The wife’s car got broken into during the night.
Somebody smashed the side window, emptied the glove box and had a good ol’ rummage amongst all the crap on the seats (Mrs M doesn’t keep the tidiest of vehicles - I often refer to her car as the new Vauxhall Corsa Landfill).
So, what did they get away with?
- The vehicle handbook and servicing manual
- A half empty tin of de-icer
- And a whole packet of Wrigley’s Extra Chewing Gum
The Police forensic man (CSI Luton) who turned up to try and solve the crime, said there was nothing he could do. He did, however, explain what the sods were looking for: Sat Nav.
Although Mrs M’s Sat Nav wasn’t in the car, she had left the window mount for it, still attached to the windscreen - indicating that she owned such a device. So, there’s a warning for you all.
So, they get away with some chewing gum and de-icer, leaving us to have to fork out 75 quid (insurance excess) to get the window replaced.
Bastards!
Bastards, as you say. And what’s a SatNav worth on the black market? Maybe £20?
Now if you had an old fashioned atlas in the glove bin this would probably not have happened.
Bloody hell. You actually had a policeman turn up to try and solve the crime? I thought that they were all busy catching career criminals - i.e. motorists doing 36mph in a 30 zone.
