Whilst myself and Quedos popped in for a quick pub meal before hospital visiting, some lovely scrote(s) decided to help themselves to the contents of my car. :evil: Broad daylight on a busy city centre street with a stoplock and alarm. They must have thought that my plastic windscreen mount for the pocket PC was an exotic piece of SatNav kit and decided to chance it. It's all much publicised at the moment.
We parked at 18.01 outside 116 West Regent Street, Glasgow and upon our return, found the passenger window smashed and the usual- rear seats folded down. Several items of value were left behind by them and were all plainly obvious. No radio equipment was removed- it's obviously not worth enough these days. It would seem that they were after a TomTom "go" unit or similar, which some people may leave in the glovebox, in the boot or under the seat etc. Not something I do. They took my denim jacket and wonderful Aldi Tank Bag (which was in the boot). Thankfully, all my house and work keys seem to have fallen out of the pocket due to their weight - they must weigh more than our "Northwind" :shock: . Of course there was no sign of any CCTV on this particular street corner, which is actually rather busy. I think someone MUST have disturbed them.
It's all too familiar to me- I had similar done about five years ago in Coatbridge with my previous car. This time it was for the (decent) car hi-fi equipment as well as some two-way radio gear. They managed to ruin the door skin by wrecking the lock as well as gouging up the dashboard in good style. That occassion was bad enough to write-off the car due to the losses and the damage. Luckily enough, this time, it'll be cheaper to fix myself and pay for the small bits thet went rather than pay the excess. :roll: Oh yes- and the Police? Too busy after the football. And these were "friendlies"? :evil:
Garry :cry:
