No stress Frank. I was not phased by it. Some moron broke into a car with alarm to steal broken things.Sucks be to them..heheh. I have just realised from the last time to avoid leaving valuables in the car. During work I have a big steel box which is bolted to the floor and then padlocked ridiculously.

I was joking to my kids about it on the way home..we were laughing about it.

No. It was not Rick. Maybe the signage is a magnet?

I'd say so.
No offence, but what other reason would thieves target a povo pack Falcon wagon?

My daughter had her front passenger window smashed and a Myer plastic carry bag removed from the passenger side floor.

All the bag had in it was rubbish from clean out of the car...

I think if thieves are around where your car is there's not much we can do :(

Sounds like to me that there needs to be a setup and some sort of surveillance, leave your car there.. and do a bit of a stake out.. catch these blokes.. and call the cops, time to pay back i think...

Povo pack = poverty pack = base model Falcon = usually not very appealing to thieves unless something else catches their eye.
