OH MY GOD!!!!!

Thats absolutely discusting, what did the police say? do u have an alarm fitted that has motion sensors? might be a good investment also a cctv outside ur house? may sound excessive but you may catch them one day!!

Oh that is just out of order, where are you in Essex? Do you need a hand sorting it out?

Bloody kids, how would they feel if it happened to them!!!

this is heartless, brawlyox is right get a cctv camera to catch those arses doing damage, so if they come back again you can find them and give them a kick in the crown jewels :dontgetit:

think the cctv idea is a good one gonna look into costs etc and the joy of id the f**kers would be priceless..appreciate all your comments,think the reason im so gutted is me and the missus have been up and down the country since ive owned that and met some real nice people and had a brilliant time at all 3 shows weve been too,guess thats what makes mini ownership so cool they become a member of your family...jeez i must be turning soft in my old age

its a shame they didn't roll it on themselves, thieving i can comprehend (ie you steal something to make money)but mindless vandelism is just pointless what do they get from it? If you find them let us know and we'll get the bolt cutters on their fingers!

From what you say , i would say that it can be pushed back into shape using a porto power (10 ton hydraulic ran + atatchments) ,
basicaly you push the damage out in the oposite direction until the diagonal measurements are the same .
(this could do with a diagram to explane!, shame i cant work out how to put them up :sad: )

that is awful, makes me sick to the stomach - its not the first time we've heard stories of vandalism on here either. it only happens to Mini's too, people must be so jealous of them. Makes me want to torture them slowly, and burn anything they've ever worked hard for in their lives. (actually, they never work anyway, they rely on the state so that wouldn't work). They're the ones who crash into you without insurance so you're left with the bill, and fiddle benefits so we all suffer.

I'm gutted for you mate, really am. I hope you get it sorted soon, and when/if you find them then do what you think is necessary.

:dontgetit: :dontgetit: :thumbsup:
