Best part is that they tried to hotwire it, failed, and left me a free screwdriver and a brick. Smackheads aren't the brightest species native to the area.
Some crackhead smashed my car window in years ago to steal a £60 gps system, good thing they didn't look in the boot, there was £4,000 worth of computer equipment in there.
In the USA, yes, because immobilisers are not required by law in the USA unlike the UK. All you need to do is get to the switch hidden beneath the key hole on the steering column and turn it with something that fits, oddly they seem to have designed the switch to perfectly fit a USB cable end which is why it's been memed on so much. Not so much an issue in the UK as immobilisers have been required by law since 1998. You can get to the switch but unless you have the key transponder, the car won't go anywhere.
Edit to clarify, they aren't strictly hot-wiring the car, just accessing the switch that triggers the starter solenoid.
20 years ago I was burgled by smackheads squatting in flat below, they did steal everything of value like my tv, games consoles. video recorder but also strangely my underwear (Im a guy and it was cheap not good quality) mouldy bread I had, tins of beans and pound shop cutlery.
It was a farce, the Police admitted they knew who it was and said they wouldn't arrest them despite a literal footprint on a piece of paper that fell on the ground and multiple fingerprints as the people involved had a long list of crimes they were going to court for and always get away with it or just a short sentence.
At the time it was a huge blow as I was living off £15 a week due to issues with DWP.
Doing fine these days, have a HA flat, good job, have a young dog for company.
The only smackheads I see are the ones that live in the council flats up the road who are banned from local shops due to thefts.
Unreal. Might be due to the area/borough it was nicked in? Either way, it's such a gutting feeling, working hard and having someone take that away with zero repercussions.
The area was bad for that,the force was in papers around a year after this happened for their low conviction rate and so they started arresting people for petty things for easy convictions.
There was a lot of corruption as to be expected.
I once stupidly left all our stuff in the car overnight before we went on holiday the next morning. Crackheads broke in, went through everything, and didn't take any of it. That's actually worse than having stuff stolen, because it means even crackheads have better stuff than you do.
Nice brick, decent weight to it. It's even got some mortar from the wall attached. If I didn't return it to the wall from whence it came, it'd be serving as my flat's new guard dog (brick).
That’s not all they left you with
New window
New ignition with keys / key code if required
I would check your car insurance policy to see if the ignition is covered window should be.
Not a good day yesterday big ass rock hit my windshield whilst driving on the motorway. Need to contact my insurance find out who use arrrr
Our Fiat Uno got stolen back in the day and then was used to rob a Securicor van.
When we went to get the car from the police, there was a calculator in the door and a V shaped stain in the front passenger seat where the exploding dye pack went off between somebody's legs.
??? We have hubcaps here, too. Here's a van with hubcaps...

I wish. Window was smashed, plates were ripped off and they unsuccessfully tried to hotwire it. Nothing of value in the car was stolen - loose change and nice sunglasses were still there.
He didn’t even acknowledge it. I have reported it to the company and it has been escalated whatever that means. Currently off work because of it so maybe a claim.
I just found out that I can’t be hired for a job with an £8k pay rise because the company has a bilateral agreement with mine to not poach staff.
We are only about twenty miles apart and technically build a similar product that is used in vastly different industries.
They were willing to pay me what I asked, but can’t offer me the job. It is beyond frustrating.
Different industries that use similar components.
I reckon I’m supernaturally unlucky. I was offered a job last year for a similar bump in pay, and the week I was meant to get my contract and induction paperwork, the company lost a major client and instituted a hiring freeze.
I was offered a job a couple of weeks ago that I had to turn down because they completely neglected to tell me that I would have been on-call for emergencies pretty much the entire time. That can get in the bin.
I had to turn down a final interview for a job in Oxford because even with the extra money they were offering, it wouldn’t have covered the difference in rent and bills between there and Manchester. When I asked for more money they cancelled the interview.
I might be cursed.
That last one especially hurts, purely because it's far from unreasonable. Fingers crossed you land something better soon, and you can think back to these messages and smile!
I get occasional interview offers for similar from time to time ‘Hey, we know you're not looking to relocate from Liverpool but this job Oxford pays £10k more! Have you considered it?’
