My Mk1 Stolen And Torched

In my opinion, it is a good example of the way society is sliding. I don't mean to generalise, but younger generations (assuming it was young people) seem to have a diminishing respect for heritage, history or sentiment. The fact that they would pick on older cars because they're easier to break into is despicable. Why weren't they taken to classic car shows as kids? If I was ever inclined to steal a car and torch it, I'd at least have the respect not to do it to a piece of living history!
Dunno what else to say. I've made myself more angry.
I sincerely hope something gets worked out to your satisfaction, or at least as much as you can get from the situation.
Maybe time we all stated putting alarms on out little magic boxes. Or keep an angry dog on the back seat.

Can't imagine how you must be feeling right now, but all the best to you and your next mini. And well I hope the little pricks are caught and sent down!

Was just pushed over the road and burnt out. Totally pointless. Just had a visit from plod and apparently there was a lot of other vehicle crime around the area that night. They are linking it all and expect to collar someone.
Have they said anything about the mini itself, any chance you can get it back and restore it or had the damage gone too far?

That really is mindless thuggery! How someone can do that is beyond me.
