Ghia Broken Into - Ford Forums - Mustang Forum, Ford Trucks, Ford Focus and Ford Cars

Had my Ghia broken into last night. The car was locked, but there's no evidence of forced entry. Locks still work fine.

I walked out to the car this morning, saw the drivers door half open, looked inside and everything was upside down. They took my Ray-Ban sunnies and about $50 worth in loose change. They made a half-witted attempt at the CD player, but left it. They also left my hand held CB which they took out of the map pocket, and left on the drivers seat. Maybe they forgot it?

I feel sick right now.

The car will get a silent alarm this week, and hopefully they strike again.

Sorry to hear that mate, The alarm will be worthwhile. The XF's are really easy to get into.
I took out the lock knobs in mine to stop people getting packing tape in there and pulling them up.

I was amazed when i saw just how easy it is to break into an XD/XF and early e-series. As dan said, all you need is some packing tape.

Damn Waz, sorry to hear mate. Sounds like an alarm will be a good move.

Not good, and BTW packing tape it the amature way to get into an XF, there is a far quicker simplier very scary way, if you want to know more Pearly drop me a PM, and will tell you how to secure an XF properly.

there easy to get into but easier to start, i can start a xd-xf with a fork

bugga waz, but atleast they didnt damage it, try not to leave stuff in it mate... they are very easy to get into from what i have seen, alarm it and fit an immobilisor.

Yeh, I'm just glad the car wasn't damaged.
I'll fit some deadlocks when I get home tonight, and the alarm goes on Wed.

Sorry to hear is Warren, but by the sounds of all you are putting in the car it shouldn't be too easy to get into it next time.
