars at the same time.I never heard a thing. :scared:
They only took my snowboarding coat so was,nt as bad as yours.

Didnt hear anything at all!!!
What I will say is that they didnt know what they were doing and came only for the DVD Unit, which like I said they didnt know how to take so Smashed the display up! I had loads of kit in the car, NOW REMOVED! but they didnt even open the glove box...
-
Sorry to hear that. Its a horrible thing to come back to and discover. Scum, sub-human scum.
Can a replacement screen be purchased through Pioneer?
Im sure its the same on the mainland, but in NI insurance companies really have you by the balls. If you've got protected NCB and make a claim, the premium still goes up regardless. Its not really worth the extra of protecting them.
-
gutting to hear fella :sad1:
how did they gain access? when my RNS510 gets installed my F900BT will be up for grabs if you want a replacement?
i assume you reported it to the police?

.........sorry to hear the bad news mate :sad1:.As others have posted will you go through the insurance ?.I've only just started to protect my no claims & when i hear things like this i'm glad i do.
-
Really sorry to hear about this, quite surprised your alarm didnt go off?? :confused:
I advise you claim mate as i know how it feels.

I take it you had an upgraded Head unit in that Civic, beacuse the standard stero's are about the worst i ever had so i guess they didnt steal that?

I have just been quoted £75 for the window replacing, which isnt too bad!
Theres parts in the car which need replacing on the console...and the stereo, its the stereo which is going to kill me...
-
Gutting news for you mate. Scum like that should tortured until death.
-
Sorry to hear this mate, these mindless thieving bug*ers really are the scum of the earth.
Best of luck getting it repaired and all back to normal quickly.
Kev

Thanks for all your comments!
Replacement Window for £75!
Now I just need to know the cost of replacement parts for the centre console :( Currently looking at about £300
It's as bad as I first imagined, but it's not something I should be paying for!!! The little f**kers who did this should just keep there hands off other peoples belongings!!!

many moons ago i went to meadowhall in a 1 week old mk5 escort xr3i (130 bhp model had only just came out ) never seen it again ! sheffield is not one of my favorite places !!!!!!

my first trip to london in a car was my new 205 1.9 gti, limited laser green - same story :sad1:
-
Hate the theiving tw4ts, who probrably call themselves car enthusiasts :surprised: if they actually had the brains to workout how to get your stereo it would triple the value of the Nova/other chav mobile it was planned for
We work hard to get decent cars, i am by no means minted and spend a large percentage of my income (after mortgage etc) on my ED30, stories like this makes me question if its worth it.....
Gutted for you mate
-
i had a 205 1.9 gti too but i had the blue one , fantastic car in its day :happy2:

-
Sorry to hear this Tom :sad1:
I feel for you. Just had a £375 re-spray done due to vandals, so know how you must feel.
-
That really sucks mate, sorry to hear that. People that do such things deserve to be hung by their short & curlies. Why should the innocent people have to fork out for their lack of respect.
-
know how you feel mate. Hate this little f*ckers. I was livid enough when my works van got done over and they stole the sat nav, my house keys and only 20 pounds. Would have loved to catch the little **** in the act.
-
sorry to here this mate :( :fighting: :fighting:
-
Barstewards........ :fighting:
That will be the money you got from the sat nav away on a window then? Nightmare......... :sick:
-
really hate people who do that!!!
been broke into twice not a good sight :\
-
This is so awful, sorry to hear it happened to you... it's things like this that make me worry about my GTI everytime it's out of my sight. These people are pathetic low lifes who will never be able to have what we have unless they steal it, it makes me so mad, wish I could beat the to55ers to a bloody pulp actually, it makes me so angry!! :scared: :scared: :scared: Hope all gets sorted quickly for you and things don't work out too expensive.
-
Had the window replaced today! £50 fitted :happy2:
Will be taking the door apart in the morning in order to clear out all the glass...
Also, need to order a new rubber seal and a new trim for the door...another £50 gone there!
Think I've found myself a replacement DVD Unit and also a replacement climate control unit from a couple of forum members :drinking:
-
Sorry it's late but I'm really sorry to hear about this. I had the same in my mk4 anni! It's awful to find your car in that state.

