    They must be on their last legs if they can get high on bees' wax.

    Why? The more devices that are nicked, the more rightful owners will want to rightfully buy and own a new one.

    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.

    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 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.

    I hope they do but if your window has been fixed the aforementioned daffodil could claim possible contamination of the DNA sample. The rozzers will know who has done it though.

    I suppose there is a downside to this level of safety when chavs nick the car.
    I always remember this advert playing in the cinema (in the UK despite it say it saying it is an Australian ad):

    Mercedes W126 Ad

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

    Yes I know I thought the same, maybe we will if we get time before coffee and doughnuts.

    Passenger window is fixed already, that was good going. Thanks Autoglass and the insurers who I can't remember as OH deals with the insurance on that car.
