Whilst I take your point Mike, and yes my car does have
deadlocks, at least the damage to the car was minimal, had
he smashed a window it would have been a different story.
However as I said, it was my own fault for leaving the Sat
Nav on view. I suppose these toe rags will always be on the
lookout for an easy target to fund their drug habit or
whatever, and on this occasion, I was the easy target.

Hi Brian
It's not your fault Brian, its the general way things are going down hill
and the lack of punishment for the crime.
I went to LA in December 2005 and woke up early one morning and went for a
stroll,
I was amazed at the amount of people who had parked cars up over night with
cd players, mobile phones and sat nav systems on clear view to all.
I suppose over in the USA you run the risk of a bullet if you get caught
nicking a system out of a car but I bet the punishment over there is a lot
tougher than it is here for theft.

No it wasn't your fault, any more than it was my fault someone opened my
unlocked garage door and tried to nick my motorbike a few years ago. The
bastards stole my 6 year old kids bike too. It was of no value to anyone
just my son.
