SOrry Cranners to hear about ur windscreen, if i were you, i'd be looking at neighbours who don'tlike you, or people who you know who don't like you that well having a grudge, if your gonna leave your car open a night, rather than in a garage, i'd be putting up a powerful spot light over your car with a sensor, or an infared camera over the car, may sound stupid and a couple of hundred bucks, but ifyour car is gonna be always out there, i think its worth investing, just incase it happens next time...
thought thats my 2cents - Ash

The police caught someone trying to break into a car on Sunday morning about 5 mins drive from where i live, this car happened to be a policemans car, two men were arrested in realation to the crime.
Fingers crossed but i doubt it, these two men may be linked to the damage to my car and the few other falcons that have been damaged in the last few weeks in my area. I have booked the car in for a new windscreen which will be fitted on Friday morning.... Then ive goto get it tinted to match the sides and buy some new stickers i've also goto get a small amount of body damage fixed which was a result of the brick hitting the window frame at the top of the window, at the end of the day i doubt ill get much change out of $1000 which includes the inconvience (sp) of dropping mum off to work each morning being 1 car short..... I guess looking on the bright side, ill be able to re design my back window sticker layout and have a reason to park my car in the shed forever :-) |

I know its terrible, but the stickers weren't exactly doing you any favours.. The more stuff on your car that attracts attention, the more likely it is to be targetted by jealous low lives.
For this reason, I only have small stickers that can be appreciated by people who know what they mean. It's a harsh reality, but attracting unwanted attention is a problem that can only be addressed by removing anything obscure/eye-catching.
