   Hey all,
   
   Woke up for work this morning to be put in total shock.
   I walked out the front door and looked at my saxo to discover somthing was missing.
   
   MY SPOILER!!!!!!
   
   It was ripped clean off and all that was left where two bolts in my roof, one with a piece of plastic on it.
   
   Could the spoiler they robbed be still usable? Surly it would of snapped off rather then pulled off.
   
   I phoned the police just to complain about lack of saftey in the area as my car has been done twice in the past 6 months.
   
   
   Im gonna get a new one ASAP, But how can i make it harder for them to take it off my car?
   
   Please, any help ASAP would be great!
   
   
   Regards

   not much you can really as if they want it they will get it off
   
   bond it on aswell as bolts
   
   they could bond it on
   
   they might of just done it for a life and its chucked in some garden near by

   I thort they did it for a laugh as well, a very extreme long hard laugh!
   
   I did go have a look around the estate for it, but cudnt see it.
   
   I did stop sharply when i saw something blue in a bush, but it was sadley a crisp packet, cheese and onion walkers i think lol
   
   Bonding it on would probly be a good idea.
   
   Does any one know if the spoiler they robbed would be fittable to another car, cause i think they snapped it off as there is a peice of plastic left on one of the nuts

   I know,
   
   I think some one in the area is keeping an eye on my car and telling other car theifs about it.
   
   It supprised me that they didt break into my car via the drivers lock method, because that has been done before in the past few months so its very vunreble to theifs who know how to do it.
   
   I think who every took it must of known it was was there, and thats all they came for.
   
   It upsets me how hard i work for my car accesories, just to be taken by some worthless trash

   Nope, not upset anyone. its not like i go off racing other modded cars either. and im no chav.
   
   It could possibly be the same people who robbbed my 6X9 speakers (including parcel shelf)
   
   Ive looked on ebay for a spoiler and found a few alreadys sprayed the same colour as mine.
   Any one eles know where i could get one the same as the picture in the post above?

    thats crap dude.
    I would seriously consider investing in a decent alarm... especially if you feel the car is being targetted.

    Sticky Fingered Discount - Shamless there is no reason to nick other peoples stuff.
    
    Sorry to hear that mate, someone had only posted the other day someone had nicked his rear wiper arm!
    
    Only safe place these days is in the garage with a large lock but like said above 'if they Really want it! dont matter what you do, Their take it'
    
    Becarefull tho, bonding is strong (no doubting that) but if they come back for a second go any try and rip it off they could end up doing more damage than go.

    I do have a good alarm, but didt go off for some strange reason when they where taking my Spoiler.
    
    Yea, cleaned out the garage straight after i found out it happend, its going away tonight!
    
    Does anyone know how long it would take to pull a spoiler off?
