                    On Saturday 6th my car was broken into at one of euro car parks city centre car parks. I met an attendant and he said there was nothing they could do, I couldn't claim anything off them and it was my own fault. There was no CCTV and the security guard who are supposed to keep check on the car park wasn't there nor had he bothered to check around the car park where, if he did he would have seen my passenger window completely smashed in, I, just wondering whether there is anything I can do?!

            No. You didn't pay for your car to be guarded. And even if the attendant had spotted your window broken, it would have been after the event.0

            Neither you nor Euro Car Parks are at fault -it's the thief who broke into your car that is to blame."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

            Unfortunately, Euro Car Parks are also only there to rob motorists.If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5?

            It's a bit naive to think that anyone could seriously protect cars in a large car park. Even if you paid to park. You are paying for the privilege of being able to park, not for your car to be guarded. As someone has already stated.
The person you thought was a security guard was no such thing. He was just a muppet whose job is to note down cars that are transgressing their nit picking and potentially money grabbing list of infringements.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0
