On a Saturday morning finding out some idiot stole my aerial on my Renault Clio. Has anyone had this experience before and is there any way to prevent this happening?

    Someone stole the aerial off my Renault 19, I replaced it with one from the local scrapyard (off a megane).

    To stop it happening again you can just carefully use some thread adesive, or even superglue, when you screw it on (carefull because too much could insulate the connection). Alternativly you could stick it on with heated window repair paint or by melting solder onto it and screwing it on very quick.

    If the angle of your aerial can be adjusted you will still be able to remove it for car washes etc by taking the screw out of the side of the base, although you may need a torx screwdriver.

    Hope this is of some help.