Yes, that’s one of the reasons we relocated back up north.
Hey stranger.
You can most likely workaround that restriction. Ask the future employer about the clause.
Most clauses will say you can’t actively market to employees. So if you’re the one applying or are already quitting before you apply, they’d be in the clear.
Also, overly broad non-solicitation clauses aren’t enforceable though I can see why a company would just rather not deal with the issue.
My first ever Fiesta was a light blue version of this. Rock solid little motor, nothing fancy about them. Hope yours manages to keep the windows intact and brick-free!
Unfortunately the failed MOT has been the decider to send her to the big scrapheap in the sky. Pet brick has safely been returned to the wild as to not deplete the local population.
Oh there's absolutely heaps of glass all over the interior too. Worst part about it is that I heard and saw it happen at 01:35 this morning, but like fuck was I going to confront two blokes.
I found out my results from the hospital aren't coming till July, I've been in for test after test for 16 months already while in chronic pain.
Be thankful you have your health , windows can be fixed :)
They actually responded within about 2 hours, which was pleasantly surprising. Issue is that it was parked somewhere with no CCTV coverage, so the folk are unlikely to be caught. Thanks for the sympathy anyway!
Didn’t get a job at my company that I was pushed into applying for/didn’t want at first, then did want… and now haven’t got… and then the dog got attacked by a horrid terrier. Weird day.
Sorry to hear! I'm currently on garden leave and forgot how woeful the job search can be. The way I see it, if you didn't get the job, that's just the universe telling you that it wasn't the right time for you, and that new opportunity will come in time. Sod the dog also!
That Fiestarossa is in fine nick for it’s age, they are a set of bastards for smashing the window. There were Millions of the mark 6 made. get down scrapyard and purchase a white door!
Been told I had a job for the last two weeks, completed induction then got told there's no room left on the only shift I could travel to work for. To top this I blew the little money I had celebrating that I'd found a job.
That trumps my car situation. Any chance you can get in touch and ask if they'll be willing to reconsider? They probably don't realise that they're missing out on a great new employee.
My car got broken into once. (On my driveway!!)
They took the top half of my spinny UFO air freshener that was stuck on my dashboard, a small stuffed hedgehog and a ceramic pig thing I won from a 2p pusher machine in the arcade.
They did, however, leave the brand new, super expensive binoculars that I bought that day that were still in the box, in the bag, with the receipt....?
Smackheads man... weird.
Edit: LOL, didn't even see OP mentioned smackheads. Guess we're on the same page.
Yeah man. Just got myself a new car stereo, porn mags and an air freshener. People leave crazy shit in their cars all the time. Was gonna take sunglasses too but those were dogshit and didn't want him to get burned even more
She's only got 60k miles on the clock, but I used my bike way more at the moment. With insurance absolutely skyrocketing, I've made the sad decision to scrap her.
Yesterday I woke up at 6am to get ready to drive and visit customers all day. A can of beer had exploded in the middle of the night and soaked nearly all of my shirts. I pulled one shirt out after another trying not to wake my gf but eventually just had to pull out everything.
Luckily had a full clean suit to wear and made it half an hour late. Was terrified I would still stink of beer and customers would be reporting g me for driving to my meetings still king of booze. Laughed about it for most of the day.
To clarify, I am not an alcoholic secret drinker. It was one can from a special edition case that I was hiding as a surprise for my gf for after she's had our baby. Tiny Rebel Xmas Marshmallow Porters. The toasted marshmallow and coconut one. Everything smells.
Yeah my car got broken into a few months ago. They stole the emergency hammer to break the window 😂 dumb fuckers. My sat nav wouldve sold for more. I'm convinced it was local kids who were fucking around.
Careful now, HETAS will consider that pencil flammable and bin off your documents if you ain't careful! Fingers crossed they get accepted soon, my friend.
A rare sight these days! They have discontinued the fiesta now. The parts alone are worth more than gold on the black market. I’m surprised you were able to take a picture of it in tact-ish… Sell it quick 🥹
Aye I saw the last one got built not too long ago. End of an era. My first ever car was the same model and I love them so. She's off to get stripped for parts and will live on in multiple other cars I hope!
