Attempted theft of Mk1 Campaign

I've just found out that some thieving toe rag tried to break into my Campaign last night

Found a straightened coat hanger by the rear wheel and the passenger door window seal has been pulled away from the window....is nothing safe these days from low life scum

They wouldn't have got it started even if they had got in to it as it's got a Thatcham Cat 2 Immobiliser fitted.....but that's not really the point!

So anyone in Derbyshire and elsewhere beware!

The crazy thing is I haven't even finished putting it back together after removing bumpers to clean the brackets and bumper irons

 

You would think they would be after more modern cars these days.

 

Modern cars aren't as easy to steal....hence them going for the valuable classic cars

 

Exactly this, easy to steal and worth more than most modern stuff!

 

On a side note, if that's its original plate, it was registered here in haverfordwest, and would have been supplied by Forge Haverfordwest, (now a lidl). Glad they didn`t do any major damage.

 

Best visual deterrant you can get is a massive disk lock. Nothing says 'sod off' more than that I reckon!

Glad they didn't take the beaut.

Yep it's the original plate

All being well I should be at Inters with it tomorrow

 

To nice to leave on the street,no garage i take it?.

 

I do have a garage....but I've got another one in there already!

 

Nice looking MK1, and glad to see it's still there ........

 

Likewise,

I had loads of issues untill I got big disc lock and that seems to put off the young toerags.

Now I've gone for a small wheel it no longer fits and My lock was a small one to begin with so I'm going to have a snap off boss for my Wheel now.

 

Have someone weld a strap to the side edge, done this on one of mine to fit the mini. Works a treat.
