Bristol crim's

Mon Dec 19, 2011 8:44 pm

Just a heads up, my little bro's e30 cabby was broken into last night, quarter window smashed and the scumbags tried to steal it but only got as far a breaking the steering lock, snapping both indicator and light storks and cutting a number of wires in an attempt to hot wire it, thankfully they weren't very good.

Thought all those in Bristol should know just incase.

they broke a window on a cabby?

Thanks adit

bit of a tricky one as I haven't seen the mess and he's not that mechanically minded. He does need the drivers side quarter glass (its a 1989 chromie 320i) and the problem there is he needs it for tomorrow as he's off to scotland on Thursday. Have you got the glass and how much? I'll keep you posted on the other stuff.

Well if you see a bearded bloke looking a little pissed off, driving an e30 with a smashed window, give'm a wave.

this is where (although I don't live in Bristol) I'm really glad I have CCTV..

sorry to hear about the smashed quarter and knacked stalks, annoying and pricey but at least they didn't get the car..

One that wants to steal it to break (or ring it), joyriders would cut the roof.

Very good point sir.....

But wouldn't it be easier to send down a puller between window on roof?

Lots of cars get nicked from Clifton by people in town wanting to get back home from town, happened to my brother's car police said it happens a lot, it ended up in Knowle West burnt out, those from Bristol will know the area lol

Well he's got a new window and the garage near his flat have put on their forecourt for safe keeping, till the steering column sorted.

Jonb thanks for the offer, but he's got the garage where he's stored the car to do the work. Can't remember the name of it tho.
