Easy to repair: the other side of the coin...

Any news worthy story. Good things to watch at the Cinema, Theatre, on TV or have you read a good book lately?

Car stripped for parts in Digbeth while owner at gig

A driver has described being left devastated and hysterical after discovering her car had been stripped for parts while she attended a concert.

Rebecca Scotland parked the Citroen C1 in a Digbeth car park while at a show at the O2 Academy in Birmingham.
On returning to the vehicle she discovered the whole of the front exterior had been taken.
Good for making things repairable, but perhaps having panels which are easily-unbolted and replaced isn't a wholly-good thing!

She left it parked in Degbeth! At night!

Now, admittedly, I've not lived in that area for over 30 years but I wouldn't have parked a car there even if I was still sitting in it.
