Gutted

[Scottie]

Well guess what my Silver Mini got broken into at the dealer this weekend some NED obviously thought they would pick on my car.

Broken front passenger window and head unit knackered.

Allan is on his way to collect my car and bring her home into the security of her own wee garage.:disapprove::(;)

Unfortunately the plonkers of Police had to be involved fat lot of good that will do. Since being up here in Inverness my Larbert house has been broken into twice my Caravan twice and the plods come in take finger prints and it's the last you here of them.

Oh well no doubt will be hovering glass for the next two years out the car.

Gutted Fiona.

[X30YES]

Not so good Fi ...sorry to read about your bad news

[GAJ]

Nightmare.:( You're right about the glass . . .

[bpirie1000]

Nightmare Anyhitng else damaged or Was it a Window smash and Attempted grab.?

Is there no CCTV on the forcourt?

what dealership was that? Hope they fixed it.

[Burple]

Nightmare Fi!! :(:(:(:(:blackeye::blackeye::disapprove:

Two of my previous Classics were broken into. Same experience with the Police I have to say. It seems to me that their main purpose when things like this happen is to provide a Crime Reference Number so you can claim from your insurance! :(:(:mad::mad::mad::disapprove::disapprove:
Catch the criminals? Not our Department, sorry! :disapprove:

P.s.. On a more positive note, we were thru on Sat AM to pick up Zimbo's new toy, and your car is looking way cool now with the facelift! ;):cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::D:D
That's a lot of Carbon! :cool:

I'm in that Q (utter barstewards)

Have had cars broken into & stolen in the past & it's a pain in the @rse.
I'm sure your car will be A1 in no time Fi & hooray to Iain/Menzies for stepping in to do all they can.

[Scottie]

Menzies bodyshop have hoovered out hopefully most of the glass and checked over the car and as far as we can tell they only broke front passenger side window tried to take head unit out but the flip up screen broke and they left it at that which is not to bad I guess as they could have had ipod - micro road pilot - parrot phone thingy. Menzies have taken it over to RAC windscreen for me and the window is being replaced as we speak. Will get the dyson out tonight and hunt for any hidden glass.

Going to speak to mikethemini and hopefully should just be a case of taking the head unit out with those key thingies and replacing with a new head unit.

Hopefully mr policeman has not covered the car in that finger print powder stuff I remember when they done my house it took for ever to get rid of that stuff.

[Wul]

Oh man - sorry to hear that Fi!

[Big Col]

How comes the face was left on the headunit Fe? That's not like you is it? I think you mentioned you always take it out when I was talking to you about my old one getting nicked. Gutted for you with this it really does pi$$ you off when someone fcuks with your motor. :(

it was a Kenwood sat/nav the one where you press a wee button and the screen comes out then flips up. To be honest it never crossed my mind to take the front panel off infact I'm not sure if I can.:I I'll no better for the future.

[ACF]

So sorry to hear of your loss.

[Gismo]

Sad to hear Fi, at least Menzies will cover your costs, as for the head unit, yes, you can remove the front panel when the screen is tucked away

[AeroJonny]

Gutted for you Fe, it sucks when ppl treat something you take so much pride in with utter disrespect. They should get their fingers chopped off!!! ;)

[zimbo]

Scumbags :mad: I would love to be able to get my hands on these kind of thieving scum just for a couple of minutes!!

Sorry to hear bout the break in Fe, hope it's all sorted out soon.

Do the dealers not have a security guard to patrol the grounds/premises etc just in case of things like this?
I know of a local dealer here in Dundee that does.

[J Cee]

Dirty wee B*******s! When they catch these wee gits they should cut off all their fingers and tattoo the word SCUM in 3in letters across their forehead.:evil::evil::evil::evil:

[markyc]

Hey Fi, sorry to hear this it's a serious bummer and real bad news :disapprove::(:mad: The $?&@# responsible really are lower than a snakes belly :mad::evil::blackeye::evil:

Well done Minime/Menzies for helping to get you sorted out :approve:;)

I'd chop off a lot more than that! (or less more like) :evil::blackeye::mad:

..And by 'chop'.. I mean PEEL..
and by 'off' I mean WITH A RUSTY POTATO PEELER..
and by 'a lot more than that' I mean GENTLY RINSE THE WOUNDS WITH BLEACH AND A SCRUBBING BRUSH..
and by '!' I mean DRY OFF THE WOUNDS WITH POWDERED SALT INFUSED ;) WITH IRON FILINGS..

