[Andrew Holmes <aholmes@chubb.com>]

It got broken when some little git tried to break-in to the car - Fifth time in 20
months.Car crime over here (especially in London) is higher than any where else on
the planet and it seems that no car from the most expensive to the cheapest rust
bucket is safe. No one has yet got in but everytime they leave a mess and i have a
hell of a time finding the parts.
