as my old mate paul used to say....SCUMBAG!
Today, being the last wednesday of the semester, I made a big effort to get to uni on time. Got out of bed nice n early at 7am! 5 to in fact. Even had
time for breakfast.
Things were going well. Until its discovered that some %$#@% %$#@% %$#@# has busted the lock on my lancer and took the wifes CD's AND the face
off the CD player.
My only consolation is they will be throwing the CD's away, I'm sure the music wont be to their taste. No covers either so they cant even
sell them. Just one of those wallet things.
The annoying bit is they took the CD face. Just be downright annoying. |

bastards!
One of the guys in our club had his T3 Dual cab broken into on a Thursday night. Nothing taken. Then Friday night they came back took his tacho,
stereo, speakers, interior lights (What the?) and a few other things... only consolation was they brought tools so didn't break anything prying
bits out.

They should have broken into the kombi next to it as well. Exact same system, better music (in my opinion).
Whoever ripped into the T3 must also own a T3. *looks around the forum with suspicion* :P

has anyone had to replace a CD facia? What do they cost? I'm wondering if I should go out and remove the CD player all together. If they come
back and break up the dash I will be rather annoyed. Maybe I should take it out and leave it next to the car.

Ryan, you think that just because I'm the only person who has seen it makes you safe? :P
Honestly though, I'd hate it to happen to me, so I've never even contemplated doing it to somebody else. It's amazing how many people
out there don't think that way though.

You can get another stereo face.
Strathfield car radios or someone similar should be able to hook you up.
Dont leave it for em...

Chris, not good
Not the sort of thing you ever want to face first thing in the morning or ever, it's a horrible feeling to be robbed. Have had the house broken
into once :eek
*Jen breaths a sigh of relief that she is not a suspect as all the way down here in Melb. and would never steal anyways, but drives Type 3*
Should be able to get a new face for stereo but never looked or priced them
Hope you didn't have an exam or anything today, that would have made day worse

Years ago I had the cassette player busted up in the EH. The amatures couldn't get it out, the wrecked the threads on the knob shafts!
Took all my tapes - Skid Row, Meatloaf, Metallica etc.
I became a changed man.
I got a haircut, started a CD collection, got a more diverse range of music, and never parked the car on the street again overnight.
I have always since had removable CD faces in all vehicles, and always take it out overnight, even in the driveway.

Yeah My EH got done over too, all my tools in the boot, they stole the car when I finally finished doing it up, they wouldn't have been after the
radio in that one, it didn't have one! spent close to ten grand on it, I was 19 years old and it wasen't insured.

NRMA wont cover the CD player cos I didnt tell them I had it fitted.
The excess is $450 plus losing the no claim bonus is a real kick in the groin so looks like I'll be shelling out for the lot.
So I have to get my own CD player. The cost of 20 odd CD's @ 25 - 30 bucks each. Plus whatever the lock/handle costs + re keying it.
I'm not too worried about things except having to shell out money I dont have. On top of an unexpected trip to Vicland 3 weeks ago it has killed
the financial situation. Here comes another mortgage redraw. Things could have been worse. The door doesnt need any panel beating. The ignition lock
isnt busted. There was nothing real important in the car. Hey they werent even my CD's they were the wifes. The lack of a Norah Jones (or whoever
she is) CD wont cause me any loss of sleep. Just less money for VW stuff now.

Excesses to pay can be a lot:jesus
Do you have a CD burner? Borrow from friends the CD's you want and burn, it will be a cheaper option than replacing ever one.
Chris, don't know Norah Jones, that's sad
You're kidding right. Here you go, MP3's

I know who she is, just wasnt sure I was getting her name right. I'm not upset by the loss of that CD. As far as I know none of 'MY'
cd's were in that car. I guess I wont know until I go looking for one that is missing.
PS it was a clarion something or other. No big deal for me cos the same system is in my kombi. I can swap depending on what car I am in. Not being
very sympathetic for 'missus' am I. :P
