So I woke up this morning to find my car was not where I parked it... Anyway after walking 200 meters down the road I found it again... Ignition completely hacked stearing lock smashed computer tampered with.. Lucky for me I have a secret kill swich which they couldn't find!

Just a warning out to every one.. These scum bags are out there! The police have been informed.

By forensic report they usually mean they will turn up to your house randomly a few months later.. fingerprint the car, leave the shit dust crap and never get anywhere..

If they don't show up in a couple of days, I personally wouldnt bother.. Unless you arent requiring the car anytime soon..

It's been said time and time again, if they want it, they'll get it.

The idea with security controls is to make it difficult enough that the thieves decide its not worth the hassle (and possibly move on to an easier target, but then its someone elses problem). For example, safes are rated on how long they take the crack under a standardised environment.

IMO, yes an alarm is worth it (for example, it may have saved the OP a smashed steering column) and if it appears that its going off for no reason multiple times, be aware that this is one way thieves trick people into turning it off. So if that happens, hide close by with a shotgun/baseball bat/German Shepard etc :devil:

      If I got a dollar for every flipped commuter missile I've driven past I'd have two dollars   Some people get into wild adventures on the road and I doubt it's gender or ethnicity specific. I'm just glad I don't usually drive during peak times.

      Just got the car back and gave it a good run back home Power wise, whilst it only made a extra 5 killerwasps up top at 7200 rpm, it made more power everywhere from 2500 rpm and kept pulling much harder all the way, to the point of me relearning when to shift so I don't hit the 7200 limiter, with the old intake it seemed to take alot more time to rev out, and, throttle response is also much improved  As I didn't want to remove the bumper every time I serviced the air filter (basically every aftermarket and fabricated CAI has the filter behind the bumper) it currently has a hektic exposed pod in the engine bay sucking in hot air, this will be rectified shortly after some some of my CAD (cardboard assisted design) for a alloy heat shield feed by the OEM intake tube behind the bumper, this will cop some wrinkle black paint, as well as the intake pipe for that totally OEM look... The only fly in the ointment was that the OEM "strut" brace doesn't fit over the rear runner of the new intake with the 2.5 engine is in the engine bay, as the 2.5 raises the engine up by 20mm, it's not a war stopper, and I didn't notice any difference without it in some twisties, but....... MX5 Mania is bringing in some GWR "fancy pants" braces that apparently do fit, if it bolts up I'll grab it, it is also stiffer than the OEM one, which is a bonus All in all I'm happy with the outcome      Fancy pants "strut" brace that gives the required clearance      This is where the clearance issue was, the GWR extends out past this
