I've already got that covered tho, by ensuring my Astra is a '98 model and worthless!

Similar thing was happening to Fiat 500's not long back - big demand for front ends and airbag kits.

I've had the front end off a Suzuki Jimny stolen whilst it was on my Forecourt.

They covered the security Cameras and moved two other Cars to get it into an out of sight area,the whole front end and some of the Suspension was missing,no doubt my Car was the same colour as the damaged one.Insurance Company wrote it off.

This happened to my Girlfriends 2008 Diesel Fiesta.

The scrotes stole the whole front bumper!!

It is a Zetec S so has the sportier bumper.

Clean ripped off, quite easy to do with all of those trim clips etc.

My girlfriend was pretty upset as it left the car undrinkable.

I managed to get a whole bumper from a breakers yard.

I then used nuts and bolts and plenty of self tapping screws to put it back on, it won@t be coming off in a hurry now.