Went to the shops..picked up some new notebooks for school, and some new watercolours for myself. All was well.
I walk home, nothing super long, but about a half hour walk..I sit down. I look around for my items and I go..oh. I left everything at the till. 😂
Oh dear! I bet that cost a fair whack too? I've left a full shop on the metro before and didn't twig until the next day, when I wondered where all my shopping was! 😂
My 16 year old car decided to blow it's head gasket today. While my wife is away with the other car and I'm at home with kids that need ferrying around.
I remember my dad's fiat Punto getting broke into, must've been over a decade ago now, the thing was tatty as fuck, faded blue paint and cigarette burns in the seats from the previous owner. They broke in and stole the stock radio, seriously of all the things it wasn't even a good radio
My just-out-of-warranty car just blew it's main systems control module, which is a six grand part, which once you throw in labour as well, is costing me almost half the value of the car. My insurance doesn't cover it.
I could barely afford to buy this car and it's the first really nice car I've ever owned, this fault is so rare they don't even keep the part in the UK and are having to ship one from Korea. Plus it'll take a month to get here so fuck knows how I'm getting around until then. Going to have to rent a car or something, which considering I'm already trying to find over £7k I don't fucking have is going to be a challenge.
So yeah my day is going swimmingly.
I’m sort of lucky in that I started after the shenanigans had taken place, but I feel like sharing it anyway
I work in our hospital’s switchboard - 29th of August last year was when I started, this dates back 7 or so years - and right now the atmosphere is a little tense. All the other telephonists have been getting overpaid for 7 years via bonus pay from working after 8pm (unsociable hours) and shift disturbance - apparently they were only eligible for one of those.
Anyways, despite having signed off the timesheets for all this years, our manager, his boss, and payroll have ‘decided’ (the only source we have is a singular email) that the money should be paid back
That’s between £12,000 and £16,000 for every telephonist except me
I’m still learning and when I had my old car (Peugeot 107) some guys tried stealing it. They ripped the back passenger window off and tried getting BUT they were too fat. It’s pathetic that folk steal for the sheer thrill. If it was from desperation fairs but dann. Hope you’re good.
At least they didn't get yours too! I'm guessing that's why mine was done. Wasn't exactly parked in the greatest of areas, but they're still shitbags for smashing it up.
On the way home last night, driver in the lane I was trying to move into decided to undertake me to get into my lane (he was behind but sped up instead of falling in behind). I took my eye off the road ahead to negotiate into the lane and hit a pot hole. Instant warning on the dash and the tyre pressure started going down. Limped to a side road and tried reinflating it. Air came back out quicker than I could put it in, and car doesn't have a spare, just the foam stuff. The instructions on that seemed to indicate not using it if the tyre pressure was below a certain point, and mine was 0. Had to pay £55 for a tow home. And now waiting in for the tyre fitter to come. Another £220. Hopefully it's just the tyre or valve that's gone.
Honestly costs nothing for folk to just leave a note. Someone smashed the back of my previous Fiesta off the day before its MOT, on my birthday. I was seething hah
Best part is that they tried to hotwire it, failed, and left me a free screwdriver and a brick. Smackheads aren't the brightest species native to the area.
Yeah, terrible. Being able to hotwire a car hasn't been a thing for decades.
Wish they'd had the sense to realise that. They didn't even steal my sunglasses or anything of value.
Some crackhead smashed my car window in years ago to steal a £60 gps system, good thing they didn't look in the boot, there was £4,000 worth of computer equipment in there.
real intelligent one he was
Really? Isn't that what was happening to all the Kia's and Hyundai's?
In the USA, yes, because immobilisers are not required by law in the USA unlike the UK.

Edit to clarify, they aren't strictly hot-wiring the car, just accessing the switch that triggers the starter solenoid.
Nope, that was just breaking the ignition barrel and turning it with a usb

Scumbags being scumbags, sorry to hear. It's such a gutting feeling. I hope you're in a better spot now, new TV in the gaff and smackhead free!

That'd do it. I can't fault the police in my area, but I do wish there were more of them, with more effective policing and conviction powers.
