Thieving Scum

Was training all day yesterday, then my missus dropped into me at about 6pm. Got home at 9pm and some

has stolen the aerial off my car (EO Focus ST)in between 6-9pm. It is the non-standard EO coloured one from Torquesteer.

So during broad daylight they twisted it off. Why the hell would anyone stroke an EO one, the EO is rare over here in Ireland and i know the two other ones in my area.

In Oxford, somebody managed to snap (not just unscrew) my S2000 stubby from my 350z in broad daylight, parked next to the car park barrier to the west gate shopping centre. Not only did it shock me that it occurred in broad daylight in a busy area, but they sheered the bolt inside, providing me with an afternoon's work of fixing it!

All for an £10 aerial which was probably useless to them after breaking it!

Its Electric Orange, The standard is a black base and long black aerial.

Mine was a coloured coded base and short stubby body coloured aerial.

Car aerials are great for whipping close friends and relatives!

Should have used a threadlocker.

I should get some for my office chair's screws.

Count yourself lucky you don't have an old Mercedes.

Someone stole the side part of trim off my wheel arch outside work in daylight, who the hell wouldnt find that dodgy in full view? baffled me.

The worst one I had was when someone stole a piece of trim off the front of my old CL500. Where was it parked at the time? Outside Brooklands museum next to Mercedes Benz World! I was gutted because the particular model (W215) had been superceded a month earlier and so MB's policy changed to being unable to supply the trim colour matched (£70) to supplying it in primer (£30) and then offering to spray it in the workshop (£200). Grrrrr...
