This is something i have experienced...I had a 330 msport a few years ago, parked it outside a mates and went out on the lash...upon return, front bumper and side skirts gone!! Had a £600 excess so wasn't worth claiming.

What do we have to do catch the scumbags?

That friggin crazy! A similar thing happened to a mate's ex recently. She had her Ford Ka stole recently, it was found a few days later but it had been stripped to the bone. Body panels, interior, wheels....everything gone!  :mad:

You fitted your S3 intercooler the other day. I bet you were waking up every hour wondering how you would get your front end back on.  :P  :signIWS: :signLOL:

The worst one I saw was at the Donny show at Donington Park. I came back to my car and there were two blokes shouting at a marshall. Someone had walked off with this guys Bonnet, Wheels, Rear spoiler, Wing mirrors, Engine parts, Front spoiler, SEATS!! and spotlights. All from his modified Scooby!! Now that was something, for someone to do that in broad daylight with parking attendants and marshalls around must have had balls the size of footballs and a brain the size of a peanut! :angry015:
