Some moron broke into my car last night!!!

Some moronic junkie lowlife broke into my 2 months old Alfa while it was parked in my (supposedly) security garage last night.

He/she/it totally unscrewed and disassembled the boot lock to get into the boot (there was nothing of value in there anyway) and then he ferked up the drivers side lock to get into the car, then he ripped away the centre console on the dashboard to try and get at the stereo (it's a piece of shit Clarion anyway why would anyone want it?) but wasn't able to get it. So in effect he ended up stealing nothing anyway and left me with a $500 repair bill (it's a lease car but I have to pay the excess of $500) and the inconvenience of being without my GTV for at least a week.

Here's some photos of the damage he caused:

Boot lock damage

Dash centre console damage

He broke into a few other cars in the garage, incidentally - I found my detachable stereo face in someone else's boot.

My leasing company offered me a hire car for $55 a DAY (fuk dat!) so I'm instead using my sister's MGF convertible while I'm waiting for it to get fixed.

The evil and dishonesty in this world is truly amazing. [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img]

It's almost like you're not allowed to have a nice car these days, sheesh. I feel your pain Memnoch.

That totally sux, Memnoch.

It feels like you've been violated - been there before.

Those definitely weren't professionals though. Professionals don't cause THAT much damage.

Hard luck dude - that must have been one really screwed up car thief........
..... like WHY would you want to break into an Alfa for? Surely there were soe classy cars in that garage - like Toyota Camry's or something

Utter bastards! That sucks man!

Someone tried to steal my sister's old Daewoo a few weeks ago!?

It's beyond comprehension how warped some people are...

I feel your pain Memnoch. I too had my car vandalise by people few times already. Too bad the car insurance don't cover damages caused by that. grrr...

Two friends of mine (a couple) had their car broken in as well, but the junkie(s) didn't steal much, but also made damage and the next day when my friends went to their car they found needles. Not a pretty sight

Awww Mario, that sucks!!! God, people can be so stupid and thoughtless! [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img]

Did you park it in Coogee by any chance. That's where mine was when it got broken into... Lost two sound modules then. Plus a host of CDs. Bastards. I opened the studio door and he scurried away like a rat. Scum.

Best of luck in getting your ~~pimpmobile~~ discrete little runaround restored to it's former glory a.s.a.p. I have total sympathy - remember this??
