Delightful.

How long does it take to have a passenger window put in, and is there a legally safe temporary solution if it'll be a while?

Meeting friends I haven't seen in a few months this weekend and already promised folk lifts and things

*****!

ring around you might get it done tomorrow if not then thursday til then as PM says duct tape and cardboard
 
I remember when I first moved down to the Midlands and my girlfriend's missus was talking about how she'd been talking to someone they had sold their last car to and was saying that it had been broken into.

She was a broad Black Country woman, and I was convinced she was saying the car had been "broken in two". All I could picture was this car snapped in half.

I think it's one of those where you had to be there.

worth considering you, housemates and Neighbours sharing cost for getting security cams?

This happened in the town centre I'm afraid.

Practically all crime here is the result of drug addicts feeding their addiction mind. They're not arsed about being caught, all they want is something to sell for a few quid to get some heroin to go and shoot up it seems.

if you know of any that would replace them, than rather than just supply that would help him for sure:cool:
 
The car is less than two years old.

Had the passenger side mirror smashed off (presumably by a cyclist as they weave between the cars parked at the bottom of the cul-de-sac to get through to the adjoining steeet) and was told there'd be no point as so few have been scrapped

National Windscreens can't do anything until 9am so I'm now sitting by the window watching the car as there's been a fair bit of car crime here.

Maybe would have been worth leaving it in a secure multistory over night

We don't have such things here I'm afraid.

This street is unfortunately a popular thoroughfare for ne'erdowells and scallywags so one of them sees that and it's their lucky day :lol:

Well it would be if one of their mates hadn't beaten them to it.
