Broken into last night
Car got broken into last night with a JVC stereo and my suit nicked (whilst also searching through everything else going)
How easy is it to bend the door frame back into shape?
It's just the inconvenience that gets me - and the fact it's already cost me £250 before I even start to try and replace things... W*nkers

Merely pointing at the obvious, clear case of could have been prevented I'm afraid. Lots of pikeys and crackheads out there, don't create an opportunity for them.
Stupid crime as a secondhand JVC fetches peanuts + the suit more than likely won't fit and won't resell unless it's some prada or whatever brand.

I had this too the day before fast show!  And nothing was on show either as I never leave anything in there valuable over night.
Luckily nothing was taken from mine but its still extremely annoying! Managed to bend it back in time for the show but its still not perfect along with the crease lines and wind gets noisy when going faster.
If youre after a new door then have a look on ebay as i got mine for about £30 i think. Will be fitting it tomorrow hopefully.

yeah fucking twats did it to my old saxo, its easy to bend back though. Usually you can do it without shattering the glass if they haven't already done that.

To be fair I am only too aware that its my own fault (thanks to those that pointed that out?!) but as the guy who came to finger print said - I haven't had to come out to a stereo being nicked in at least 2 years?!
I've just got lazy with the stereo front and it was parked in my drive right under the window but no-one heard anything. Its more just the inconvenience that does me.

Thanks to those that it could be bent back too. Did it this aft and it actually doesn't look too bad - just the screwdriver mark where the roof meets the door

I've not heard of stereos going missing for years and years. I never take the face off mine unless I'm somewhere really rough.
