I can only assume it was some drunken prank but this morning I found my car with the passenger door hanging off, some loony has taken a crowbar to it and levered the whole thing off to get inside. And for what? To steal a pair of fluffy dice!!!!

I would have left the car unlocked if that is all they wanted.....they left the stereo worth £300 just nicked my fluffy dice worth 99 pence!! All that crowbar'ing a door off to get them??? Has the world gone mad. They might have just smashed a window for Gods sake, its only 50 quid to fix but a new door is somewhat more.

Unfortunately I may have trouble identifying the fluffy dice. Please be on the lookout for fluffy black and white dice being sold "under the counter" somewhere.....

sorry to hear that! what a bad start to the new year!
i had my car broken into last year and although they only stole from mine they also smashed the windows of my dads car just for the sake of it!! ugh the expense. it will teach me to buy a car alarm and a big dog.

I have a big dog and a car alarm. Problem was the dog was in a deep sleep as it had knocked over and licked up an entire bottle of Baileys at around 1030 pm on New Years EVe, and the alarm for some reason simply was not working at all. Just been trying to fix it but not much point with a door hanging off.

Oh well, the only car crime for me for 4 years so I suppose that was something. Statistically it is supposed to happen more often I think....

50 quid!?! When the missus' Cavalier was broken in to on City Road earlier this year I replaced the entire door, colour matched, for 35 quid. Of course, it came off a scrapper, but it was in great nick (apparently scrapped due to a head on with a lamp post). No scratches and 20 minutes to fit it.

well at least your dog survived, could have been worse due to alchoholic poisoning.

GF that's terrible.

There's a snacks lady who comes round our offices, and she once had her car window put through at night for a carton of crisps and I thought that was bad.

muddycoffee whats terrible, the dog drinking a bottle of baileys or the car door being forced open. for gods sake.

The dog was fine....just slept for 19 hours without so much as a twitch. Got up and ate 2 cans of food afterwards and looked sheepish...

car fixed now, with new set of fluffy dice. Just waiting for them to come back again......actually the door was saved by a block of wood and a lot of pushing and shoving. It looked far worse than it was, just the window frame was bent right over, luckily not breaking the glass and it sort of fell back into shape with 1 hours worth of teasing. Not fantastic, but it looks all right, except the door seals dont work anymore and car filled up with water today. Oh well............better than losing 27 yrs no claims bonus.....

wish i could eat 2 cans of food after a bottle of baileys, can only just manage a slice of toast after half a bottle of vodka ,new years eve, its right what they say it is a dogs life,lol.

i will go drinking with your dog next new years eve ,dont forget to send me the invite.

The dog is something of a recent convert to alcohol...by accident rather than design. Next New Years Eve I may take the wonderful animal out for a pub crawl, but I think there is a rule about serving dogs with alcohol....dont they have to be over 18?
