The backs of both wing mirrors on our Mini Cooper have been ripped off. So annoying, can't imagine someone actually wanted them. We've had a look around, but if anyone finds something chucked into their garden that looks like it might be one or both (they'll look like an empty black plastic dish, the innards have been left on the car) please contact me before you throw them away. The car was parked on Goodrich Road, just off the crossroads with Landcroft Road. Thanks!

Check your cars, folks, but can't see what we can do to prevent this sort of thing. The car was parked on Goodrich Road, just off the crossroads with Landcroft Road. Thanks!

A colleague at work has recently had the door mirrors stolen from her Mini Cooper S (BMW need ?300 parts most effective). whilst she knowledgeable the police it turned into the eleventh case that weekend in the location so truly a person became doing the rounds and no question those will seem on ebay or similar.


They had been removed suprisingly without problems and they left no damage to the doorways - they did a real precise task.

Reputedly all you do is pass something to get entry to the securing bolts {wording barely modified so as now not to present away a way to get rid of them - DD. Then they come easy off.

Saw someone had done this to a mini on Underhill last week.

They?d pulled it off obviously as it from the footpath side, not bashed on the road, and was lying across the road under another car. Sorry to hear so many thick people out there think they?re funny

Same happened to me, extremely annoying!


-Sorry to hear. Probably parts stolen to order. I once had the entire interior of a Golf VR6 stolen (seats, leather trim - even the gear knob). They left everything else - even a bunch of CDs and the money in the coin drawer.

Woah thats crazy!

Thanks, all. The garage didn't seem surprised either, and already had some in that matched well enough. (Felt a bit silly when I saw how quickly they popped them on, though.) Anyway, I'll stop whinging now I've heard about davidq's Golf, and maybe tomorrow I'll stop looking out of the window to make sure we still have a whole car...

    • Houses subject to these taxes aren't the average house though either.    They are ordinary houses that just happen to be marginally more expensive than the ones the Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer each rent out. 
    • ??? Average London house prices in 1970 (from land registry) = £5190, £72,000 in today's money. London houses were getting on for 5 times the national average wage in 1970, if we used that as a formula that would be around £200k for an average London house today.    
    • The average house in London was nothing like £68k in the sixties.  I suspect our fictional hard done by ED pensioner probably paid something more like £6k.  Also your interest calculations are  abit dodgy.  Our pensioner did not buy the house for £2m so would not be paying anything like that interest.    As for more recent buyers, I doubt many purchasers of £2m houses are doing so with a 95% mortgage. @Ebenezer I agree with CGT on primary residences. There are a few ways to cut this bit the fact remains housing wealth has been  massively undertaxed and it is a growing source of intergenerational inequality.
    • Cost of Covid to government estimated at £400 billion Cost to the economy of leaving Europe estimated at  £32 billion a year  Cost  to UK due to Russia invading Ukraine £100 Billion plus Some analyses suggest that by 2018/19, austerity had suppressed the economy by nearly £100 billion, equivalent to over £3,600 per household, and led to a 2% reduction in GDP by 2015. The long-term effects include a weaker economy, lower wages, and a failure to reduce the fiscal deficit as effectively as intended, partly because lower growth reduced tax revenues You can do the maths yourself
