Don't be annoyed. It's not unusual. It is unlikely in the extreme that he will evade arrest for more than a couple of days.

Indeed, they know where he lives - he can't sleep on friends' sofas or whatever forever....

LMAO, well I know they aren't mine because none of the clips were broken

Seriously though, before I bid I did a bit of digging and the guy is breaking an 07 plate Astra, he had quite a few other bits like bumpers etc in the same colour so I was reasonably certain they weren't dodgy

Final update.....

Compensation in excess of £700 was awarded to a dozen motorists after ******* admitted stealing plastic mirror covers off their cars.

Magistrates heard the majority of the vehicles involved were Vauxhall Astras.

******, aged 41, of **********, pleaded guilty to just one offence of stealing plastic mirror covers off a Vauxhall Astra but he asked for 11 other offences to be taken into consideration.

The magistrates imposed a two month curfew order from 7pm and 7am which will be electronically monitored and told the defendant that he must pay compensation totalling more than £700 to the vehicle owners affected by his action.

******** also admitted failing without a reasonable cause to surrender to the court as soon as practicable on December 8.

We have been awarded £122.68p. Payable by the thief to the court then to us. 50p a week for the foreseeable future I imagine but nice to have closure.

Good. Serves the cheating scum right.

Well done on catching the little **** with the camera however seeing as the cost of that kit is a loss caused by his thievery, maybe you could also sue him for the recovery of that cost and the stress and lost time of installing etc.

Somehow cant see any compo coming my way. He wont admit to stealing the original £100 covers so all I can get him for is the £25ish plain black replacements because simply that is all we have evidence of him doing. Local Police have just released this:

Yep, shocked me a bit as well, he didn't look that old on the CCTV, his accomplice certainly wasn't that old.
