The thought had crossed my mind, but I'd be better renting you out, you're much bigger and uglier.

Thats a bit of a shitty thing to happen. Not nice at all. Hope it gets sorted. Interesting though as a client of mine who lives over in your neck of the woods has had his X5 poof wagon nick'd this week also.

Re: Be careful

Nice to hear the happy ending

But

I had a similar experience when we saw two items of scum breaking into neighbours garage.

I went for them with the rotter and they jumped in van and away.

So I jumped in car and set off after them, called bobbies on cellfone and asked them to sort of join in.

Had a prolonged coversation with police as we sped along little country roads describing where we were so they could catch the sods.

Then the police hung up on me

Eventually called them back and guess what

We were out of their area and they were no longer interested

Leaving me on my own in the middle of nowhere chasing (at least) 2 of them

They never even followed up on the reg number.

Still perhaps gave them a fright - they didn't like the look of the rotter.

Real bad luck on TCM - coming on top of the engine you you must be totally pissed off - hope it works for you.

Re: Thank to all

Overall, you sound overdue for a string of "good luck". Engines that whirr and gurgle for hundreds of hours on end, cars that stay unstolen, houses that remain unbroken into, and speeding tickets that get ignored for discretionary reasons. On average, I reckon you should be okay for at least five years now...

Close the harbours and stop all east bound ships! The new marketing slogan of the russian tourist board: "Welcome to Russia - your car is already here!"

Sympathy's. I came home a few years ago whilst a couple of retards where in my house. I live in a fairly quite close on the edge of farmland, pulled up onto the drive to see some guy calling out as if looking for his dog. Opened the front door and went back to the car to get my young son out (who was asleep) and notice the front door slam shut in the wind. Put two and two together, thought I didn't leave any windows open so door should not blow close. Left Son in car, removed jack handle from boot and entered house. Found patio doors open and my Hi Fi all over the floor, no one in the house. Turns out the guy outside calling the "dog" was the lookout and his call to his "dog" was their warning to get out. Police took 3 days to arrive.

I now sleep with a base ball bat close to my bed and would have no hesitation what so ever in doing as much damage as possible to anyone who enters my house uninvited.

I believe the general advice is to ensure you have a baseball as well. 'Plausible Deniabilty'
