Returned home to my parents house afew years ago to find my ERST with both door locks hanging out.Just my luck really because i had left the battery disconnected day before,hence alarm not working cos i had removed starter motor to have recon.Heard later on of a kid mouthing off bout trying to take a mercury grey turbo with polished 5 spokes.Knew it had to be my car.I was at school with this joker and knew who he was as he was my younger brothers age.I later sold ERST and bought rs1800.Was out drivg one night when i spotted the low life hanging about outside leisure centre with a load of other street rats.I parked the fiesta and approached the group,as i did he even had the cheek to say Thats mint that is mate hav nt seen that around.I seen red straight away and Knocked the little prick clean out and then spat on his face.Rest of the lads just stood frozen to the spot.As i drove away i knew i did nt make up for cost of having car de locked but it cert made me feel better.
My dad had his first car stolen from a pub car park.It was a mint mk1 mini cooper,white with black roof.Was found on top of a mountain.When he turned up to see it someone was trying to remove subframe which apart from seatbelts was the only thing left of it.He was devastated.Will to dig out pics and post
