Default Car Broken into

On sat morning whilst out shopping, my ORSMXR was broken into, they smashed front drivers side window and stole my GPS.

There are sctaches on the leather seat from the glass and a few dents on my FPV steering wheel.

Insurance is sorting the damage out but wont replace my GPS.


Thats ok I can cop that, but what I cant cop is people who think it is there right to ruin peoples property that you work so dam hard to get.

Some people are just pigs

I can't imagine what it would feel like. But this type of scum needs to be dealt with in a special way. Hope it all gets sorted mate.

It'll be a bloody druggie piece of filth. I had my car broken into in may of last year ( must get tint done soon ! ) in the same sort of way. Unfortunately the usual excess seems to cover the approximate value of a window so don't be afraid to ride the insurance company to fix every little thing related to the incident.

It is becoming a big problem, you can't leave anything visible in your car anymore, the druggies use car parks for window shopping. Sorry to hear it Scott.

Had my GPS stolen out of my work car a few weeks ago. They took the rear window out and crawled in that way and put it back in when they finished!!! All happened a couple of metres from our bedroom window! I was stunned.

Got Craig's GPS now and have had the talking to.......NEVER leave anything in the car................I still think I'm in NZ where not much drama happens.

These SCUM BAGS do this kinda crap coz when they get caught they just get a slap on the wrist, so one week later they go and do the same thing again. Maybe if they copped a good old fashioned BELTING they'd think twice about it next time :jab: !!!!!!!!!!

I have always been in the habit of hiding anything of value from sight. Just a precaution worth being fussy about. Seen many smash and grabs over the years, and touch wood, never fell victim.
