Hi
My car (Fiat Punto 02) got broken into last night. Woke up to find all of my doors open (the locks anyway, and the boot) so the guy obviously looked for stuff to steal.
I had two old xbox 1 games which I was going to give to a charity, and my cd player which had bluetooth and mp3 usb....
The Cd player was in my seat, pretty fortunate, and the 2 old games were taken, no idea why.
Anyway, the passenger door (2door car), had like a small cut on the side of the lock (car has central locking), so the guy must have known what he was doing. Should I get this fixed? The central locking still opens and closes fine
I also have a few years protected no claims, so is it worth telling my insurance company? Someone hit me and ran off, I saw the car too. I went to my insurance, they couldnt find him, and I didnt bother taking it further as it wasnt worth my excess, they still increased my insurance the next year even though it was only notification of an accident.Is it worth telling them about this? What could and would they do? They would have to fix the door right?
And is it worth telling the police, as they were the same. They said they would try and find the guy above who hit me, but they sent a letter a week later saying they couldnt contact them and so dropped the case which is pretty useless.
My Punto mk2 also has an alarm and immobiliser right? so why didnt it go off?
Thanks
