well, I'd hafta say this is another sad day in the VW world.

Last night while I was at a concert, some @#$%^!&@ went and stole the plastic handle on the inside of my kombi sliding door. Apparently this is a rare and hard to replace part of the kombi. Based on that, I've come to the conclusion that a VW owner has stolen this piece out of my car.

People have talked in the past on this forum about how parts of their car were stolen. All I could ever be was sympathetic but now I know! People who steal, ESPECIALLY VW OWNERS who steal from other VW owners, are cowards and do not even deserve to own a VW. I am REALLY pissed off about this.

:cussing :cussing :cussing

If anybody has one of those plastic handle thingy's that are attached to the inside of the kombi sliding door (my kombi is 1973) or knows where I can get one, please U2U me.

Thanks
dodge :cry

no, the car was locked.
the quarter window on my door was forced open. the window wasn't locked, as i open it all the time, and you can't open the sliding door by putting your hand thru the window but you can steal the handle thru the window!!! I didn't even consider that someone would be so low as to do that.

I had the tail-lights stolen off my beetle last year. I still don't know if it was for the part or to be a c***, whoever it was broke them that badly they would have been unuseable anyway

it will probably break on them, or become part of the perpetualy stolen realm

I just hate thieves...

You work so hard for everything you buy. But, these bludgers think it's easier to steal it off someone rather than actually work for it.

Karma will get them in the end....

Dodge - sorry to hear of the low life scum that invaded your privacy and stole from you.
You can try Peter Korsche @ Korsche Auto Recyclers in West Gosford NSW - he's a friend of mine and just had a rare part for my 73 bay Ph is 02 4325 7911.
Or try Crazy George on the forum.

i didn't call anyone a thief by quoting that proverb akean.
and thats exactly what i was doing QUOTING a proverb. i didn't write it, it was written by some ancient dude. 72TWINCABs comment reminded me of it.
it actually has nothing to do with what happened really...........

i like verns idea! go the hexxing!!

sorry to hear about that dodge... stupid gits think its alright to share (take) the love.
unfortunately its your love and you worked hard for it and its not shareable.

karma dictates that their whole car will probably get stolen next month, so just keep thinking that🙂
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

All I meant was that we work hard to buy our precious VW stuff. And that some people out there prefer to steal your stuff rather than spending their own money to buy it.

It was never intended as a dig at the unemployed.

If you come up short I will have one on one of the many kombi's growing in my yard.

Just cause there is scum out there doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to open your door....
