...an old banger it may be...but it's your old banger and it gets you around.Yes all cards cancelled. Car is an old banger but i will get a steering wheel lock for it. Its a quiet low crime area. My daughters were having a sleepover with friends. Just glad they were not harmed.
If the thieves match the keys to the car and come back for it then because entry was via the keys that could invalidate any insurance claim you may need to make in respect of the car....sorry I'm just thinking out loud here.
I've had several cars stolen in the past and whilst some of them were not that really sentimental it was the loss of all the other "junk" in the car that really niggled me....frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

That is horrible mrs ids. We had the shed broken into once, nothing was taken but I hated the feeling for a long time after.

Sorry this made me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Today I picked some items up that I bought on eBay, while I was there dh spotted a Christmas tree and asked if it was for sale too.
The seller has messaged me because she has found something that goes with what I bought, so I told her I would send dh tomorrow as I was at work.
She then replied with " can you tell the older man, who's interested in the Xmas tree, that he can have it for £30 :eek::eek: and I will send it with your husband tomorrow "
The older man, was my husband and the younger man was my future son in law :eek::eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotflI was pricing train tickets up :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Let me be the devil here mrs ids. When we were on holiday my DD had friends to stay and I had a Swarovski penguin disappear, they probably thought I would not notice as I had two identical ones. Now of course none of her "friends" took it, though strangely enough she saw one in one of their houses not long after, it had been a birthday gift for the mother, and was the only piece of Swarovski in the house. Generally people "collect" Swarovski, I have quite a few pieces.
Not saying this is what happened, but it does happen for sure.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -

Sorry to hear your bad news, mrs ids.
Snapant, love your luggage.
Been to T's where they had Duracell D6 six-pack batteries in the rtc area at 2.50 instead of 10, and same for C6 six-pack so got some for DD for the kids' toys. Also bags of own-brand penne pasta down to 18p, so got quite a few and put them straight in the foodbank box in store. Got some rtc cherries and mini burgers for myself.“All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.”0 -
