Some very nice hard working gentlemen who suffer from insomnia tried to break into Herman at 4am on sat night . (cant type my real expression of hate)
The dogs heard them and started barking , so they never managed to steal Herman or anything inside.
Now what they did was cut the rubber seal around the passenger side quarter light and remove the glass without breaking it (they kindly placed it against the wifes car) .
I concluded they did a runner before getting into Herman , as the door was still locked . But when i ran Mertrux to order a new window seal , they told me the `nice gentlemen` were after my catalyst , as they remove the window , reach in & pull the bonnet release catch , then unbolt the exhaust at the manifold and pull it off in a oner !!
So i went & checked the bonnet .....and yes it was pulled !
Now i have seen lots of things you can buy to protect your Catalyst , but some are expensive . But if they are going to remove the whole exhaust system , that would be little use as it protects it been cut off !
What experiances have you had ?......of course all bad !
By they was new window seal was £18.00 & in stock and a mate will refit it tomorrow.
