    I've just found out that some thieving toe rag tried to break into my Campaign last night [:x]

    Found a straightened coat hanger by the rear wheel and the passenger door window seal has been pulled away from the window....is nothing safe these days from low life scum :cry:

    They wouldn't have got it started even if they had got in to it as it's got a Thatcham Cat 2 Immobiliser fitted.....but that's not really the point!

    So anyone in Derbyshire and elsewhere beware!

    The crazy thing is I haven't even finished putting it back together after removing bumpers to clean the brackets and bumper irons [:s]

    You would think they would be after more modern cars these days.

    Modern cars aren't as easy to steal....hence them going for the valuable classic cars :thumbd:

    Exactly this, easy to steal and worth more than most modern stuff!

    On a side note, if that's its original plate, it was registered here in haverfordwest, and would have been supplied by Forge Haverfordwest, (now a lidl). Glad they didn`t do any major damage.

    Best visual deterrant you can get is a massive disk lock. Nothing says 'sod off' more than that I reckon!

    Glad they didn't take the beaut.

    Likewise,

    I had loads of issues untill I got big disc lock and that seems to put off the young toerags.

    Now I've gone for a small wheel it no longer fits and My lock was a small one to begin with so I'm going to have a snap off boss for my Wheel now.

    Have someone weld a strap to the side edge, done this on one of mine to fit the mini. Works a treat.
