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...

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
