Currently driving a 1972 BMW 1602 as my daily. Don't ask about previous cars - there have been way too many and I stopped counting at 160!

Mine got stolen a few weeks before I got it, they cut through the steering wheel but couldn't find the home brew immobiliser. It got dragged 2 foot from the kerb whilst they tried to rob the alloys, couldn't get them off either! It was lucky. A mate of mine got his nicked the day he bought it |

Annoyingly, this had sat for 5 months while we chased many and various wiring troubles (it would stop when you turned the headlights on and wipe the windscreen when you indicated among many other nasty problems), only fixed it a couple of weeks before it went missing and only just managed to talk to the owner as he's been unavailable. Whoever took it must be a customer of ours and must have known we'd fixed it as there would be no way to drive it away before...
Really boils my p*ss. Anyway, hopefully we can get something with the combined efforts af the feds and our CCTV chap.

My dad's was always targetted in penistone. It's why he used to aim his air rifle out the window at the slightest noise.

Just sold mine and it's sad to say I do sleep a little easier not worrying if it'll still be there in the morning...it's so wrong that they seem to be getting away with it...

Looks like a customer has had one taken from their driveway day after they went on holiday, looking into it to get more details.

Turns out, they tried to take my Amazon too, attempted hotwire... however, it doesn't run and even if it did, I doubt it would get far. Not sure when though, I can't lock it and haven't been near it since "The Revival"
