    Who the hell steals an aerial?

    So I bought a Sharan aerial from DubAddiction a few weeks ago and I'm walking back to my car when I realise that my aerial has gone.

    First I thought it fell off. Like the glue not holding the rubber to the screw or something, but I was wrong -- It was deliberately unscrewed.

    Anyway, I've ordered another one. This time, I'm going to Loctite it down. Theiving little bastards.

      no i think thats fair enough. it happens way too often to take a chance and leave it on. why should some scumbag get a free one from your car you've paid for, then you have to pay for another one.

          ...yet if you were to hook up a taser to the ariel YOU would be wrong...

          If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

                sad but it happens way too often here in South Africa too - funny thing is that the retards here steal the normal ones too - in my older car a citi golf they tried to remove the base as well and damaged the roof panel - cost a packet to have that straightened out just for a cheap aerial (more than a 100 times the cost of the actual aerial for the repair by my calculations)

                why cant people just be honest - its a sad state of affairs that other people will want your stuff instead of just buying their own - and people who steal are truly sad - i dont blame the Saudi Arabians for cutting off a thieves hands

                  I wouldnt locktite it..

                  I did that many years ago in my barina.. guess what... it was snapped off and then couldnt get the bottom part off..

                  Let them take it... just take it off when you leave it in dodgy places.

                      lol sorry, but it's one reason why I've been holding off getting a stubby aluminium aerial. People will steal anything that's not bolted down. It's one of those things you have to risk. Fortunately they don't cost an arm and a leg to replace.

                      Damn low lifes.

                        Just got my new one in the mail. Thanks for the quick delivery, Tim!

                        Don't like the idea that it could snap off with the locktite, so I'll just take it with me whenever I park in a questionable area.