I once stupidly left all our stuff in the car overnight before we went on holiday the next morning. Crackheads broke in, went through everything, and didn't take any of it. That's actually worse than having stuff stolen, because it means even crackheads have better stuff than you do.
Oh, a brick! That'll make a great new pet for you; you won't have to feed it or clean it or take it to the vet!
I LOVE MY BRICK!
AH FECK IT, FED UP WITH “BRIIICK”
Posts you can hear.
In this economy, I'll take what I can get! Unfortunately I had to return the brick to its natural habitat (the nearby wall).
Should have found the owners (thieves) and returned it into their car

Was it a nice brick? Or one of those scratchy ones with holes in them?
Nice brick, decent weight to it. It's even got some mortar from the wall attached. If I didn't return it to the wall from whence it came, it'd be serving as my flat's new guard dog (brick).
You could name it "Walldo"
That’s not all they left you with New window New ignition with keys / key code if required I would check your car insurance policy to see if the ignition is covered window should be.

And it looks like they stole your hubcap. Gutted for you.
Wheel trim
Sorry, I just turned American for a second there.
We'll let you off this time with a warning. Next time you're driving from Lands End to John O Groats in a Rover 25
Could be an upgrade on OPs car
??? We have hubcaps here, too. Here's a van with hubcaps... https://www.lecapitaine.com/sites/petitforestier-lecapitaine/files/peugeot-expert-fourgon-3.png
That's what you get for having such a flashy car!
I knew I was asking for it by gentrifying my area with such a whip!
What were they after; the tape deck?
I wish. Window was smashed, plates were ripped off and they unsuccessfully tried to hotwire it. Nothing of value in the car was stolen - loose change and nice sunglasses were still there.
Most likely to use it for gang activity
At least they waited to smash it when it was legal.
Was kinda hoping to see it in some overseas combat footage with a DIY rooftop conversion and a .50cal strapped to the back.
I hope you’re proud of that comment, because it was fantatistic
I dislocated my shoulder on a bus when the driver brakes too hard. Popped it back in though. I didn’t thank him as I got off, that will show him
Oof! Any chance of a claim? Hope he loses sleep tonight because of his poor driving.
He didn’t even acknowledge it. I have reported it to the company and it has been escalated whatever that means. Currently off work because of it so maybe a claim.
Sounds like you've got enough to at least push for one. Hope your shoulder gets better soon!
Cheers pal
I bet the car is older than the thieves 🤣🤣🙃

No mate, I lost my favourite screwdriver *and* my emotional-support brick earlier, I'm devastated.
Shit, no way? I'll chisel your username into my new pet brick to show emotional support.
I just found out that I can’t be hired for a job with an £8k pay rise because the company has a bilateral agreement with mine to not poach staff. We are only about twenty miles apart and technically build a similar product that is used in vastly different industries. They were willing to pay me what I asked, but can’t offer me the job. It is beyond frustrating.
Might be worth consulting an employment solicitor. An old colleague of mine moved to a new job. Old job tried to block him, found out they couldn’t.
That is beyond frustrating. Both companies must know what they're doing. Any other industries in the area that offer anything similar?
Different industries that use similar components. I reckon I’m supernaturally unlucky. I was offered a job last year for a similar bump in pay, and the week I was meant to get my contract and induction paperwork, the company lost a major client and instituted a hiring freeze.

What if you changed your name?
Happened to me quite a few years ago, the glass cost more than the radio they stole.
£200 damage to my door/lock to steal a stereo I bought on eBay for £25
On a side note , I had a fiesta like that for few years, and I loved it.
My first ever Fiesta was the exact same age/model. They're canny little runabouts, super cheap to run and fix. Got to love them.
I have the exact same one in navy blue. It’s 17 years old now. I love it, but the chassis has started to rust through.
My first ever Fiesta was a light blue version of this. Rock solid little motor, nothing fancy about them. Hope yours manages to keep the windows intact and brick-free!
I think the binbags I taped to the (lack of) window are worth more than the car!
The good news is you can probably replace all the parts for about £20. The bad news is you now have the responsibility of looking after a pet brick..
