...they're fecking IDIOTS too.
Walk past the shuv, notice the door's ajar.
Walk up to it, the steering column shroud is lying in bits on the floor and wires are everywhere.
The passenger door lock has been popped, they've reached across to the drivers door and opened it.
Two very important things about my car:
1: it has no petrol in it. 2: it has no battery.
BUT
The most important thing about it is the sign in the drivers window saying 'this car has nothing valuable in it, no battery and no petrol. The engine hasn't started in 4 months.'
Plebs.
Anyone know how to fix my ignition...?
May have to knock up an alloy plate for everything now...

Set of curse word. Whats the condition of the door lock can you secure it? If you need a hand give me a shout. Easily fit a push button starter and a hidden ignition key

I'm thinking of leaving the wires hanging everywhere, fitting the ignition under the drivers seat and leaving it unlocked...

Leave it as is.
Surely the curse word aren't that thick.
My dad had the ignition barrel hanging out on his volvo for 2 years, and he never locked it either. Oddly, no curse word bothered with it when it was like that.

Put a bottle of battery acid in a vodka bottle on the passenger seat this is a really good idea ;D or you could just leave it unlocked. that way they wont have to damage it to get in. as soon as they realise it wont start and theres nothing valuable inside theyll probably clear off. of vandalise the car. put a sign up that says there IS something valuable in the car. if i were a robbing git id be very suspicious of a sign like that and leave it well alone

A mate of mine had his Marina broken into while he was at home......repairing his drivers seat in the kitchen! They tried to hotwire the ignition but just made the wipers work..........both turned out to be illegal immigrants.

Bastads. My 100E got broken into but on the bright side they didn't break a window to get in. That's a pig of a job and a new window can be hard to find, but a lock is a pretty easier to do.

Dude, that sucks Might be worth fitting a hidden fuel tap - even if they manage to start it, they will only be able to drive as far as it takes to empty the carburettor float chamber(s). IMHO notes saying that a car has no valuables are not a good idea at all (only exception being company vans with the 'no tools left inside overnight' stickers) as if anything, they suggest that there is something worth stealing inside.

The thing is...there's nothing on show in the car other than a Haynes manual on the passenger seat (which they left...how thoughtful) and there's a gaping hole in the centre console that already had wires/heater controls hanging down...
Can't think of anything other than joyriders wanting it.
Which means it'd end up burned out.

Mate thats really bad news, the best tip i can give is just take the steering wheel off, its only one bolt and if you mark it you can line it up every time. Unfortunatly i don't have any of the bits you need.
