Delighted you got it back in one piece. Stealing is one of the worst thing out there

Are you sure that wasn't finger print dust ?

It's right b+stard to clean up that is, if you wet it it seems to sink further into the fabric... mine still has traces on the back seats two years after it was recovered.
These are sensations as hard to forget as they are to ignore.....

no definately sugar - there was no sign of the powdery stuff the cops use for finger printing, sugar and lots of it !

Great news pal like how they left u a new stereo and at least 3 bits of evidence which will contain DNA haha idiots. Can almost under stand what u went though i've got a heap sat in the garage which i'm doing up and I know how much hard work has 2 be put into it. If I was u I would seriously think about a tracker aswell I deffinatly am for mine. Might sound abit over the top with a tracker, alarm, immobilizer, steering lock ect ect but u now know from experience its better to be safe than sorry. Also one good thing u can take from this is that u now know that u live in a place where the criminals have good taste lol. Again mate great to hear:)

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Not the brightest comment to make


you might want to think of a new alternative to your kill switch
