I don't know about that...there's a reason they cost so much, and it isn't just because of the badge...the amount of time spent getting little details just right is amazing.

Sorta suprises me too that not a single person attempted to prevent this from happening, being a cafe strip, surely there would have been some plastic backed tablecloths or something that could have been used as an interim measure.

I have had to do this exact thing when my workmate left his A4 convertible at work without the keys with the roof down. The quick throwing of a plastic sheet over his car saved him thousands in repairs and excesses, even it it needed a damn good polish to remove the light scratching from the plastic sheet.

Or is it completely not worth the effort these days to try and assist a fellow motorist in such a situation?

Oh man, such a nice car. If he (or she) can afford one then they can afford another, no skin off their nose.

Haha, you make a very valid point.
Bet the windscreen was clear!
