Snorkel thieves

Speaking to another parent at the kid's school yesterday - they have
110 which they've driven all over the place over the years. A couple of
days ago they left the house to discover that some thieving toe-rag had
carefully unscrewed and removed the snorkel from their Landy. To add
insult a couple of days later someone tried (and failed) to hotwire the
engine, leaving the ignition wires all over the place and the column
shroud damaged.

I can understand some scroat trying to nick a Landy, maybe for a spot
of ram-raiding, but stealing a snorkel would really only be of use to
another 110 owner, and someone who knew how to remove it - that's
pretty poor :-(

Where was this (roughly)?

"Full of guile" is the phrase. But my kid brother tells me Oxford is
worse.

I am guessing this was a mantec style one? ISTR the Safari bolts from the
inside with no visible way to get it off (well it does on the D1..)

(and it wasn't me!)

This reminds me: Marge has a TDi from a discovery fitted to replace her
TD engine which let go expensively a while back.

In the absence of a matching air filter box she just has the snorkel at
the moment. I want to improve the situation (should have done it ages
ago really), so can the team recommend an air filter tin that might fit?
It's the snorkel that makes things awkward really...

Thoughts appreciated.

Regards,

Simonm.
