Saw an XF sedan in the shopping centre the other day, with a club lock
on the steering wheel, ok I can live with that.

Then noticed the gladwrap substitute passenger window, and when I walked
past both passenger side doors & B-Pillar stoved in like it had been head
butted by a 10foot wombat, a definate write off.

turn on the boot light...... from the inside. :-)

It might have been someone's only transport without theft insurance. Id
still secure my car because of the inconvenience if it went missing.

I don't need to be paranoid, if I cant see my good car its not safe unless
its locked in the garage.

My other car well thats a different story I can leave it anywhere without a
second thought.

cheers

Its the damage which makes it a lot worse. You can disable the car so it
cant be driven, but that's only part of the story.

IME,..park in a floodlit area, either with your own triggered lights or
illuminated public area plus a good aural alarm for when they open the door
whch may as well be east to open, to stop the damage.