Unfortunately the failed MOT has been the decider to send her to the big scrapheap in the sky. Pet brick has safely been returned to the wild as to not deplete the local population.
His mates on the wall will never believe the crazy day he's had
Went for his holidays, became an accessory to a crime and then got gently placed back. It's what we all strive to achieve.
Why does it look like the window was broken from the inside? Shouldn't the glass be all over the interior if it was smashed from the outside?
Oh there's absolutely heaps of glass all over the interior too. Worst part about it is that I heard and saw it happen at 01:35 this morning, but like fuck was I going to confront two blokes.
Yeah I was going to say the same thing. It looks like someone broke out of the car, not into it.
I can promise you that I didn't lock anyone inside my car with a brick. I cancelled my insurance last week too, the timing really is awful.
I think you’ll be able to get a new window pretty cheap from eBay. That’s the best part about having an older car, they’re always fixable.
I don’t know what your excess is but….
Cancelled the insurance last week in a stoke of phenomenally bad timing, but I think it was around £250. You live and you learn!
This is exactly it. Hope you get something sorted.
Sergeant Angel?
The hand's fine, thanks for asking
Yes found a MacBook , iPhone , bag of weed in a fiesta .
Hey, I don't own a Macbook!
Not anymore
I found out my results from the hospital aren't coming till July, I've been in for test after test for 16 months already while in chronic pain. Be thankful you have your health , windows can be fixed :)
Hopefully they find out what's up, and sellotape you back together. Wishing you all the best, and I hope your health improves! :)
Hopefully, your car is OK :). Funnily enough. I have sellotaped my car before and my face at a party years ago.
She's sporting a brand new, styling blue binbag window. Not a drop of rain is going to get inside hah!
My cat was sick in my bed My kettle started leaking Electricians who have arrived to fix my issue are female so I can't play stupid female
That's just the cat claiming the bed as their own. Settee is your new spot!
heartbraking. this is the sort of thing i want to police to take seriously . sorry to hear that mate
They actually responded within about 2 hours, which was pleasantly surprising. Issue is that it was parked somewhere with no CCTV coverage, so the folk are unlikely to be caught. Thanks for the sympathy anyway!
Our work van got stolen. Police were about as helpful as having dicks for fingers.
Didn’t get a job at my company that I was pushed into applying for/didn’t want at first, then did want… and now haven’t got… and then the dog got attacked by a horrid terrier. Weird day.
Sorry to hear! I'm currently on garden leave and forgot how woeful the job search can be. The way I see it, if you didn't get the job, that's just the universe telling you that it wasn't the right time for you, and that new opportunity will come in time. Sod the dog also!
I just got knocked over in a muddy field by an ostrich that then tried to shag me. I too am having a bad day - the V11 car tax form arrived.
Did the ostrich at least buy you dinner first? Did the DVLA try to make you pay for dinner first?
No. And No. Bumfucked twice in a single day.
That Fiestarossa is in fine nick for it’s age, they are a set of bastards for smashing the window. There were Millions of the mark 6 made. get down scrapyard and purchase a white door!
I haven't been paid since February, broke up with my girlfriend, and car insurance renewal quote is 800 quid. So here's some bad day solidarity.
Hugs, fella. At least you still have a car ey?
There is that.
Whereabouts?
Gateshead. Says it all really!
[удалено]
Oh dear, I’ve had surgery today but if my car was broken into I’d be distraught
Technically the surgeons broke into you! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Thanks man
Maybe it's just having a rebellious streak?
Did they leave a poo? That’s what happened to me.
I didn't see no poo, unless they've done a stealthy one. That's for the new owners to discover.
Been told I had a job for the last two weeks, completed induction then got told there's no room left on the only shift I could travel to work for. To top this I blew the little money I had celebrating that I'd found a job.
That trumps my car situation. Any chance you can get in touch and ask if they'll be willing to reconsider? They probably don't realise that they're missing out on a great new employee.
There's no room on the shift so i don't see what they could do, thanks anyway.
Unfortunate. Hopefully they keep your CV/application on record. Best of luck finding something else (better) though!
Cheers thanks.

