Simples solution - get the GF to travel. Your car parked safe and sound and no fuel used

Years ago I had a nice Shogun with a Stainless Steel spare wheel cover, the centre was colour coded and had a quality vinyl logo - cost a few quid in the day - the thieving bastards burst the lock and took the cover.

Hmmm
I'd now be paranoid myself
I'd a: leave car at home
B: ask a neighbour with off road parking
C : she's drives to mine
D: replace her

I'm no detective, but to me this sounds like a homeless guy knicking something to sleep on/under.

If they thought it was a roadster and were going to try and steal the car....why did they take the cover and not just leave it on the floor when they saw it was a coupe? Doesn't make sense. They obviously wanted the cover not the car.

Who wants a car cover that's already pretty much ruined as anything but a sheet of material?

Homeless people....and these are also the types that are wandering the streets at 4am.

Not that it's going to make you feel any better, but I don't think anyone was trying to steal your car. Just a cold tramp seizing an opportunity to get covered up... in my humble opinion.

Which bit of Nottingham are you in? I work here - not seen many e86's about since I got mine. Sorry to hear about your cover.

She's near the university, main campus. I don't drive too much around the city, just to get out of the city :p

Got home to find my cover had gone, made me think about this post....

I found it down the drive jammed against the garage. Wind was bad enough to rip it off it's ties.

There's a huge sail area in cover!

Student area?

Forget the tramp theory. Pissed up students seem the likely culprits. When daddy's paid for everything they've ever owned they don't have a lot of respect for other people's property.

Nope, I'm an engineer of the automotive variety
