Why? The more devices that are nicked, the more rightful owners will want to rightfully buy and own a new one.Originally posted by PRC1964 View Post
You'd have thought that a device that knows where it is could somehow be made to let its rightful owner know where it has been taken.

Where was the car parked when it got broken into? On the street? On the drive? Public car park? Tescos? Wondering whether its location might have contributed to it being savaged.

I would be surprised if kids had done it. The door locks on the old SAABs are quite tricky to pick and the gear changes are not like floor shift.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostSympathy.
Could be worse. My brother-in-law died earlier in the year, and a couple of months later some kids stole his prized 1960s Saab from my sister and torched it.

I always remember this advert playing in the cinema (in the UK despite it say it saying it is an Australian ad):Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostIndeed. They'd have to go bloody fast though; big MB's are known for safety. According to the German safety lot, TÜV, If Diana and Dodi had been wearing seatbelts in that S-Class they'd almost certainly have survived smashing into a concrete post at 130km/h.
I suppose there is a downside to this level of safety when chavs nick the car.

As it happens my Mum was smoking about in a 420SEL until last year.

Why don't chavs just sniff glue? So much cheaper for everyone, Shirley?Originally posted by Dearnla View PostSadly, the thieving scum barstewards are only after a fiver or so for their next fix - that's all they care about. They neither know nor care about the technical spec or the cost of your window - "He's insured......"
