Leave it unlocked but have a Carpet Viper Snake inside, these
little critters are very nasty and short tempered.

Don't know how you will get in though.

Hi zz.....sorry to hear about your break-in......even though I have a cat 1 alarm immobiliser fitted....my biggest fear is that some scrote will do the same to me....even though the alarm will go off if they break a window....it's the hassle of getting it fixed.....can't fault autoglass as they tracked down a replacement window for my Mazda 626...( the only window stocked in this country )....well pleased with their service.....good luck with the new window and happy Bongoing.........Alan
Alan...still plodding on....!

you can just go through your insurance to save the pain of trying to get it back

Autoglass normally take the windscreen excess from you when they replace the window and they claim off your insurance.....that's my experience.....have your insurance cert handy.....Alan

that will be less your x/s, autoglass are so pushy when it comes to paying, they always try geting the money first so when they mess you about you cant go to another company.
