you mean you sent your car to a garage to have some work done and they nicked everything? what a bunch of bellends? why not just give all the bits back??? pretty obvious it was them, plus you had to go back to them to get your car!?!?

or am i getting the wrong end of the stick?

Sorry to hear it mate. Can't have anything these days.

Get a full list of what went missing and at least if anyone hears of the stuff going locally they might be able to help. There's only so many Starlets in the country..
 
Sorry to hear about this bud, hope you get it sorted.
Think the garage should buy the exact parts back for you and fit them free of charge, at the end of the day its down to their security how people were able to break in and have the time to remove all these parts, do they not have a alarm or anything in their garage??
Such a shame...

Yeah, seek legal advice ASAFP.

The car was in their care and thus should be covered under their liability.

A solicitor will be able to advise you better.

and thats why i do the work myself
a/ dont get ripped
b/ do a better job than the garage in the 1st place
c/ dont have some tosser joyriding my car
 
Well, as someone who knows a bit but wouldn't trust himself with anything safety critical, I'd view it as essential to find a trustworthy garage. And if anything get's stolen in their care, it was their responsibility to keep it safe. Thus, they should accurately compensate for their shortcoming.

So I'd add weight to the legal argument!

thats a gutter! i would be well pissed. how long was the car there for? if it was only there a day or two that sounds a bit suspect!
