The backs of both wing mirrors on our Mini Cooper have been ripped off. So annoying, can't imagine someone actually wanted them. We've had a look around, but if anyone finds something chucked into their garden that looks like it might be one or both (they'll look like an empty black plastic dish, the innards have been left on the car) please contact me before you throw them away. The car was parked on Goodrich Road, just off the crossroads with Landcroft Road. Thanks!

Check your cars, folks, but can't see what we can do to prevent this sort of thing. The car was parked on Goodrich Road, just off the crossroads with Landcroft Road. Thanks!

A colleague at work has recently had the door mirrors stolen from her Mini Cooper S (BMW need ?300 parts most effective). whilst she knowledgeable the police it turned into the eleventh case that weekend in the location so truly a person became doing the rounds and no question those will seem on ebay or similar.


They had been removed suprisingly without problems and they left no damage to the doorways - they did a real precise task.

Reputedly all you do is pass something to get entry to the securing bolts {wording barely modified so as now not to present away a way to get rid of them - DD. Then they come easy off.

Saw someone had done this to a mini on Underhill last week.

They?d pulled it off obviously as it from the footpath side, not bashed on the road, and was lying across the road under another car. Sorry to hear so many thick people out there think they?re funny

Same happened to me, extremely annoying!


-Sorry to hear. Probably parts stolen to order. I once had the entire interior of a Golf VR6 stolen (seats, leather trim - even the gear knob). They left everything else - even a bunch of CDs and the money in the coin drawer.

Woah thats crazy!

Thanks, all. The garage didn't seem surprised either, and already had some in that matched well enough. (Felt a bit silly when I saw how quickly they popped them on, though.) Anyway, I'll stop whinging now I've heard about davidq's Golf, and maybe tomorrow I'll stop looking out of the window to make sure we still have a whole car...

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
