M3 mouldings nicked off my car in Cockfosters- Advice needed

[happidec]

There's a low life around Cockfosters in North London.

Took the near and offside mouldings off my car 2 weeks ago last Friday.

He's also tried to break in my boot about 2 weeks before for the alloy I guess

£110 to replace. Didn't touch the ones on the door which I can't work out just the ones on the front and rear side panels

Can anyone on here give me tips on alarm upgrades?.. so that next time it happens I can hear the person, run down stairs naked shovel in hand and give them what's coming

Well, I have certainly heard them called some strange things but shovel?
I guess it saves you from tripping over it and falling headlong down the stairs

With regards to your stolen property, I don't see what can be done about it. The scumbag obviously only took what he needed, which is some kind of a result I suppose.

Interesting, I'm not far from you in Muswell Hill and they nicked the two M3 door mouldings off mine about 2 weeks ago...probably the same guy making up a full set.

Nothing pisses me off more.

His bks + cheese grater = moderate justice. More could be done.

Dry, four step run-up?

This seems to be happening more and more. A friend of mine had the skirts stolen off his e36 one night right outside his house. There is also another e36 M3 at the bottom of his road. This guy had his bumpers stolen twice within one month. I reckon these scrotes are selling the parts on ebay......

Or going onto lesser E36s.

I had the mirrors nicked off my old M3, coincidentally a black 318i saloon round the corner suddenly had a set of M3 mirrors a day or two later...

Did you go get them back?

I had the M3 front and back bumpers nicked off my E36 a couple of years ago when it was parked on the road. My mate had the front taken off his last year while it was on his driveway, right up by the front door of his house. Just one of those things with E36 M3's I'm afraid. The kit is not very hard to rip off and there is a huge market for the parts.

I'm getting the mouldings put on tomorrow by BMERC New Barnet.

Hopefully my M3 will be restored to it's former glory as I haven't bothered driving it lately.

Worried I would look like one of those w@nkers who crashes his beamer as he can't handle the beast.

I have started to see parts from cars stolen from my area too,
with my customers having the parts replaced by me !!!

There are more and more low life around now!!

Subaru had windscreen rubber stolen fron outside his house then fog light covers and now complete electric mirrors.

My own M5 had the mirror glasses stolen for a car park and they cost £225 each.

Had a lot of wiper arms and mirrors go from other cars too!!

And had a customer who got caught by the latest car jacking scam where they
place a sticky car park ticket on your rear screen so as you reverse out of a car space you notice it on your back window !!!

So naturaly you get out to see what it is on the screen with the car all unlocked and running which is when they car jack your car nice!!!

So if that happens to you dont get out of your car