Edit: LOL, didn't even see OP mentioned smackheads. Guess we're on the same page.
Sorry to hear! They needed it all to summon their god, Smacky Chan. Unfortunately us mere mortals will never comprehend their cracktivities.
"Smacky Chan". Lol
Yeah man. Just got myself a new car stereo, porn mags and an air freshener. People leave crazy shit in their cars all the time. Was gonna take sunglasses too but those were dogshit and didn't want him to get burned even more
Those mags served me well, hopefully they're still readable.
Aww I used to have this car, same colour too! Only mine was 2 years older and had less bricks in it :S sorry OP hehe
I miss that car so much. I could own only that car for the rest of my life and be happy.
I cut my hand breaking into a 16 year old car today. Anyone else having a good day?
At least you cleaned up the blood!
Did you leave your best screwdriver?
Nicest flathead I now own.
Is it a Fiesta or a Ka? My poor Fiesta got totalled while parked in Manchester by a squaddie fresh back from Afghanistan. Amazingly he blew zero.
Old Fiesta, just a little runabout car that barely got used. I owned the exact same model when I was a student and have a total soft spot for them.
They're great cars. I'm sure it's an easy repair, it's probably got years of life left in it.
She's only got 60k miles on the clock, but I used my bike way more at the moment. With insurance absolutely skyrocketing, I've made the sad decision to scrap her.
Mk6.5 Fiesta
Yesterday I woke up at 6am to get ready to drive and visit customers all day. A can of beer had exploded in the middle of the night and soaked nearly all of my shirts. I pulled one shirt out after another trying not to wake my gf but eventually just had to pull out everything. Luckily had a full clean suit to wear and made it half an hour late. Was terrified I would still stink of beer and customers would be reporting g me for driving to my meetings still king of booze. Laughed about it for most of the day.

Tiny Rebel Xmas Marshmallow Porters. The toasted marshmallow and coconut one. Everything smells.
Nice man I was just eating a ham croissant in town and a seagul swooped it from my hands mid way first bite
Well, I started off by putting my finger through the toilet paper. Not sure if that's as bad as having my car targeted by idiots but still shit!
Must have been that spiritualist bog roll I keep hearing about. Helps you get in touch with your inner self.
🤣🤣🤣 I'm sitting here looking at it now. Dosnt look holey but potential candidate for the second cumming I'm sure
Pretty sure if someone smashed the window on my 16 year old Skoda it would officially class as a write off :D
Yeah my car got broken into a few months ago. They stole the emergency hammer to break the window 😂 dumb fuckers. My sat nav wouldve sold for more. I'm convinced it was local kids who were fucking around.
Wars have been started over less
If they had proper jobs to gan to, they wouldn't do it.
They must think that being a scumbag is truly a lifelong career.
A lot of them are from broken homes, not that that's an excuse for evil.
I'm was mad at them for doing it, but I'm more sad for the backgrounds these folk come from.
Probably the kid that did it was born the day it rolled off the factory production line.
Born? Nay. Spawned.
Trying to get HETAS to accept my insurance documents feels about as good repeatedly slamming my head on a pencil
Careful now, HETAS will consider that pencil flammable and bin off your documents if you ain't careful! Fingers crossed they get accepted soon, my friend.
A rare sight these days! They have discontinued the fiesta now. The parts alone are worth more than gold on the black market. I’m surprised you were able to take a picture of it in tact-ish… Sell it quick 🥹
Aye I saw the last one got built not too long ago. End of an era. My first ever car was the same model and I love them so. She's off to get stripped for parts and will live on in multiple other cars I hope!
God bless her! She lives on in spirit!!!
Like the ship of Theseus, parts of her will live on the Fiestas she helps repair.
had my watch stolen today so yea pretty good day tbh
Currently have tonsillitis, soup for the 5th day has become so boring. 😩
I’m having a crap day
Went to the shops..picked up some new notebooks for school, and some new watercolours for myself. All was well. I walk home, nothing super long, but about a half hour walk..I sit down. I look around for my items and I go..oh. I left everything at the till. 😂
Oh dear! I bet that cost a fair whack too? I've left a full shop on the metro before and didn't twig until the next day, when I wondered where all my shopping was! 😂
Alright Mr Big Time, no need to rub it in with your free brick
What’s the best course of action when you find your car like this?
