I bent it back into approximate shape, but I'll be surprised if it seals
properly. Replacement door from a scrappy, I suppose; hopefully I can
find one in a similar colour.

Grrr.

Move somewhere less pikey etc.

Yay, thank you. I can't believe that no-one else has suggested it.

As it happens, that is part of the masterplan. The place I'm in isn't
intrinsically pikey, but its a natural thoroughfare between a council sink
estate and the local parkland, so a good spot for observing the nocturnal
****ed scally. Anyway, I've been putting up with it for economic reasons
whilst house prices drop and savings grow, but it might indeed be time to
MSLP...


Believe me, it's nice to be able to live somewhere where you can use the
summer opening feature to vent the car without finding some scrote has
rifled through the thing in the five minutes the windows have been down.
