    Thieves stole from my car in the car yard!

    My D4 has been at the local Land Rover dealership getting some warranty work done (that's another story). I left it there for a fortnight so when the parts arrived it could be worked on straight away.
    Well today everything had been fixed so I picked the car up and rove off when I noticed dirty scuff marks on my bonnet and noticed wiring from my bonnet going up my "A" pillar was flapping in the breeze. When I pulled up I noticed that my light bar had been stolen. The wires had been disconnected and the mount unbolted from the rack and taken.
    I went back to the dealer who after seeing the empty bolt holes and loose wiring told me that I just had to buy a new bar and the would reimburse me.
    Very angry that someone had jumped into a secure yard, climbed over my bonnet and stole me light bar! But...very happy with the service manager's response. Now I just have to shop around for another light bar.

    Good the dealer was helpful.

    We do a fair bit of work for a large interstate trucking company.
    Whenever their yard is broken into,all that dissapears are the spotlights off the trucks.Nothing else has ever been taken,not even tools.

    Make sure you get a bigger and better one.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    They've tried to change the name to Gateshead South. It says you're from Canberra, he do you know about our lovely locals? ;-)

    I come from Belmont and my family still live there. When I was 18 (am now close to 60) my Dad was building the mine air shaft at the back of Bennets Green and when school finished for the term I had to go up to the site and act as a security guard to stop all the ferals from Windale getting in and stealing all my dad's gear. Got paid $10 a day.

    I guess not much has changed over 40 years and I am surprised the car yard does not have better security as the car yards in that area and up into Gateshead are always being done over.
