That's my way of thinking because i will put the fookers in traction, already have a criminal record for ABH.. and i will gladly fooking fook em up so they never will do it again.

So sorry to hear about it. It really annoys me when this happens and specially the fact that it is another Volvo owner who did it. No matter how cheap or expensive the part is, it is simply wrong to steal from others.

I say HANG THEM FROM THEIR BALLS thieving selfish b^st^rds

Cool

This incident reminds me of the old days when the owner of a company who was not exactly popular with his employees had the Silver lady on the front of his Rolls stolen whilst parked in the factory executive parking area. It was stolen by one of the fitters using a small crow bar and a large pair of vice grips, because I think it was an auto retract fitting.

When the owner next visited the factory the driver had to stay with the Rolls and when I passed by and pretended to grab the Silver lady, he shouted out, "Don't touch it boy, the boss had it wired to a 1000v mini transformer!".
The factory burnt down a few years after the incident with the Rolls and the fire department said it was probably arson or some chap smoking near the waste paper storage area. There was a paint storage shed next to it and the fire spread very quickly to the main production area and the dart boards they made burn rather well.

Perhaps we should club together and rig up an old Volvo with Silver wipers designed to fry the thief!
