   Woke up last nite to my car alarm goin off. So went out to turn it off. (Alarm always goes off) so went to and opened the door and turned the alarm off by that on dash button, went to close my door and the door would not shut I fort why it not shutting, then did I see they bent my drivers door away from the car about 10 inches, drove around the estate for about 30 mins see if I could see anyone etc..
   
   But anyway no one was seen, I bent the door back but its not sitting close to the car cant get it back anymore and its now easy to get the fingers in to do it again.. I just wondering if anyone had this door and how much would it cost do garage to fix the door for me, as dont want them coming back

   I tried to bend it back with the window open but its not bending back so I think it might have be a new door job, when saw it I felt sick and still do this morning, just praying they dont come back or I would end up killing them

   put some wood inbetween door and car inline with handle then bend it back. some bstards get into my old corsa like that that was only way i could bend it back. be careful of the paint splitting and cracking on door where it meets window

   Yes it will be weaker but as they are made of tin foil anyway would not worry about it. Hope you don't get any repeat attacks mate

   Pull off a few wires under the bonnet such as coil pack and that g force sensor that cutts fuel pump off in an accident - has a red button on top - located behind the battery in engine bay. That way they won't have fuel or sparks and would be forced to tow your car away if they wanted it which would be hampered by the clamp and lock youe are thinking of getting.
   
   Can you put a webcam on the window sill in your home to keep an eye on it and maybe record to hard disk over night while your asleep?
   
   edit: I wonder if anywhere makes a valve that can be put in line with the fuel pipe to cutt fuel supply also?