There. Doesn't that meake you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? ;):D

[Sweeney]

must agree with the finger pringing and insurance comment, my house has been broken into twice, both times finger prints etc done, never head anything from them.

Although unknowingly to them they tried to sell me some of my stuff back! told the police but their response was simply nothing they can do on word of mouth; they wouldn't take them in for a finger print match or anything was raging :(

[euan]

Nigtmare Fi. Hope it's all sorted soon.

[Smurf]

Sorry to hear about all this Fe, hope you manage to get it sorted out to your satisfaction.

And good on Menzies for offering to fix it all. Not every dealer would do that I'm sure.

[Lynsey]

Sorry to hear about that! Some people are just incredible!

[feefabelle]

Thats really awful Fiona!!! if its any consolation i have already educated the small children in my class that they must respect the mini. My aim will be to catch all of these potential theifs and teach them about the importance of respecting other peoples property!! CATCH EM YOUNG!!

[Scottie]

well my car is back and in her garage.:D but she feels like she has been violated:( Obviously she put up a fight:cool:

Actually it's not to bad well obviously better if it never happened but these guys must have been the dumbest thiefs going the stuff they did not take.

Micro Pilot x2 one was in the cubby bit under the radio and one on it's holder up on windscreen. my ipod - jeez who were these guys.

Big top mark to Iain @ Menzies who coped very well with my h'mm how should I say hysterical moment.

Hoover and cleaned the inside loads on small glass in my fingers now:eek:

the best bit they ripped and tore at my head unit the front is in bits but I got my wee face thingy bit and managed to clip it into it's wee bit and bingo I've still got music:D

Mikethemini sending me a new headunit should get it tomorrow.

[N12 JLK]

Jealous wee bas#*?ds, (sorry for swearing) but it really gets to me these wee junky gits, we all work really hard for things and then people think they can just take what ever they want without paying for them, probably never worked a day in there lives a small slap on the wrist and a £30 fine and its ok to do it all again. Hope your feeling somewhat better now Fiona sorry to hear about this.:disapprove::disapprove::disapprove:

For ****s sakeS, have they no idea what it means to enforce the law, toO much worrying about peoples rights and all that nonscense. what about the victims rights and what about not just taking you word, use evidence, EV..I..DEEENCE !.

Muppets !!!!

[monkimagic]

so as it stands,
Fiona's wee beauty have been violated.
The ******s that done it have nothing to worry about as the police are next to useless.
Menzies stepped in and sorted it.

So.....

Who has built up community relations, victim support. Police or Menzies ?

Who can be confident that things are fine and they can continue as normal. Fiona or scummbag ?

[Neil and Lorna]

Hi Alan & Fiona


Sorry to hear about this, looks like you've got it all sorted.
But does'nt it make you angry.

Neil and Lorna.

[Scottie]

new head unit arrived today and is now fitted so car is back to normal. well almost!!!!! we had to take out the old head unit and realease the glove box a bit to get to plug that connects the head unit so we noticed the wiring that's be done when head unit was first fitted.

First problem the screws for the glove box the heads were rounded:(

Then I was shocked to see the poor quality of the installation wires connected you know twisted together and then tape wrapped round(that was something I watched my dad doing back in the 70's)

guess the installers have never heard of wire connectors that are used these days!!!

next time I will know better and take the time to go down to mikethemini.

[mikeythemini]

Yikes :(

[Duncan Stewart]

Sorry to hear this Fiona.
Hope you get it all sorted OK.

[AndyP & Lenore]

gutted for you Fiona.

Glad you are getting it sorted.