Alarms just too quiet to hear! I set it off myself the last time to test it, it was that quiet I was able to talk over it!
-
FFS, shocking :fighting:
Yep!!! When I saw it I just wanted to cry!!!
-
oh im gutted mate, really feel for ya
-
mate thats shocking, i feel for you.
Where abouts do you live?
-
Sorry to hear that mate, sounds like you're definately bein targeted lets hope someone eventually catches the barstewardss and gives them what they deserve
We own a construction company and our sites get broken into a lot, vans get nicked and plenty of tools, in fact one site got done on saturday night about £5000 worth of damage and stolen gear etc police just don't want to know...complete waste of space when it comes to catching people especially when pikey scum are involved...theres your crime no. claim from your insurance is all we get from them.
You thought about upgrading the alarm to one a bit louder than you can hear? Or parking the car somewhere a bit safer if possible?
Hope you get things sorted and that it doesn't happen again.

Crime Reference Number...ROFL!!! I've got so many of these already! Sick of them, all I hear when they read out the Number is that my insurance premium is going to go up!!!
Yeah I need to make the alarm Louder, just not sure how to go it and keep the OEM key kob! :stupid:
Either way, I'm no looking to move houses!!! :sad1:
-
FFS, shocking :fighting:
Yep!!! When I saw it I just wanted to cry!!!
This is terrible!
Doesn't the MK5 have deadlocks? So how can they get in without opening the door? Through the window? :fighting:
Can't you get that clear security film that stops windows from smashing?
Really feel bad for you and angry!

Yeh they smashed the Window!!!
I'm looking into the security film, but it only slows them down! Basically a normal window takes 30 seconds to smash and make a hole big enough to get in, the security film makes it harder and takes it to 90 seconds!

Where do you live??

There is a way to have an alarm fitted and use the standard keyfob my dad has a clifford on his car and has the standard fob, maybe try source sounds they're the only decent audio/alarm place i know of!
It is very sad when you have to move house due to theiving scum
-

They didnt take a manual with them the 1st time to get the radio out. Theyve come back for what they wanted the 1st time.
Sorry to hear youve been unlucky AGAIN.
Wind film is a good idea to help slow a break-in.
Sort out the Alarm aswell.

Thats what I keep asking myself! End of the day they cant find any finger prints and theres nothing they have found to track anyone so nothing they can do! They just do the paper work and thats about all I see / hear of it TBH...
-
Really is shocking!!
Where abouts do you park the car, is it far away from the house?
I have a garage but its around 250 metres from the house so i park mine on the street under by bedroom window!
I feel for you though not a nice experince to have over and over

The house has a private car park behind the house, which is only about 10 meters away, but the alarm is so quiet I dont hear it, as I am in the bedroom at the front of the house...
I'm thinking about just sleeping in the back room so I can hear whats going on!!!
-
I have full telematics hidden im my car (full realtime tracking), which i can track myself online, however i am not so sure if i would want my beloved car back if it was retreived wrecked!

Damnnn, you need to take some action now mate, beef up security etc, but tbh theres not much you can do to keep your car safe if someone is really intent on you and your belongs, other than garaging the car.
-
install a new head unit, a fooked one, with a tracker on, see where it goes!

clever idea, then round up the loyal and go round there. Actually wait thats wrong, then ring the police, but knowing them they will sit on the info too long, and by the time they do anything it will be too late.
-
the police wont do jack sh*t, they'll only arrest you if you go about it the wrong with the loyal! ;)

Good idea, but it'll mean another smashed window LOL!
-
man thats horrible.
Given the number of times youve been targeted I would be considering a few things...
'friends' that know when youve replaced things
installers/shops etc you frequent
online forums and profiles
any other 'online information' ?
all can give out information to would be thieves.
Just a thought.

Yeah I know theres definately alot to consider! At the moment I'm looking to move pads!
I know its someone living in the area because there is only a couple of ppl who know I have had a new unit in! I kept quiet about it you see...
Not happy at all!!!

Just caught up with this! :surprised:
Really sorry to hear about this pal! :sad1: Lets hope things start to look up for you very soon!

Sorry to hear you have been done over again. :sad1:

Do feel for you mate, only just realised that there was a second incident discussed in here,
Though I do find it slightly harsh that you and some others here are turning the anger towards the police. I have been in the police for 3 years, and know how difficult it is at times, and how frustrating it can be when it seems nothing is being done, but more often than not, it is that there is so much going on that police are simply unable to give incidents the full attention which you believe they deserve. Because to a victim, no other crime is as important as there own.
