Someone nicked my car battery!?!

[SeanHitz]

I thought it was odd when it didn't start the other day. Call the rac and imagine my surprise to see that the battery wasn't even there! It's not an expensive thing, so don't really care, but just telling everyone that we got it changed recently and a bloke was hanging around asking the rac man to fix his car....could be related? I don't know, just goes to show how crap the car is, if that's the only thing they could find worth nicking!

Sorry for another negative post, I'm actually pretty philosophical about these things....they happen....

I thought the old MG looked a bit odd, one night when I got home from work.

Oh... they've nicked the roof.

You're taking it well

Many years ago, somebody broke into my ancient car and stole - the first aid box :))

[Loz]

I used to have an old Astra. One night, someone smashed the rear door window, opened the car, took one look at my radio and left it where it was.

The shame.

[titch juicy]

a few years back my brother's car got broken into and amongst other things stole my cdr copies of an arctic monkeys album and libertines album, but left original copies of my brother's keane and robbie williams albums.

I forgave them, on the grounds of taste

I put my lunchbox into the fridge at work. Come dinner time the butties had gone but the Kit Kat remained!!

Never again did my sarnies go in the fridge!!!!

Wow LYMan- such restraint- if I had ben around it wouild have been the kit kat that went- must have been great sarnies- definitely stolen by a man - I would say.

[LaineyB]

Oh dear, I actually used that as a humorous end to a "what will they steal next" joke the other day

Hope it doesn't cost you too much to repair

[tomdhu]

So they took the battery but left the car!

You are not running a Trabant are you? :))

I came home the other day, someone had broken in, stolen everything. Then they had put it back exactly as they found it, and fixed the lock so that when I came home everything was normal.

Bastards.

I have a feeling that was a Tommy Cooper joke, possibly written for him by Peter Vincent.

Your car wouldn't start and so you called the RAC without looking under the bonnet yourself to try and solve the problem in the first instance-are you female?

Along the same lines, our old housemate was about to climb into his car early one winter morning years ago when he felt something was odd. All 4 brand new tyres were gone leaving the car neatly propped up on the bricks that they had nicked from the renovation across the street. While we're waiting for the police, neighbour arrives but instead of tea & sympathy, the grumpy sod demands his bricks back!

In response to this, I didn't have time to check as I had to jump on the bus to get to my footy match in time. But yes, the following day, the misses did call out the rac before looking under the hood as I was at work. To be fair, I would've known, but not tried to replace it....

Does this count as positive (+) or a negative (-) news? :-S

When I was a student in Glasgow I was borrowing my dads jeep and had it parked outside my flat. Someone broke in and stole nothing except a big catering size tub of Jellybelly jelly beans despite it having an amazing radio that we had spent a bit of money on. We concluded that it was simply students high on something who got the munchies!
