    Amazing what some people steal

    Gday All,
    The Wife took the Disco to the shopping centre yesterday and when she returned a couple hours later noticed some smudges on the windscreen when she looked closer some Dirty bastard had stolen the windscreen wiper.
    Sad to think we should feel lucky the car wasn't trashed,
    Even sadder to think it must've been a fellow L/Rover owner..

    Cheers Ean

    Sad that the wiper was stolen but cheap to replace - you might have been lucky that is all that happned.

    But people are brazen. My old mum stood by the kerb at a busy major suburban shopping centre in Melbourne on a Saturday morning waiting for a lift. There was a guy beside her at a parked car removing the LHR wheel. He happily chatted to her while he took the wheel off the car and told her he was taking it to be repaired for being flat. He left with the wheel and a litle bit later she is still there and another guy came to the car.

    This guy was the owner, the wheel changer was a wheel thief.

    I had some nice chrome valve caps on my tyres that the local tyre dealer had given me. Someone knocked them off while the car was parked in the street. He could have got some for free from the tyre dealers!

    I had my side window smashed on an XB falcon I owned.
    The bastards stole the top anchor bolt from my passenger side seat belt and that was all.

    Bugger. However it may not be a landy owner. Vandals often steal things like wipers and cb aerials for fun.