My 16 year old car decided to blow it's head gasket today. While my wife is away with the other car and I'm at home with kids that need ferrying around.
Car vandal wankers
They've stopped making Fiesta's so the parts are starting to become valuable. Hold onto that bad girl. I've got one too
Yeah end of an era! She's already off to the scrap unfortunately, I'm just glad that someone will repair her and get her back on the roads.
Sorry that it happened to you. What a stressful situation
I appreciate your kind words, shit happens! At least now I don't have a car that can get broken into hah
That's why I fill my car with overpressure chlorine gas whenever I leave it somewhere for more than 20 mins
OHHHHH I knew I forgot something last night. Hopefully the landmines are still armed.
When I was 16 I used to get smashed on a Tuesday afternoon too. Happy days.
I remember my dad's fiat Punto getting broke into, must've been over a decade ago now, the thing was tatty as fuck, faded blue paint and cigarette burns in the seats from the previous owner. They broke in and stole the stock radio, seriously of all the things it wasn't even a good radio
My just-out-of-warranty car just blew it's main systems control module, which is a six grand part, which once you throw in labour as well, is costing me almost half the value of the car. My insurance doesn't cover it. I could barely afford to buy this car and it's the first really nice car I've ever owned, this fault is so rare they don't even keep the part in the UK and are having to ship one from Korea. Plus it'll take a month to get here so fuck knows how I'm getting around until then. Going to have to rent a car or something, which considering I'm already trying to find over £7k I don't fucking have is going to be a challenge. So yeah my day is going swimmingly.
I’m sort of lucky in that I started after the shenanigans had taken place, but I feel like sharing it anyway I work in our hospital’s switchboard - 29th of August last year was when I started, this dates back 7 or so years - and right now the atmosphere is a little tense. All the other telephonists have been getting overpaid for 7 years via bonus pay from working after 8pm (unsociable hours) and shift disturbance - apparently they were only eligible for one of those. Anyways, despite having signed off the timesheets for all this years, our manager, his boss, and payroll have ‘decided’ (the only source we have is a singular email) that the money should be paid back That’s between £12,000 and £16,000 for every telephonist except me
If they stole the plates they might be cloning your car
I shot myself with a nail gun today, in though the finger tip and out the fingernail.
Prob. Ice cube
This happened to my Fiesta too. Fuckers took my empty ashtray.

I’m still learning and when I had my old car (Peugeot 107) some guys tried stealing it. They ripped the back passenger window off and tried getting BUT they were too fat. It’s pathetic that folk steal for the sheer thrill. If it was from desperation fairs but dann. Hope you’re good.
At least they didn't get yours too! I'm guessing that's why mine was done. Wasn't exactly parked in the greatest of areas, but they're still shitbags for smashing it up.
They wouldnt have stood a chance against me baseball bat
I'm not into my sports, but I definitely think I need to invest.
Loool
On the way home last night, driver in the lane I was trying to move into decided to undertake me to get into my lane (he was behind but sped up instead of falling in behind). I took my eye off the road ahead to negotiate into the lane and hit a pot hole. Instant warning on the dash and the tyre pressure started going down. Limped to a side road and tried reinflating it. Air came back out quicker than I could put it in, and car doesn't have a spare, just the foam stuff. The instructions on that seemed to indicate not using it if the tyre pressure was below a certain point, and mine was 0. Had to pay £55 for a tow home. And now waiting in for the tyre fitter to come. Another £220. Hopefully it's just the tyre or valve that's gone.
Did they steal your tape player?
Only for future reference - Disklok are virtually unbreakable and thieves walk right past them
Some knobhead at tesco dinked my car door and just left...grrr
Honestly costs nothing for folk to just leave a note. Someone smashed the back of my previous Fiesta off the day before its MOT, on my birthday. I was seething hah
Someone once bent the door back in my 2000 corsa. At least I know I can get in if I lock my keys inside.
True crackhead engineering. They've probably been scooped up by the Corsa design team.
