truCido Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Well we got everything ready pretty much but mapping was foiled by a dodgy crank sensor so couldn't map it on the standalone ecu without it so that was that. However I had a phone call Monday morning and was greeted by this... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjw Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Basterds! Cant belive they jacked it up with a fork lift! Did they steal anything from inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEP51 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) So unfortunate... where was it parked? any cctv, surely if there was a pump-truck there it must be industrial with security. Edited May 31, 2011 by BEP51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesU Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Tossers...Wdy did they smash the window if there was nothing to grab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks everyone no cctv watching the area they came in (completely unexpected that someone would come up over that wall due to the way it is). However more will be installed now I think lolI think they smashed the window just to open the boot because I had the cover tucked inside the boot, they didnt touch anything inside though.
