James_S Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) Came out into the Pub Car Park I go to every single wednesday and Thursday (and before anyone says it, I dont have anything to drink if im driving), to find someone had had a go at taking the scort. They've bent the door panel right back, and had a go at the lock by shoving something down. Luckily its an Escort Lock which means it takes me, with a key, sometimes a few tries before it'll unlock so it would've taken them even longer. Thankfully both Escort and contents are safe, the garage down the road from me managed to bend the door back to shape, for a moment I thought I was looking at trying to find a second hand door in my colour, which would not have been easy. Can't belive how easy Escorts are to break into! http://www.jamessnape.co.uk/es2.jpg http://www.jamessnape.co.uk/es1.jpg http://www.jamessnape.co.uk/es3.jpg Taken the morning after when it was parked on my drive. The Police said they would come round last night (Thus Eve) and have as I reported it, but no contact yet and I wasn't about to leave the car in that state after they didn't turn up.

SLEEMAN Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 best way to prevent it happening again is tuck some razor blades in behind the rubbers it will chop their fingers off in seconds.....well not literally but it would be fun trying to see them attempt to break in whilst slicing their fingers open! not sure whether its legal but hey you can get dna evidence and possibly get the police to do csi and track them down for attempted theft next time!

Lee_2f2f Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Terrible that, good to see its easily sorted though, they bust the lock on mine & kicked the wing in. b@stards its never good having yor car broken into regardless of what it is. at least nothing was taken mate. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a134/2f2fescort2f2f/LastPhotos.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a134/2f2fescort2f2f/Photo-0055.jpg hope you catch the f**ker if he tries it again.

That;s not a bad idea... but they'd soon get rusty! Even better! FFS that gap is easily big enough to get at the interior handles to unlock it (unless u double lock it which renders the interior handles useless) They are useless chavs!
